Has this phone been pre-activated for at least 6 months so it can be used for a phone already on Contract?

This was a referb and it worked for about 3-4 months and then didn't work right. It went to my daughter (college student) so I'm not sure how well she took care of it. It was a good phone in and of itself.

Not sure exactly but I just ordered/bought phone before Christmas, and just called Verizon and switched/transferred old one to this new one with no problems and it works just fine. However, I did but now no longer have a contract with them since mine expired a few years ago, but still using same plan and company......so it shouldn't matter. This phone is exactly as my old phone, just newer is all.

Yes, when you get the phone and initially turn it on, select activate, then you can use it on an existing contract....I went on line and did mine with Verizon (switch device feature from old to new 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.

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 was in the same situation. I broke my phone and they wouldn't give me contract pricing. Yes, you can activate the phone, and buy a new phone at contract pricing when your current contract expires. I wasn't charged any activation fee. Hope this helps.

I am sorry but I have never used mine and have given away my phone. However I still have the SIM and would also appreciate knowing if it will work in any phone, or if there is a time limit on its activation.

Nope no contract required! That is why I bought it. I took it to my local Verizon dealer and they set it up for me and transferred my existing phone numbers to my new phone. I paid a little nominal service fee to do that, but it is sure nice to have no contract or belocked in for two years. If you have more questions let me know.

Depends who you are buying from. The phone works great, I've had it for 7 months now.

Post usually are phones on contracts. This phone however is a prepaid phone and apparently needs to be activated for six months before you can switch to a contract.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes you can. I bought one for my wife who had broke her HTC 8X with 18 months still on the contract. Activated it and it works just fine.

Yes. I have kept it as a backup and had to activated several times between phones.

I bought it for that reason and NO you can't. I confused me & I wish I had asked first. I bought it for my Dad because he lost his phone. We couldn't use it. They(Verizon) he could use it 60 days after their plan ended if he wanted a pre-paid option. Its still in the box!

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.

As far as I am aware, from my experience with it, this phone is only for Verizon use. All I had to do when I owned one was to activate it by calling the number and putting in my Verizon info. It took no more than five mins!
