Hi Do not know if this information is worth anything to you but here is my story.
I recently upgraded my phone to an IPhone 7 from the 6 S, I wiped the old phone completely to rid all of my information from the phone before handing it over to my brother who wanted to use the phone as a very mini IPad. When wiping it, it wiped everything i.e. all apps. So we took the phone into the Verizon store and they pulled my sim card out of my new phone and inserted it into the old phone to download all the apps again. Then removed my sim card and put it back into my phone. My brother was able to set the phone up to use it as a very mini IPad and it is working great. He cannot make phone calls but can use all the other apps through wireless internet connection. It works much better than the original IPad mini that I gave to him years ago. If you cannot remove the sim card from your phone to do this, there is one work around that will cost about $40. You can get a sim card from the Verizon store for their monthly to go plan which requires no contracts and I assume that using it for one month as cellular and then not buying a new card the next month would work similar to what I did for my brother. Hope this suggestion has some value to you.
