i checked at the verizon store yesterday and hasnt showed up yet.         when i went to the best buy store  it said i had to check again which i did, but this time it wasnt allowed and it gave a number.   pretty much i had to call and verify who i was.   ( does that count as a pull??)

That's what I did when I got my iPhone back in January. It didn't show as an inquiry until a couple of weeks.

Who knows, tho? Perhaps they changed it in the last nine months?

Couldn't you screen shot that and then if it does end up being a hard pull..... dispute it under the reason that you were promised it was a soft pull?

There might be a difference if it's your first line with them vs subsequent lines/just adding a phone. It was a HP for me to open my very first (two) line(s) of service (ever) with them.
