I have never seen a Verizon phone with a chip in it, are you sure about that? I know that there are slots for SD cards, the battery , but not a chip and if you are speaking about the SD card then it will work>

I don't know about the chip but I called and they set it up over the phone and switched my plan from my old verizon prepaid phone to this one I didn't change the chip just backed up my contacts and synced them with my Gmail account but I would suggest you buy the exceed 2 it is a better phone and its around 30 dollars cheaper

If it is the same sized sim card that this phone takes then you sure can! That's what I did. I was in the same situation as you, just wanted something to hold me over until my upgrade.

Yes. Just remove the SIM card from your previous smart phone. (You will need to have a data plan on your current contract) Place your SIM card in the new phone. The device will run through a wizard set up, soon after it should connect to the Verizon services.

I'm not sure, when I bought it was for a Sprint regular plan, not sure about prepaid, I would contact Sprint and see if you can add a phone that you purchase elsewhere to your prepaid plan. Hope this helps

If it is a prepaid you can. It won't work with a regular account unless you have had the prepaid phone active for a year. i like this phone but it is a prepaid account .

The phone that I bought was not prepaid. I specifically bought it to use on an existing Verizon account. I generally believe that if the phone is specified "no contract' that it will work on an existing or new Verizon account.

Mike-You can keep your old number. Just remove the sim card from your old phone and put it in this one.

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.

YES! I tried to activate this phone on the prepaid plan and it was not able to be done. I was told by both the Verizon Reps on the phone and in the store that it cannot be activated now on prepaid because it's out of date. I had to return it once I bought it here because people answered no when it could not be done so. It can only be done on a plan now.

Yes, you should be able to activate this Pantech on your Verizon account to replace an existing phone. You then can keep the same number. Verizon does charge if you change cellphones too often (less than 6 months, I believe).

Yes, but it's mini-sim so if your current phone has the big one, you may have to ask your provider for a new sim. That's what I had to do.

I checked with Verizon and Jodie is correct. If you had both this and your contract phones for 6 months, then wanted to use this one on your contract (or regular account after contract ends), you could then switch it over. The prepaid is about as cheap as my new plan on Verizon (unlimited talk, unlimited text, 250M data), so I'll keep my plan as long as the current phone works and just switch over to prepaid and this phone with my number at that time.

Not in my case. I had a prepaid T-Mobile phone already. I just transferred the SIM card to the new phone.

If you live in USA, yes, you certainly can. You could use this phone with any card prepaid because the phone is UNLOCKED! It is UNLOCKED!! Its original carrier was AT&T.; I checked with T-Mobile and worked it! It will work with any prepaid carrier.

My phone was a "post paid" that I put on my existing plan as a replacement one after getting it washed. I believe that they may be available as a prepaid version, but I was only looking for one to use on my existing plan and the description was fairly clear on that. It may also be possible to "convert" one, I am not sure, but I had good luck with talking with the Verizon people on some of these things as they understood that in my case buying a phone from someone else would be the better way for me to go in my situation. (they even suggested that I consider a used phone)

It is a prepaid phone which is basically means just buying those prepaid cards in the store and adding them to your prepaid account. If you already have a plan with Verizon, you can't use it with your plan unless you have been using it as a prepaid phone for at least 6 months. I know it's weird but that's what they told me when I tried to add it to my plan after using it as a prepaid phone for only 3 months. And if you do add it after the 6 months, you don't have start a new contract. Those contracts are usually only for when you are buying a phone from Verizon for a discounted price. Hope that helps. Your best bet is to call Verizon and find out what will work best for depending on your situation. :)

Since it is a Verizon phone i do not see way that would be a problem. Just give one of the stores a call let them know what you want too do. Good luck an I got you enjoy your phone as much as I have. Thank you, Patti
