can this phone be activated on a verizon contract?

No. I tried that. The ESN is bad so this phone is unable to activate with Verizon. I had to return the phone.

You can do it yourself from home, go to Verizon website, and it tell you how to activate. That's how I did mine. It took five minutes.

My phone was a Verizon phone. And it can be activated by the user. Check youtube for info.

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.

I am not sure cause I returned this item due to not being able to activate it with Verizon

I know this is an old post, but I figured I would throw the answer out there. Due to Verizon's desire to screw their customers over at every opportunity, this phone is not able to be activated on a contract plan immediately after purchasing it here. Sure, you could go to Verizon and pay the full MSRP on these lumps of crap, or you could buy it here for a somewhat reasonable price. If you buy it here, though, you must wait for 6 months before the phone can be activated on a contract account. To put it differently, the phone, as you would purchase it from this very product page, would absolutely work on the contract plan, but Verizon will not allow it until 6 months have elapsed from the date of purchase.

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....

Not to my knowledge. You should check with Best Buy or Radio Shack or someone who sells cell phones, but i believe you must buy that company's phone to activate and use it.

I apologize for the late reply but Yes, you can just activate this phone without being charged or renewing your contract.

yes, then you can either take the phone to the verizon store or activate it over the phone or on the internet.

No contract means you don't have to sign a contract to buy it. I bought this and replaced my other phone without messing up my verizon contact.

I don't know. u have to ask the cell phone company or look on the web bc I heard there is a way to "unlock" the phone and use it with any cell phone company. Also, they sell this same phone as a contract phone. But u must use Verizon. I have Verizon prepaid for $50/mo--with unlimited talk, text and web. Sue, did u have more questions? I only saw this one.Verizon 800-922-0204Verizon Pre-Paid 888-294-6804Verizon Activation 800-256-4646

I don't believe you can convert a prepaid phone to a contract plan, but to be sure ask Verizon.

yes it can be activated with Verizon...fyi prepaid phones can also be activated through Verizon but they will try to tell you that you can't so you get into a contract.

I ordered this phone and was able to activate it the day I received it, with my existing Verizon contract.
