Who can activate this phone?

Anybody can activate it. As long as you have a sims card. But I seriously do NOT recommend buying this phone. I thought it would be cool because the screen is so big. And I completely ignored the reviews. DO NOT BUY IT.

You have to have a data package. It's a lie that the phone doesn't need data. Without it you can't activate it.

Sorry but no. You have to be issued a Google voice number.FYI they don't mention you have to a smart phone or regular land line just to activate.

Hi Maria. You have go get someone on the phone from Verizon that knows which phone you are talking about. It might take a long time (it did for me), but ask for someone who has been there for awhile and they will know which phone you are talking about. They will walk you through and give you a ton of special instructions to get the phone activated. You have to be patient. I wish I wrote the steps down, but I didn't.

No - to activate you must first press the start button on the device and then press the start button on the phone app when it launches ( also, phone must be unlocked prior to device start)

Yes- I bought this for my niece and she was able to activate.. you need some of the id numbers on the phone, which are under settings

To activate your phone its really simple just follow the instructions that come with the phone in the box. If you have any problems beyond that then just call boost to activate it but, it's super easy so you shouldn't have to.

It should be able to be activated anywhere DEPENDING on the carrier (net 10, tracfone, verizon, etc) that you are going to use,

you can activate the phone on your own, it's easy. or you can always go to VERIZON, there is no charge. whatever is more comfortable, i've done both in the past....

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 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.

No, you have to activate some kind of service plan to have a phone # assigned.

Yes. Needed those numbers to activate the phones. I bought two and am very happy with them.

There are instructions provided on the cover. You have to activate the SIM only via those steps. I made the mistake of activating it by calling the customer care and I lost my 39$.

You won't know that until you try to activate the phone.if it is locked there are geeks who know how to unlock it but your wireless carrier will not do it

There is a small sticker on the phone which gives instructions. You must pick your calling plan from the website indicated. Following that you then activate the phone with the serial number displayed on the sticker itself.

You need to call the phone number provided in the activation kit to activate the SIM card first.
