I never could get this phone to work no matter how much time i spend on the phone with Verizon. Hopefully you'll have better luck, but i gave up and lost $25.

Hi. Well we did activated this phone. But since connection of the battery broke so we no longer use it.

Actually, just 2 weeks ago, I activated my old one for my youngest daughter as a prepaid phone. She has had no problems using it as prepaid. I went to a corporate store before I activated it and they said it's not a problem to activate them as prepaid.

No you can't it says it can be used but no so don't buy it. Don't use a phone that says it is prepaid or no contract phones because it means the same thing look for another Verizon Phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I added a line to my current plan with verizon for my daughter using the phone. I am not sure if it can be used as a prepaid phone but I know for sure it can be used with regular monthly service plans. Hope this helps!

No you can't! I was very disappointed. I have to use it for 6 months with the prepaid plans to be able to use it on a regular line.

Hi, T. HA--I was previously a TMobile prepaid customer on the 1500 talk and text plan and had been using another phone. I purchased this one off Amazon and called TMobile to activate the sim card that came with new phone. The guy that I first spoke to said that I couldn't activate it to the new Walmart plan because the phone hadn't been purchased at Walmart. I probably spent around 20 minutes speaking to him. I then asked to speak with a customer service supervisor and once I got through to her, the activation of the new sim card to the Walmart plan and the porting of my old Prepaid number over to the newly activated sim card took about 5 minutes. I was very pleased, but you just need to be persistent. Hi, T. HA--I was previously a TMobile prepaid customer on the 1500 talk and text plan and had been using another phone.

No it will not work I made this mistake already this phone is made for Verizon prepaid U need to use it with Verizon prepaid for 6 months and then you could use it on your regular plan

We bought one like it and we thought it was a contract but it's prepaid for the first 6 months then you can use it as a contract phone.

No. I haven't done a pre-activation, but I do "exchange" my phones for ones that are already on a contract, or used to be contract. As with what Silverfox stated, the contract expired several years ago and Verizon allows switch/transfer/exchanges of phones bought outside of Verizon without any hassles.

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.

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

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.

That was so long ago, I don't remember. What I do remember was that it took at least 5 hours to activate the phone and I ended up sending it back and cancelling the service. They do have an 800 number that would probably give you the answer. Also, the advertised monthly rate does not include all kinds of taxes, which increased the price considerably and was another reason I cancelled. Hope this is helpful to you.

The one I got was not possible to be activated to my account until it had been in pre-pay for 6 months. Refunded with no questions asked.

NO,I made the mistake of purchasing this same phone to replace an old phone I have with Verizon. When I kept having trouble trying to activate it, I called a Verizon Rep. & he said unless the phone has been used on a "Prepaid" plan for 6 months, they can't connect it to your Verizon acct. I had to return it and get one that wasn't "prepaid". Make sure you read all the fine print in the item description. If you find one that's not "prepaid" as I eventually did, it will work just fine.

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

It is already activated. If you have an unlocked phone, after you put in the sim you can make calls right away even in the US, just dont pick it up as it will be long distance call.
