How to get my iphone without having to pay verizon?

I currently have a pantech breakout, but i want an iphone 4s. My contract with verizon still has a year on it, I don't want to cancel the contract I just want a new phone. I went on amazon and found some fairly new iphones for about $200, now my question is once I order it and it arrives what is process I need to go thru to activate it? Transfer my contacts? SD card? Pics? And all of that.

All of your data should be synced in the iCloud in your Apple account.iPhones don't use any external memory cards. If you do buy one, sync everything first to make sure it will all work before switching.

Also make sure any Verizon iPhone you buy has a clean ESN. Basically it hasn't been used before because you can't activate any used CMDA phone on another account than the one it was originally assigned.

  • Where can i buy an iphone 5 without having to get a contract? Right now, i want the iphone 5 and just you use it as in itouch. I don't want to have an text/call/internet plan of anything for it now. Where can i get an iphone without a plan and will the iphone still work with my home Wi-Fi if i don't have a phone plan for it?
  • Verizon upgrade fee? Can I pay at the store or do I have to pay it the next bill? I plan on upgrading my phone and renewing my contract next month in January. I plan on getting the iPhone 5s. I'm on this family plan with one line. Is there's an activation fee that I have to pay? Can I pay the upgrade fee at the store while purchasing the new phone? Or do I have to pay it on the next bill?
  • T Mobile or Verizon. Should I pay T-Mobile 175.00 for an upgrade or 94.00 to Verizon for new phone? I want the iPhone 6s plus. I'm already with t mobile but there internet is a bit slow sometimes. Its the jump plan ill get. Ill pay 12.00 for 24 mo. And if i get a new phone they won't run my credit again. But with verizon they'll run my credit. Is pretty good. But i don't want anybody to really run my credit tho lower it. I'm not sure about verizon internet but the commercials looks pretty good. They bboth have unlimited internet. What should I do?
  • Is pay as you go better than pay monthy for an iphone? I can either can an iphone 4 (32gb with small scratch on screen) for 100 pounds and then have a pay as you go sim or an 8gb iphone 4 for "effectively 14.88 a month". Which works out the better deal?
