Can this phone be used upon activation on a current Verizon plan, or does it have to be used as a prepaid phone first?

Yes it can be use on current plan. I bought for my son to replace his broken phone instead of upgrading our contract. All I had to do was activate and it worked fine.

As far as I know you have to have a Verizon plan. If you do then you can activate it on line or by calling Verizon.

Yes,just take it to Verizon & have then activate it for you.Word of warning this phone is supposed to be ultra tough,I dropped mine from waist height & it's been a problem ever since.Dropped my old Motorola off of 12 ft. ladders & it kept on ticking.

Yes, it is ready to use as soon as it arrives. I just dialed *228 from the phone and it connected me directly to the verizon automated activation center. Just takes a couple steps and the phone is all set to go.

The phone can be a prepaid. When I bought it it had been used with Vodaphone, Verizon's prepaid phone service. My particular phone is limited to networks, prepaid or not, that use Verizon's towers.

yes you will and as long as you already have an account with verizon. you just log in to your account online and go to activate your phone. Took me only 10 min. If not take it to the store and get set up with a plan.

No you cannot. That is why I had a problem with it. You need to find a refurbished phone or one that is listed as having service for a year prior. The only way to use a verizon phone (pre-paid or contract) for an exsisting contract or plan is if the phone has been previously used for 1 year or more.

Yes you can if fact last time I activated the phone that was the only plan they had they did away with the other like the 70.00 dollar one. I went Verizon contract because the phones u get with pre paid r 3 year old phones so if anything goes wrong u will need to buy another.

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.

Yes you can. When you get the phone in the mail there will be instructions to activate it...or you can take it to verizon and they can do it for free

No, you don't have to use it with a pre-paid plan. I purchased this phone and was able to activate it on my existing Verizon wireless plan.

you can use it on a prepaid plan; mine is Verizon contract. This is an older model Motorola. I have used this phone for nearly four years in a house with 5 dogs and an eight year old. It's sturdy and reliable with gorilla glass on the front and kevlar coating on the back. I will probably pass it to my daughter when I renew my contract.

No contract with this phone means that once you receive this phone you can immediately activate it with any wireless carrier. With some phones, if they were a prepaid phone for example, you have to wait a certain amount of time before you activate it.

I think you have to buy a sim card... actually with Verizon accounts, that is included upon activation, so you don't actually pay separately for it. I LOVED this phone but hated Verizon. I would still be using it if I could put up with them!
