Data transfer/phone activation

When ordering online, and using the data transfer app, is the new device activated upon arrival, and how do I deactivate old device when transfer is complete?

Activation is the process of transferring service between phones. (As in new phone has service, old one doesn't) 

Transferring data is not activating.

Your new device should come with a Sim, possibly installed in the phone, and a quick start guide which tells you how to activate the sim to transfer service to the new phone.
