I buy all my Verizon phones from Amazon, but make sure they are refurbished, or never used.

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 had no problem getting mine set up with Verizon. It just replaced a phone that had been broken.

I was able to, however, the first one I purchased was actually a prepaid phone, and I could not use that one and had to return it. You should be able to find out a verification number and you can call Verizon to make sure it is not a prepaid phone.

Sorry, I can't help you. The phone stopped working and I went ahead and upgraded w/ Verizon. I 'recycled' the phone at Verizon about 4 months ago.

Yes, I can't think of any reason why you wouldn't be able to either replace an existing phone or add one to an existing contract. Just contact Verizon prior to purchase to double check.

I am not sure. I bought it through verizon so they may have it locked? I will look into it.

No. Just had a 30-minute conversation with them, it's not on their "approved list", which is b/s, I was able to connect to their activation page, everything is working, they just don't allow to activate this device.

Yes, ask the seller for the ESN number then call Verizon to make sure its clean. If seller will not provide that number or refuses, then don't buy it.. Most likely a problem with the phone it was previously registered with.. Food for thought

Yes,just take it to Verizon & have then activate it for you.Word of warning this phone is supposed to be ultra tough,I dropped mine from waist height & it's been a problem ever since.Dropped my old Motorola off of 12 ft. ladders & it kept on ticking.

Hi, Christy K.Is this a phone you are trying to purchase from AMAZON? I bought one that was Sprint ready last year, after my phone was stolen. I made sure it was supported by Sprint before I purchased it. I had no problems activating it. I hope this helps you.Rob H.

I bought this phone a coupple of months ago and I can´t make it to work. I can talk but I don´t have internet, the service provider says it´s not fully unloked, that the internet service is attached to Verizon. Any help before I ask for a refound!!!

Yes. After the phone is delivered, you will need to call Verizon and they will walk you through getting it activated. Most phones can be done by calling *228, but this one cannot.

No. Even an unlocked phone from at&t; cannot be activated on Verizon. I tried. Verizon tried. Apparently IMEIs are tied to service providers and phones.

The phone is ready to activate, but you will need to provide a Verizon SIM. Verizon will provide one to you if you are a current or new Verizon customer. Thanks!

I took mine to Verizon and was told they could not activate it or link it to my account because it was unlocked and Verizon doesn't 'like' unlocked products and that mine was not compatible.

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.

Yes you can, just take it to your local verizon and let them know you would like to activate the phone. My husband loves it.

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 :)
