Can this phone be used to replace an existing basic phone on my Verizon account?

Ditto with the other responses. I bought this phone for this reason. Verizon was happy to transfer my contacts and activate the new phone.

Yes, if you bring it to Verizon they will transfer all your existing contact information and pictures if applicable.

Yes it can. I wasn't able to use a refurbished Extravert however, because the volume was bad on it.

This phone can be used on your existing account as long as it is with Verizon.

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.

Sure, it's easy. Go online to your Verizon account and set it up - there's a number to call that programs the phone to your existing phone number. I like flip phones and this is my all-time favorite.

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.

In my experience, I did change phones without a change in my basic plan - with Verizon. Sometimes you can do this on - line but it took a phone call to Verizon to complete the change

Sure, this basic phone was a replacement for my son, the Verizon phone he had ended up in a swimming pool. LOL

Yes!!! I transfered my previous Verizon number to this phone. Just remember that you will have to purchase a smart phone plan for android....for example the $50 monthly prepaid plan

Yes and yes. I chose to buy this phone after my contract expired so that I would not be "stuck" in another contract with verizon. Verizon connected the phone to my existing number without a new contract. If you have an existing contract, verizon will just connect the phone to your number and the life of your contract will be applied to your new phone. The Charger I received with my new used phone is not the type I would have received from verizon (theirs comes with the usb that disconnects from the plug). The one I received works and charges my phone but is a simple and basic design.

Yes, that's what my daughter did. She broke the phone she had, but was still under contract, so she just took the new phone to the Verizon store and had them swap it over.

Maybe, if you have it "unlocked." I purchased the phone specifically to replace my son's phone on my Verizon account.

I don't think you can use this with an existing Verizon account. it's just a pay as you go phone as far as I know. Check with Verizon, though.

Absolutely, just pop into a Verizon store and the salespeople can switch everything in a matter of seconds, or you can contact Verizon direct and follow the steps to transfer info, number etc to your new phone. Your security number won't change. The old phone will be deactivated from further use and you can recycle it. I just went to the Verizon store and let them do the work, free of charge, it was a lot quicker than following steps on the phone. Good Luck!

No you can't. It's just a regular phone.It have only the basic options for a daily use.

Yes, most definetly all you have to do is set-up your new phone!! just call 611 on your Verizon handset and follow the promps and that's it. Its that simple!!! good-luck with your new phone.
