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.

Yes. My contract is really old and my device was grandfathered-in, but if the offer is still available it is real.

Positive. You only have to check that the company you have a contract with, supports given communication protocol, meaning that they support GSM network protocol (if they have CDMA or TDMA supported networks only, for instance, cellphone that supports GSM only would be useless).

Positively yes. We have purchased several verizon no contract phones through amazon and so long as all those words are part of the description we have never had a problem.

I noticed this too. I also went to ATT's site and set up a mock plan which does have the option. I'm looking to switch and am wondering if I sign up through Amazon will I be able to go in store and switch to the $30 unlimited messaging family plan? This guy doesn't want to get hosed 120 bucks a year for signing up on Amazon.

I talked to Amazon.com customer service. The rep had to ask around to a few people, but it appears that it's okay to port a number from a different carrier. However, that number may not be a Cingular number. I would suggest that you also check with customer service to make sure you get the same answer. If so, it seems that they need to clarify the rules.

When I called SquareTrade to ask about this different deductible, the agent said that in order to get the $50 deductible, you have to had purchased the phone through Amazon too. But, this answer was completely contrary to what it says here on Amazon that you could have purchased the phone from any 3rd party retailer, etc. So, my guess is that the SquareTrade agent that I spoke to was wrong.

Yes, this phone can be used on your existing Verizon contract. I just had to go to the Verizon store and have one of the sales reps there program it for me and move all my contacts from my old phone to the new phone. Took only a few minutes for him to do and didn't cost me a thing.

The information I read indicated that the phone wasn't compatible with contracted plans but you might want to call up Verizon anyway and ask them.

You can transfer your number if you switch service providers. Go to the Amazon Wireless Help Center for more information. An important requirement is that when you sign up for a new contract, your billing name and address must be exactly the same.

you can always call verizon and ask if they can use it as a pre-paid im pretty sure they use the same numbers to activate. but i wouldn't know for sure i activated mine with my contract plan.

Unfortunately, no. Amazon only offers brand new service contracts, you don't qualify if you have existing service. You can cancel your service, open a new account, and once open request your old number back. (This is called MSISDN maintenance.) It's not guaranteed to work, but you get your number back 95% of the time within 24 hours of filing the request.

Verizon will not allow you to use this phone with a contract plan. The plan that you can get with this phone is better than a 2 year commited plan. With this plan you can back out anytime you choose without any penatiles.
