I think if you buy the 3g/4g enabled version you can, but honestly this tablet is not worth your time. It does not hold a charge, and if you plan to use wifi, mine did not work. I sent it back to amazon right away.

I think so, but it was a Sprint phone & I use Verizon, so I was unable to activate.

yes, then you can either take the phone to the verizon store or activate it over the phone or on the internet.

No it won't. Verizon won't activate it because it's not a Verizon brand phone. I bought this and it's still in the box because they wouldn't do it. AT&T; however will send you a sim card for it, with your same number, and get much better phone service and customer service. It's worth it to switch!

I bought this one year ago for $10. It must be activated as a prepaid phone with Verizon for 3 or 6 months(call verizon to confirm) then it can be activated on a plan. I activated it for $9, turned it off, and 6 months made it my primary phone.

Yes, but after you receive the new device, you will need to call Verizon and have them replace your old device with your new device so that it is activated.

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 it's not. You have to buy a SIM card for it. I have also heard that you can call Verizon and buy an unlock code for the phone.

No you can NOT, You need to buy Verzion phones for Verizon network, Unlocked term applied for GSM ( SIM card ) phones

My phone was a Verizon phone. And it can be activated by the user. Check youtube for info.

As long as it is a Verizon model and not a model from another cell provider, yes, Verizon can activate it on a current plan. I had no problem doing the same thing 3 or 4 weeks ago.

In order to activate it with Verizon the phone must have an IMEID number otherwise you will not be able to.

Hi, you have to go to a Verizon Corporate store, they will give you the SIM. Retail dealers will charge you for the SIM card and activation. Found out the hard way.

As long as its not a prepaid phone you can. I bought the same phone on amazon. When I got it I took it to Verizon and they activated it for me. I kept my same number too. But this one says prepaid. Try searching for the one that's not prepaid

I know this is an old post, but I figured I would throw the answer out there. Due to Verizon's desire to screw their customers over at every opportunity, this phone is not able to be activated on a contract plan immediately after purchasing it here. Sure, you could go to Verizon and pay the full MSRP on these lumps of crap, or you could buy it here for a somewhat reasonable price. If you buy it here, though, you must wait for 6 months before the phone can be activated on a contract account. To put it differently, the phone, as you would purchase it from this very product page, would absolutely work on the contract plan, but Verizon will not allow it until 6 months have elapsed from the date of purchase.
