If I buy an iphone separately can i activate it on verizon?
So I have an iphone and data plan already. If i buy myself another 4 (because mine is broken but usable) will i get charged if i activate it? Like basically if i replace my already activated iphone 4 with a new iphone 4, will it cost money?
If you do it online, there should be no cost. If you take it to the store, or do it over the phone, there might be a convenience fee. Log in at www.verizonwireless.com to activate it. (I haven't been charged in the past for switching phones that way)
They might charge you an activation fee, maybe $30. Your current plan and contract won't change. They're less likely to charge you if you activate it yourself instead of by calling a human at Verizon or by going to the Verizon store (but they might charge no matter what).
To activate online go to: http://www.verizonwireless.com/...eviceId.do
You can also activate by calling *228 from the phone you want to activate.
IMPORTANT: It has to be a *Verizon* iPhone.iPhones made for other carriers (AT&T, Sprint, etc.) won't work with Verizon (and vice-versa).
- Will my cell phone plan with verizon be cheaper if I get the iPhone separately? I plan on switching to Verizon soon, yet I will be on a budget since I'll also be living on my own for college. So my question is, can I open up an account with Verizon, buy a cheap phone with data and texting etc. On it, THEN buy a Verizon iPhone off of ebay? Also, how much would the monthly charge be if I was to buy an iPhone 5 with its plan at Verizon?
- If i buy an iPhone separately from verizon can i still keep my unlimited data? I currently have an iPhone 4 with unlimited data with verizon and i want to know if i buy the iPhone 4S say from the apple store and get my number switched to that phone will it completely switch my phone plan or can i keep my unlimited data for the same price?
- If i buy a used iphone 4s can i activate it with verizon's prepaid plans? I'm a minor so i can't get a contract on my own, so i figured that a prepaid plan is the best option for me. Is there any sort of deposit or contract or credit check or anything like that? And is it one of those prepaid plans that you get on a card from walmart or something?
- I purchased a used Verizon iPhone 4 and want to activate it on my Verizon account? A friend uses her dad's old iPhone on her AT&T account as her phone without a data plan. I want to do the same and replace my 12 year old's flip phone. Verizon says I must purchase another data plan to activate this phone to my account. Any suggestions? Otherwise we're thru with Verizon.
