Can this phone be added to an existing verizon family plan? What extra fees would there be?

Yes, I believe it can, but the cost would depend on your current plan. If your plan allows you to add a line, it should be ~ $10.00 for voice. Adding the data (internet / e-mail) would be be more, and depend on usage. I would recommend calling Verizon Customer Service and verifying. They have been very helpful (and truthful) in the past. Good Luck.

Yes it can. Cost depends on your plan. Ours is an older account so it only costs us $10.00 per phone and we didn't activate the "smart phone data plan for internet". We use our phones for talk and text only.

Yes you can add it to your Verizon plan. It has the Verizon logo on it and has the Verizon program running in it.

It's not a prepaid phone. You may add it to your plan. We did without a problem.

I was able to activate my phone under the verizon plan that I already had. You will have to have some sort of plan/contract in order to use the phone.

I use my phone with my Verizon plan. I replaced my earlier cell phone when it wore out. You would need to check with Verizon to see if they will allow you to switch phones on your existing account without upgrading to a higher-priced plan. Depending on your plan It may require you to go to a supervisory level at Verizon for the approval. I ended up telling them I would cancel my plan and just buy a SIM card if I couldn't use the replacement phone on the cheap plan I have. They realized I wasn't bluffing and activated this phone in the account. I like the phone OK. The only down-side is the ringer is not really loud, so I keep it turned all of the way up and miss a few calls when I am in a noisy environment.

I have a Verizon family plan (not offered anymore) with 1400 minutes unlimited text and unlimited data. I bought a phone off of Amazon and activated it at a Verizon store with no change in my plan. Verizon WILL change your plan if you buy a phone through them.

Yes! And it's a sticky way to use the Pre-paid process. Verizon want you to take on a $50.00/month usage plan, but after 6 months, you can have them change it to your current Verizon plan.

I just confirmed with Verizon that I can activate this phone on my existing line without it affecting my account in any way. I do not have to use it as a prepaid phone. I can use it with my current plan.

I do not know. We added the phone to our Verizon account and our bill increased by $10 a month.

No. There were no additional charges. The following month I switched to the $30 per month plan by selecting it online (it defaults to the $50 monthly plan). No phone calls, misunderstandings or hassles.

Yes...just go through the activation process and indicate you are adding/extending family plan

I actually bought the phone for my mom because her phone broke. She was under contract with Verizon and they are letting her use it. I believe that the only thing if anything that will be charge from Verizon is the activation fee. I had trouble activating it myself, but I called customer service and they walked me through it. Hope this helps:)

Not a prepay phone, I use mine with verizon contract...no upgrade fee either

This will not interfere with an upgrade. You just log on to your Verizon website, choose your daughter's current device, and choose "Switch Devices." This phone does NOT have a data package capability though. Just so you realize this.

So can this phone be used with another carrier (other than Verizon) or not?

Yes, you should be able to transfer it. We replaced broken phones with this phone, on our Verizon plan. It is a good value, inexpensive and provides the basics of talk, text, and pictures. Plus, by buying it from Amazon, you are not extending your contract!
