can you use it on an existing plan without having to add a line? i.e. replace a phone already on the plan keeping the same niumber (not an upgrade)?

Yes you can u just take the phone to sprint and tell u want to use this phone instead of the one u are currently using u could even just call them just tell them that u just want to use this phone keeping the same number now if u have a smart phone that u are using ur plan will probably need to change

I think you are able to this. I bought my on-line and replace the one I had with my plan (As long as you have paid the plan phone). I don't think you will have a problem switching phone as long they are for the same provider (i.e. Sprint to Sprint etc). Hope this helps, but the best way to be sure is to contact your service provider and ask.

You can have the phone swapped but they might charge you an activation fee.

Yes, you can. I did it for my daughter when she lost her phone and it worked out well.

As long as you stay with sprint you can update your plan you do not have to add line and you can keep your your number if you are coming from a different company probably not because sprint is on a whole different system you would have to check that with sprint,ifyou are on sprint now and want to leave, your lotus will not work with other system.I had to get whole new phone to change service with different company

Yes! You just take it to your cell phone carrier and have them change it over. Make sure the phone you purchase has the same carrier as you use or it won't work. Enjoy!

You can transfer your existing number or get a new one. They gave me one with my current area code. Not sure if you can pick the area code. I would call them BEFORE you decide to activate anything because it's non-refundable. Also, get ready to be frustrated. Their customer service is terrible.

I took mine out of my iphone 3gs and used with no problems. also switched back and forth with no problems. no extra plan needed, unless you have to add data, etc.

I checked with Verizon and Jodie is correct. If you had both this and your contract phones for 6 months, then wanted to use this one on your contract (or regular account after contract ends), you could then switch it over. The prepaid is about as cheap as my new plan on Verizon (unlimited talk, unlimited text, 250M data), so I'll keep my plan as long as the current phone works and just switch over to prepaid and this phone with my number at that time.

It comes without a data plan and I purchased it to replace my phone that broke, but for which my plan still hadn't run its course until I could get an upgrade. It came with directions to fire it up on my pre-existing plan that I was replacing my broken phone from.

No, i do not think you can use with prepaid. The reason for it being no contract is so you don't have to start a new contract with Verizon but continue with one you already have.

Yes, this phone can be used on your existing Verizon contract. I just had to go to the Verizon store and have one of the sales reps there program it for me and move all my contacts from my old phone to the new phone. Took only a few minutes for him to do and didn't cost me a thing.

I added a line to my current plan with verizon for my daughter using the phone. I am not sure if it can be used as a prepaid phone but I know for sure it can be used with regular monthly service plans. Hope this helps!

Verizon rep told me that I don't need a data plan for it. I'm replacing a phone without a data plan.Perhaps other people are replacing phones that were under contract with a data plan, so they would still have to keep the plan until their obligation is over?

Yes, you can. That's what I did. I just stuck my existing SIM card from my non-smart phone and my plan remained the same (10 cents/min only). I also turned off the Data setting to ensure my phone never attempts to use Data.

Yes you can add it to your account without an upgrade because you already own the phone
2160597
Taylor,Yes you can. I have this phone and I have Verizon for a provider. I do not have a data plan. When I purchased this phone I just had them attach it to my old plan.

you can use it for minutes, yes. you cannot, however, add this phone to a line with an existing number.

but that doesn't make sense. why would they offer a option to upgrade (existing service) if you can't keep your old number?...isn't that just like starting new service? why would keeping your Verizon number not be considered "porting" and thus not void the rebate? doesn't sound right. maybe the csr got his/hers info crossed.

If you have a SIM card from your previous phone, you should just be able to insert it and go-same number the original phone had. With no SIM card, you do need to go to Verizon for them to activate it but there usually isn't a charge.

Yes you can, in fact! All you have to do is call TracFone and follow the step-by-step instructions provided over the phone and everything should be fine with keeping the existing phone number.

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