I bought one a few months ago from Amazon and had no problem getting it activated by Verizon. They transferred my contacts and were very nice about it.

Yes you can. I bought one for my wife who had broke her HTC 8X with 18 months still on the contract. Activated it and it works just fine.

Verizon will not allow you to use this phone with a contract plan. The plan that you can get with this phone is better than a 2 year commited plan. With this plan you can back out anytime you choose without any penatiles.

NO,I made the mistake of purchasing this same phone to replace an old phone I have with Verizon. When I kept having trouble trying to activate it, I called a Verizon Rep. & he said unless the phone has been used on a "Prepaid" plan for 6 months, they can't connect it to your Verizon acct. I had to return it and get one that wasn't "prepaid". Make sure you read all the fine print in the item description. If you find one that's not "prepaid" as I eventually did, it will work just fine.

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.

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.

We purchased this phone to be used on our already existing contract through Verizon for my grandfather who doesn't want a smart phone and ended up being told we could not use it. Only for prepaid accts. I wouldn't have purchased the phone if I knew that.

The information I read indicated that the phone wasn't compatible with contracted plans but you might want to call up Verizon anyway and ask them.

You have to already have a Verizon account. You can go to to verizonwireless.com or contact a different reseller that works with Verizon. I would go to verizon first, it's quite possible that they can give you a better deal on a newer (non refurbished) phone for starting a contract with them... it's up to you what route you go.

not sure. We took it to the Verizon store and they did it for us as well as moving all the contact information. This does not renew your contract with them.

No you cannot. That is why I had a problem with it. You need to find a refurbished phone or one that is listed as having service for a year prior. The only way to use a verizon phone (pre-paid or contract) for an exsisting contract or plan is if the phone has been previously used for 1 year or more.

i bought the same one and was able to activate it with the contract, but you can imply do it online and skip the visit to the store if you prefer
