Can I buy an iPhone separately then have a phone plan with Verizon?
I'm thinking of using an iPhone 5c but don't wanna pay the out-front price nor sign contracts for the phone (Edge). I've found a buyer that sells the phone separately. Could I buy that iPhone and then get a phone plan with Verizon?
If you buy an unlocked phone you can use any SIM card in the phone.
If you buy any local phone or unlock phone to use SIM.
Check with Verizon first. Version still uses the old CDMA cellular phone technology, not the GSM that the rest of the world uses. This means that the phone has to be designed to work with CDMA and must be registered with Verizon-you can't simply pop a SIM card into it and go.
Sprint is the same way. However, other operators such as AT&T uses the GSM system, so you can buy a completely unlocked iPhone and just put one of their SIMs into it to use it.
You can get completely unlocked iPhones from the Apple store. Any seller that claims to sell unlocked iPhones at a significant discount is probably selling stolen phones, since Apple doesn't allow its resellers to give deep discounts. If you buy an unlocked phone new, you must pay full retail price for it.
- 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 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?
- How to separately have two devices connected to the same email? I have an iPod touch and an iPhone. They're both connected to the same apple account and so they have the same email. Whenever I get texts or send them to someone that also has an iPhone it pops up on my iPod and has the whole conversation as if I've been messaging from that device but I've been messaging from my phone, I do I get it to stop doing this?
