Can I activate this phone myself or do I have to go to Verizon? Is there a charge involved?

If you have a SIM card from your previous phone, you should just be able to insert it and go-same number the original phone had. With no SIM card, you do need to go to Verizon for them to activate it but there usually isn't a charge.

you can activate the phone on your own, it's easy. or you can always go to VERIZON, there is no charge. whatever is more comfortable, i've done both in the past....

Verizon has charged me $35 for each phone I activated this Aug 2014 and Aug 2013: I Phone 5c and LG-Envie 2. I activated both of these at home.

You should return to seller, any phone that has an prior account, possibly past issues ,Verizon will not activate.That has always been with Verizon they are not like other phone companies. Sorry

Depends how it described in the Seller's information.Some Prepaid phones come with $10.00 airtime, so you can activate it but you'll be told that you have X minutes remaining on each call. Once you hit zero minutes or just a few, you can the purchase minutes from Verizon - and I seem to rememer that it's a $50.00minimum.Once you have owned it and used it for 6 months, you can put it on one of Verizan's plans.If there are no "AirTime" in the deal, Verizon will charge an activation fee.Regards,BobO'B

I don't know. We were told that Verizon could activate the phone, & they did for a fee, & monthly charge. Then we could suspend the account when we needed to. Since its an older phone, it took them a little while to activate it. After that it worked great. We were very happy with the phone.

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.

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

I think you can either activate it for a prepaid line or contact line. I was trying to activate it for a prepaid line but the phone itself was not working properly so it was unable to be done. I ended up returning the phone

I went to the Verizon store and they set it up for me. They gave me a new Sim card and created the account but I insisted that I would pay for the service only when I needed it rather than when they set it up. They also initially told me there would be an activation fee each time I used the service. Obviously that would be ridiculous and they read further and determined this was not the case. I'v esuccessfully used the device several times now only, adding funds only when I need to use it.

When I bought this card for my wife, it was to check out this type of Verizon card ordering. It came on a piece of copy paper with the pin to input on your phone for activation. We did not incur any fee(s) that she told me about. But this was used in place of the one we usually bought from W*****t. We waited only a few days to activate it. I'm not sure if this helped you out. But buy from this person. Our code worked out great! Good luck!

Hi Kathy,Activation instructions are provided with the phone. The Quick Start Guide will assist you in completing the process. You can also call Customer Service 24/7 if you need assistance.

No (at least for an existing Verizon account). Just be sure to get help activating by calling or "chatting" Verizon. If you try to do it online by yourself, after you enter the phone's ID (under the battery), you'll get a popup window warning that you have to change your plan to at least a $10/month data package. That's when I used Chat and was told I could remove the charge after the fact. When I balked at having to remove the charges, the agent volunteered to take care of activation for me. Yay! It worked out great.

This phone can be useCitizenVerizon . With or without a data plan. The activations free is a pine time fee, I believe. If you have never used Verizon in the past, I would guess there's a free. From that point you would pay as you go.

When you receive the phone you will also receive instructions inside the packaging (from Tracfone) that will tell you how to activate your new phone. You can do this online by going to the Tracfone website and signing up with a new account, or you can do it over the phone (an active phone or land line, of course) by calling the number they give you in the package insert. You will also have to purchase some airtime before your phone will work. I think the minimum amount is $10 or $20. After you have gone through the activation process, Tracfone will allocate a new number for you phone. By the way, I suggest signing up with a website account regardless of what method you choose to activate your phone as it makes it easier to keep track of your account.
