4G SIM -- How long is it valid if not in a device?

I have a Razr Maxx that for various reasons, want to send to my brother.  It would have to be shipped so the device would be off, and the 4G SIM would not be in it.  I plan on getting an S3 within the next couple weeks (will revert to my Droid X in the meantime).  Will my 4G SIM work if it sits on the shelf for a couple weeks and not in an active 4G device?  Or does it go inactive, as I've heard, when a 3G device is activated on my account, or if it isn't in an active 4G device for more than a day?  I've searched but could not find an answer to this question.
Thanks!

    Thanks so much for this very popular question, ms960.
We have recently made some changes to the 4G SIM "aging" process.
This means that you can not use the SIM for up to 365 days before you won't be able to use it again.
If the SIM is not reactivated within 365 days, the 4G SIM card retires permanently.
I trust this information is helpful to you.

    There are 2 concepts attached to a bank balance. The balance as per your books of accounts and another is the balance maintained with the bank. I believe i need not explain these 2 concepts. These 2 balances can be obtained from Oracle system provided some of prerequsities are met with.
    Balance as per your books - This is nothing but the GL balance available. In order to obtain balances for each bank accounts, it is advised that each bank account should have a separate account code combination. This is achieved generally by having a separate natural account for each bank. The code combination is attached to the cahs account for each bank. By maintaining separate account code combination, the balance in each code combination can be obtained from GL (provided transactions are accounted and posted in GL). These balances represent the balance for each bank according to your books of accounts. You can create an FSG for this purpose and provide the same to the customer, so that they can run the same whenevr they want.
    Balance as per bank - This balance is maintained by oracle in 2 ways - either the bank balance can be manually entered for each bank account for each date (quite cumbersome). Else, while loading the bank statement, the bank balances are also loaded. There are various types of bank balances stored - value dated balance, available balance, float balance etc. Depending on the balances provided by bank along with the bank statement, the bank balance can be recorded in oracle system. After the bank statement is uploaded and balances stored, standard cash management reports are available to query for the bank account balances. In order to view daily movement, the bank statement should be loaded on daily basis.
    Hope this helps.

  • I am OCP forms 6i , pls tell me how long is it valid for ?

    I have done OCP in developers track in 2005 for oracle SQL,PLSQL, FORMS 6i and would like to know how long its valid. I mean is there any end date for this certification?
    Thanks

    Congratulations: then you are Oracle Internet Application Developer Rel. 6i OCP for life (unless Oracle changes it rules or you were to break an agreement and get decertified ... hopefully both are unlikley). Unfortunately there will undoubtably be less and less Forms 6i about, so it will become less relevant.
    However ... I believe 1z0-140 may be able to upgrade you if you like.

  • How long do you have to stay away to be treated like a new customer?

    Comcast offers these great deals to new customers, but won't do anything to try to retain loyal customers who are sick of their bills increasing. Right now I am paying $30 more per month for internet only than a new customer would pay for the same internet speed, plus local channels and HBO. Customer service won't do anything to help, other than offer to downgrade my internet speed. How long do I have to not be a customer to be treated the way they treat new customers?

    There is no way any fellow user here can know anything specific about your repair status.  You will need to call Apple and ask them yourself.

  • How long a CS6 product key is valid?

    Early this year I received as a gift a retail copy of CS6 Master Collection for Windows which came with the product key (serial number). I have not installed it yet on any computer. How long in the future is this product key valid? Can I install this CS6 copy a year or two from now? Will this product key be still valid at that time or does it have a time limit? Wil I be able to activate it after installation in the future?
         I do realize that Adobe does not support CS6 anymore, no updates, but the question is not whether I want to move to Creative Cloud subscription. The question is how long I can wait with the CS6 installation.
         Please respond to isakten@hotmail .com
         Thank you.

    The CS6 serial number will be valid as long as Adobe servers used to activate the product are still running.  In other words, CS6 products were perpetual licensed and so they are valid as long as you wish to use them.
    It is interesting that you don't want to use for another year or two.  Any reasons for this?  In two years time we might have completely different technology so you may want to use the new technology rather than the old one.
    Any way you should be alright in two years time.
    Good luck.

  • How long is my auth token valid?

    In php when I call $session->getAuthenticationToken, I get an authentication token returned to me.   How long is that auth token valid for?
    I ask because I was reading the docs on webcamPublisher and under connectSession it says: "re-sessioning of components is not supported.".  So if my session expires and I want to connect again then in addition to creating a new session I also need to destroy my old webcamPublisher and create a new one.   Am I understanding that correctly?
    Thank you,
    Eric

    A room session ends a few minutes after all users have left.
    Currently there is no way to make the duration of a token, but you can invalidate the session by calling AccountManager.invalidateSession(session).
    Note that invalidating the session doesn't stop users that are already in a room, only users entering or re-entering the room.
    I think we should really provide a "stop room" method, that kicks all users out of the room and invalidate the session. It's in our todo list but not too hight in priority right now.

