Someone asked how much a month for this phone. Wouldn't it just go under my current plan with Verizon?

Yes. Your new phone will be covered by the plan you already have with Verizon. I am a Verizon customer and when I bought a Samsung Convoy U640 online I just followed the set up procedure on the phone and it automatically became my Verizon phone. I didn't even have to go to or call Verizon. You will need to transfer your contact numbers from your old phone to your new one yourself, one at a time. If this is too onerous you can take your new phone to Verizon and they will do it for you. They don't charge for this service. They will also transfer your photos. I just downloaded mine from my old phone to my computer.

Yes. Even if your under contract you can change your plan at any time. When I got this phone I changed it to no data and lowered the minutes.

There would be no added cost to your monthly bill if you changed from your current phone to this one. If you have trouble activating the phone often your local Verizon store personnel will assist you at no charge.

I believe so. For me, I didn't have a current plan and couldn't use this for prepaid with them. Had to end up getting a service AND a new phone because this one was too old even for Verizon.

Your provider might charge you an activation fee. Check with verizon because they normally charge that fee.

No. Can only be used with Verizon. After 6 months as pay as you go, can be put in regular plan.

So what happens if your contract expires and you get the phone thru verizon on a new familt share plan for say $150. to $200. that would definitely be cheaper yes?

I use my phone with my Verizon plan. I replaced my earlier cell phone when it wore out. You would need to check with Verizon to see if they will allow you to switch phones on your existing account without upgrading to a higher-priced plan. Depending on your plan It may require you to go to a supervisory level at Verizon for the approval. I ended up telling them I would cancel my plan and just buy a SIM card if I couldn't use the replacement phone on the cheap plan I have. They realized I wasn't bluffing and activated this phone in the account. I like the phone OK. The only down-side is the ringer is not really loud, so I keep it turned all of the way up and miss a few calls when I am in a noisy environment.

No, unfortunately, the Amazon price only applies if you buy this phone with a NEW service plan. In other words, current customers do not get this deal.

When I bought this phone for my son, we put it onto my Verizon account which already had a contract. The phone is not covered by Verizon insurance since we purchased it outright. It still falls under the existing Verizon contract. Hope this answers your question!

I do not know. We added the phone to our Verizon account and our bill increased by $10 a month.

You can get it with a straight talk or net10 sim, both $45 a month unlimited just ask before ordering. actually I got this phone thru straight talk for $ 199 new and got $45 card.

My phone was a "post paid" that I put on my existing plan as a replacement one after getting it washed. I believe that they may be available as a prepaid version, but I was only looking for one to use on my existing plan and the description was fairly clear on that. It may also be possible to "convert" one, I am not sure, but I had good luck with talking with the Verizon people on some of these things as they understood that in my case buying a phone from someone else would be the better way for me to go in my situation. (they even suggested that I consider a used phone)

Yes you can if fact last time I activated the phone that was the only plan they had they did away with the other like the 70.00 dollar one. I went Verizon contract because the phones u get with pre paid r 3 year old phones so if anything goes wrong u will need to buy another.

Yes, you will keep your plan. You lose it if you upgrade(get a new phone) from Verizon.

I am beyond frustrated. I just bought this phone after seeing all the answers here & thinking I could just transfer my current pre-paid plan w/o the data plan. I spoke with a supervisor at Verizon. She said there is NO way this phone can be activated w/o a data plan. Verizon is trying to phase these older models out but if you are willing to pay a minimum of $50/mo for the data plan, you can activate it. She said any plan w/o a data plan will not be supported on this phone & she tried numerous ways to get around that to no avail. I don't know that I would have better luck taking it to a Verizon store. Sounded pretty hopeless. Any comments or tips anyone? I am beyond frustrated.

Nope. Verizon is telling me I need to use it for 6 months first on a prepaid plan. Then I can switch it to a contract plan.

you would have to ask your provider of service. This is just a phone cover that they asked me to provide information on. Verizon is pretty much giving the 4 away now with a 2 yr contract
