Can I use this phone with Verizon service? Can I purchase an unlocked phone such as this one and transfer my cell service to the phone?

No, this phone is based on the worldwide GSM standard. Verizon uses a proprietary cellphone standard, so you can only buy phones from Verizon (they have promised to change this closed-loop system in the future).

Only if you purchase the phone through here as verizon doesnt offer this phone as a contract phone anymore. Its not a new upcoming phone

Yes you can use it with a Verizon contract, but since it's a smart phone it will cost you $45 per month.e-mail me at fernmartin@sbcglobal.net. I'll read you all the feature of that phone.

Taylor,Yes you can. I have this phone and I have Verizon for a provider. I do not have a data plan. When I purchased this phone I just had them attach it to my old plan.

I did not purchase this phone as a prepaid. Verizon is the wireless service we use and it was compatible with that service.

Yes, depending on the carrier. My plan was to use the phone with PagePlus service but they could not activate it with Verizon because of a outstanding bill on the phone when I bought.

As long as its not a prepaid phone you can. I bought the same phone on amazon. When I got it I took it to Verizon and they activated it for me. I kept my same number too. But this one says prepaid. Try searching for the one that's not prepaid

Yes. The phone you use doesn't matter as long as it's a Verizon phone, of course. Verizon wants to make sure they keep providing you phone service, that's the real reason for the contract. Good luck if you purchase the phone:-)

This is not a prepaid phone. You may be able to do that if you contact Verizon, but probably not. I would not recommend buying this phone anyways as seen in my 1 star review...

It is unlocked, and I've seen Verizon and Sprint customers with the phone. Call them and ask. The description lists compatible services, so see if it matches the provider

I believe it is a locked phone. An unlocked phone, as I understand it, can be used with any carrier, this phone can only be used with Verizon. I hope this helps.

NO it can't do not buy this phone if you plan on using Verizon. See this phone is only compatible with GSM carriers like at&t; and tmoble, Verizon is a CDMA provider.

Depending on the seller you select, it may be unlocked. You cannot use it with Verizon, however, as they use CDMA, and this is a GSM phone.

Yes you can just transfer your number to this phone. Your verizon plan just covers "data" makes no difference which phone you are using, as long as it is a smart phone which accesses the internet.

This phone is a locked phone under verizon; regardless, if you buy an unlocked version of the phone that isn't limited to verizon wireless or if you're able to unlock the phone yourself you should be able to use it under tracfone's services. Make sure the esn # is clear (ensures the phone wasn't reported stolen) or else you won't be able to activate the phone.

What service provider do you have? It may not require a SIM card for service. If you do need a SIM go to your provider's store and they will give you one. Or at least Verizon did for me at no charge.
