Is this a prepaid phone or can I just activate it with my already existing Verizon account?

The phone that I bought was not pre-paid and I added it to my plan. Many different companies sell Verizon phones on Amazon. You must check to make sure that the phone that you are buying is not a pre-paid phone. If it is, you have wasted your money if your goal is to add it to an existing Verizon plan.

you can activate the phone on your own, it's easy. or you can always go to VERIZON, there is no charge. whatever is more comfortable, i've done both in the past....

I bought this phone a few months ago and already had a data plan from verizon. When I got the phone I just called verizon to have them help me activate it

It's not a prepaid phone. Is UNLOCKED- which means that this phone can be used as a replacemant phone for under contract, or as a prepaid phone. IN bouth cases you will need the SIM card : An used sim card if you do have previous contract or a New sim card that you dont have one, and you can buy for $10 prepaid near you. Its a good mobile but it does not come with a sim card.

This is not a prepaid phone. You may be able to do that if you contact Verizon, but probably not. I would not recommend buying this phone anyways as seen in my 1 star review...

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.

As far as I am aware, from my experience with it, this phone is only for Verizon use. All I had to do when I owned one was to activate it by calling the number and putting in my Verizon info. It took no more than five mins!

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.

The phone can be a prepaid. When I bought it it had been used with Vodaphone, Verizon's prepaid phone service. My particular phone is limited to networks, prepaid or not, that use Verizon's towers.

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

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.

I am unsure. However, I have had Verizon for a while and they have said after my contract I can go to prepaid with the same phone.

This is not being sold as prepaid. Only a call to Verizon can tell you for sure. The term "no contract" in this case means only that we do not supply service only the phone.

Not sure if it can be used as a prepaid phone, but you can use this phone with Verizon without having to get a contract with them.

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)
