Switch my Verizon Basic phone to iPhone?

Ok so I have an LG Cosmos through Verizon wireless. I really want an iPhone but they won't let me get one without the expensive Data Plan. My question is can I buy an iPhone online, and call the Verizon number and have them activate it with my number? Ya know like transfer my number to the new phone, to get around paying for the stupid plan. Using the iPhone kind of like an iPod that makes calls?

I know this isn't what you want to hear, but simply put, no. The iPhone is a smartphone and once is switched by Verizon the data plan is automatically added. Sorry this isn't the answer you're looking for. I know you don't want to pay for the plan, however, have you conisdered what you can do with a smartphone? My suggestion, consider opting for the data plan. Once you experience it on a day 2 day basis, you will wonder why you never did it before. Good luck, hope this was informative enough for you

  • Would it be crazy to go back to a basic phone? I feel like smartphones have ruined us. I've disconnected from social media and can no longer access my accounts, however I feel like it still isn't enough. I'm still addicted to my iPhone. Would it be nuts for somebody in their early 20's to ditch smartphones and go back to a basic one with standard features like text and call?
  • What if I put a basic phone sim card to an unlocked iPhone? I have a basic phone which can only call (I pay about $10 a month for this). But now I have an unlocked iPhone 5s, which I use for music. So I thought, why not put the sim card in the iPhone so I don't have to carry 2 phones. I DON'T want to have to pay for data. So, if I put the "basic phone" sim card in the iPhone, will it automatically charge me for the monthly data? Like $40-80 a month? (AT&T)
  • What does it mean to be basic? Like a basic white girl? If someone was a "basic white girl" or "basic," what do they do, or how do they act?
  • Switching to a basic phone from an iPhone? Long story short, I broke my iPhone 5c. It was still under the 1 year warranty, so Apple is going to replace it. However, they didn't have any in stock at my local Apple Store, but they were going to get a shipment in 3-4 days. I still have an old basic flip phone, so would I be able to switch to that for the next 3 days and then switch back to my iPhone? Would my Verizon data plan affect this at all?