  • How long can Validating System Tables Post Import really take?

    We imported a large transport set (25GB) into a target environment and it ran for about 40 hours and got to the last step Validating System Tables Post Import..., which is essentially executing the Schema Validation Utility (SVU).
    At that point it seemed to get stuck, as we let it run for 24 hours and nothing was added to the log and it didn't fail and it didn't complete.
    This does not seem reasonable. How long can this possibly take? Can we safely stop the process and run the SVU independently?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    My habit is to save and close all files before sleeping, and shut down at the last percent if I knew I wasn't going to be able to charge within a few hours. My open files and current work is to valuable for me to have the computer sleep right in the middle of whatever I was doing, and the health of my OS is too important to me to ignore the possibility of a hard shutdown.
    I do not know for a fact that the machine executes a hard shutdown, or actually does a proper shutdown sequence when it knows a hard shutdown is immenent.

  • How long is the locally cached token valid?

    Dear Forum,
    we are currently planning to show Microsoft RMS to potential Clients with a live demo and so on. In our preparations we noticed that users are able to be authenticated eventhough there is no connection to the cloud Service. We also figured out that some
    kind of cache (more specific: parts of the certificates) is stored in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\MSIPC, but it's quite intransparent how the cache is used and for how long the locally cached token is valid for a specific RMS protected
    file. In order to be prepared for such questions after the demo, I kindly ask you for help on this matter.
    Thanks and Regards
    Fabio

    Hi Fabio,
    When a user first authenticates against the certification URL of an RMS server, the user is than issued a RAC (rights account certificate) or GIC certificate (those that you see in MSIPC folder). RAC/GIC is issued after user authenticates to the domain and
    is used with further communication between user->RMS server to confirm users' identity. For ADRMS (RMS on premises) the default RAC lifetime is 365 days (it can be manually changed). I would assume that the same amount time is set for Azure RMS.
    You can have a better view on certificates with this great post of Dan Plastina

  • How long does it take after switching on an iPhone 4S before you can enter the SIM card PIN?

    Hello,
    I have question concerning the iPhone 4s. I am currently not sure if my iPhone 4S shows a malfunction or not.
    After switching on my iPhone 4S it can take more 45 seconds before the dialog to enter SIM card PIN is displayed. I observe the same duration with two SIM cards from two different providers. It is not fully reproducible. In some care cases the dialog for requesting the SIM card PIN is also displayed after a few seconds. On my iPhone 3GS and my iPad this dialog is always displayed with the same SIM cards already after a few seconds. Could you please let my know how long does it take with your iPhone 4S?
    Thank you in advance.
    Roland

    I had a similar issue activating by HTC DNA.  The activation instructions Verizon sends are horrible since they explicitly mention that you do not need to call in to activate your phone.  I left my SIM activation running overnight and it just didn't work.  I finally called Verizon from my work phone the next day and the agent informed me that you do need to call to activate your SIM card.  You will need to have your SIM card ready when you call (to provide the long string of numbers on the back of the card).  Hope this helps!

  • How long does iTunes Password remain valid after iTouch purchase?

    Its great to be able to buy songs thru the iTouch.
    But how long does the session / password last after the first purchase?
    Is there a way to log out? Or does the login automatically expire after a period of time(like some websites such as Facebook) ?

    From the manual:
    Your purchase is charged to your iTunes Store account. For additional purchases made
    within the next fifteen minutes, you don’t have to enter your password again.

  • HT5457 Unable to activate my new. 4s for last 4 hours? Response says server not available? Try later. How long is reasonable?

    Unable to activate my new IPhone 4s, response says activation server temporarily unavailable. Have tried continuously over last 4 hours, how long is reasonable before I seek alternative action? It tells me to keep trying!

    If this is a brand new iPhone 4S, contact whoever you purchased
    it from. If you got your iPhone 4S from other than Apple or an Apple
    authorized reseller, your iPhone was most likely hacked or jailbroken
    in the past and the update servers are sensing that.
    If this is an iPhone that is new to you but purchased second hand,
    it most likely was jailbroken. Return the iPhone, get your money back,
    and purchase from Apple or an authorized seller.
    If this is occurring because you just updated or restored your iPhone,
    the iPhone has become relocked to the original wireless carrier. You need
    to contact that original carrier to see if they offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    What does it say when you look at Settings=>General=>About=>Carrier?
    Is there a valid sim in the iPhone?
