Verizon: Can I use an upgrade from someone else on my plan?

I have an iPhone 4S and I'm not due for an upgrade until March of next year, but I would like to upgrade to an iPhone 5C. My mom (who is on my plan) has an upgrade available that she doesn't want to use (she does not have a smartphone, just a basic flip phone. I don't know if that matters or not). So I was wondering, am I able to use her upgrade to get a 5C? We have verizon.

I believe that you can.

No you can't…

I'm a verizon customer.

  • Will Verizon let me use an iphone from someone else? So, I have a blackberry and I have had it for about a year now. I've been wanting an iphone and I plan on maybe buying one from someone on Ebay or something since it's a bit cheaper. Would Verizon let me use an iphone that I bought from someone and not from their store? And would they let me change my plan with it since mine is for a blackberry?
  • What can I do to keep my unlimited data plan on Verizon and upgrade to the iPhone 5? Now I already know that I can buy one full price from Verizon for about $649 but I don't want to go that route, and I don't want to buy a subsidized iPhone 5 and end up losing my unlimited data plan. Would I be able to just wait and buy a used iPhone 5 after it comes out and then have them activate the phone on my account? They wouldn't be able to take away my unlimited data would they?
  • Using someone else's upgrade? (Verizon)? My mom has Verizon and is eligible for an upgrade. I'm not on her plan nor do i even have verizon. Is it possible to order an iphone (iphone 4s or 5, haven't decided) using her upgrade but transfer that phone to me?
  • Is there a way I can use an iPhone that's logged onto someone else's iCloud? I recently found an iPhone 5s out in the street perfectly fine but it's logged into the owners iCloud and in order for me to restart it I have to put in that persons password and I've been told that there's no way for me remove that account. So I was wondering if anyone knows if it's safe to use it like that and just add another account or if I can use it some other way?
