What is the price if it's an account upgrade instead of new activation? I want to upgrade my phone to Treo 700p I am ready for a new contract but does that qualify for this price?

I would go through Verizon to get this phone. As long as your contract is up, it will give you the option of signing up again for 1 or 2 years. And since this would be re-signing up for a contract, you will get the discounted price to upgrade your phone. I am not sure how Amazon does the upgrades and therefore would suggest going through Verizon for that. Hope this helped.

Yes! Love the phone. And I'm with T-Mobile on the $30/mo pre-pay plan (no taxes or fees added): unlimited texting, 5 GB data, and 100 mins. You have to call them to get this deal. No matter what plan you get you will need to get the SIM Starter Kit $10, but when I called them they waived the $10 for me. Enjoy your 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.

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.

The same thing happened to me. When you bring your own phone it doesn't count towards your upgrade. Just make sure it is a Verizon ready phone.

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.

You pay the charge to activate phone. I bought this phone for my niece & added her to my plan.

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.

I activated mine. I had to take it to verizon and get a SIM card though. The fee for the card is $5.00. If you have the same phone already just slide the sim card out from above the battery in the back of the previous one and replace in new phone and turn on. Everythg should just transfer over.

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

I just got it and activated it no problemo; it works fine with my existing verizon contract; problem is verizon is a big pain in the arse for expense vs what you get

Yes, you can activate it to your account. This model does require a data plan. Verizon may charge and activation fee, I'm not sure. Ususally you can call in to activate a phone but I'm not sure if they would still charge or not.Thank you for your interest,ClaytonMobilekarma

This phone is without a contract! I just walked into a Sprint Store where I live and not only did they help activate it for me, they helped me figure out how to use it. I must have stayed over an hour. Now of course I already had service with Sprint and had a "Plan" in place, but my previous 2 year contract had run out.

No (at least for an existing Verizon account). Just be sure to get help activating by calling or "chatting" Verizon. If you try to do it online by yourself, after you enter the phone's ID (under the battery), you'll get a popup window warning that you have to change your plan to at least a $10/month data package. That's when I used Chat and was told I could remove the charge after the fact. When I balked at having to remove the charges, the agent volunteered to take care of activation for me. Yay! It worked out great.
