can it be activated without extending my contract

Yes. You just take it to whoever you are with and they can put it on your plan without extending it. But you have to already have a data plan or you will be charged

Yes you can as long as you already have a contract with them all you have to do is Call Verizon customer service from another working phone and tell them you want to activate a new phone and they will tell you step by step how and it only takes a few minutes. If you don't already have a contract with Verizon you might need to go to verizon and speak directly to them. I hope this helped :)

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!

There is no contract necessary, but it is not plug and play. The instructions include a web site at AT&T; where you have to register the unit's serial number. You also have to register the phone numbers of users, up to 10, I think. I am not sure, but they might have to be AT&T; phones.

The only way to activate your subscription is to get it installed by an authorized installer. They have a special website not available to the public to get it started.

Yes, you can buy it from Amazon and you can still activate it through Virgin Mobile. That's what I did.

Yes you can use an activated simple card. Just update the phone info on your account via their Web site.

I bought this phone for my mother and she has a contract with verizon, so the answer is yes, you can use it as a contract phone. Just bring it to your phone company and tell them you want that phone activated

Several months ago I too was interested in purchasing this phone. I read other reviews and did what they said. I purchased a used one so that it would already have been activated (and just hoped it would be for the amount of time necessary, i.e. 6 months). I had no problem adding it to my existing contract and number.

As far as I know you can activate whenever you want. The plans, however, do change. What is available today may not be available next month.

No contract. You'll need to activate it on your AT&T; wireless account. I'd try and get it working before you pay for it, if you can.

I believe it can be activated through any cell phone network. Call Verizon to be sure...

You always have to activate a SIM, otherwise it wouldn't be in your name. It comes with a code to use already though.

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 be locked in for two years. If you have more questions let me know.

Yes you can activate and use with existing contract.That is what we did. Phone was like new and is still working great.
