Use a replacement iPhone on Verizon plan?
I have an old basic phone and my contract with Verizon is up which means I'm allowed a free upgrade! I don't really want to extend my contract with them by upgrading to another phone until I'm 100% sure that I want to stay with them. Right now, money is tight and I may need to switch to another carrier if needed. My cousin has an iPhone 4 that he's not using anymore that is part of Verizon. Will it be possible for me to use it as a replacement phone for my basic phone? I understand it requires a data plan and I'm willing to pay it, but will it extend my contract? Will I be able to cancel the data anytime if I want to switch back to a basic phone since it's a replacement phone for me?
No Sorry. The only reason why that's a no is because iPhones use a micro sim and regular phones don't. So you can't just switch phones whenever unless they were both iPhones. You would have to pay a lot of money if you wanted to break the contract. Srry!

---yes
I understand it requires a data plan and I'm willing to pay it, but will it extend my contract?
---no… Contracts are only given if you buy a discounted NEW or USED phone from Verizon or a National Retailer, like Walmart Best Buy Radioshack Wirefly, Amazon… A cell phone is $599+… But if you sign a contract, you can get it for FREE-$199.99… Phones given to you by friends/family or if you buy it from ebay/craiglist/swappa won't have a contract since you didn't buy it from Verizon or a national retailer at a discounted price.
Will I be able to cancel the data anytime if I want to switch back to a basic phone since it's a replacement phone for me?
--- yes… You must first swtich back to the basic phone, then verizon will delete the data plan
I'm a verizon wireless tech support agent and that would be perfectly acceptable. It would not extend or change your contract at all. And liked you said would have to pay for the data. And the iphone is a 3g device and only 4g devices have a sim card unless you get it set up for global use. At least for vzw.
- Use an iPhone without a data plan? (verizon)? I have a flip phone that has been failing me lately. I went to verizon and saw a very small selection of phones that don't require data plans, and out of the selection there weren't any that I saw good reviews for. I know the iphone is a good quality phone, and I really want to get one, but I'm not looking to spend money on the data plan that I know I won't use. is there a way to have an iphone and not have to pay for the internet?
- Replacement Pending iPhone. Replacement phone or fix? My iphone is being repaired and on the apple service page it says 'iPhone replacement pending' and below it says repair complete… I was wondering if this meant that my phone has been repaired or if Apple are sending a replacement iphone different than the original.
- Is the Verizon edge plan a good plan for me? I have the iPhone 4 and really want to upgrade to the 5c or 5s --not sure yet. Anyway, I also would want to upgrade to the 6 when it comes out. Should I get the edge plan so I'll be able to upgrade it or should I wait all the way until the 6 comes out?
- How to use an iPhone on Verizon without a data plan? I'm so sick of the garbage basic phones Verizon has, but I have no need for data (I would only ever use Wi-Fi).
