I ordered a Jitterbug phone for my Dad and activated it through "GreatCall". You can ask them at 1 (800) 733-6632.Good Luck!

Great call is no longer activating a "J" type phone. I called them and wanted to activate a 2nd "J" and was told yes for the active account users. Then after ordering one from Amazon, and contacting Great Call, was told that only "Plus" phones could be activated. Of course, that's another phone purchase! Now I am stuck with a $40. "J" that will be a fancy "paperweight". IF my "J" that I received years ago goes down, no repair or reactivation either. Just a new phone purchase. Good Luck!

Not to my knowledge. You should check with Best Buy or Radio Shack or someone who sells cell phones, but i believe you must buy that company's phone to activate and use it.

yes it can be activated with Verizon...fyi prepaid phones can also be activated through Verizon but they will try to tell you that you can't so you get into a contract.

My inspire came with an AT&T; contract but I believe you can activate it as a prepaid.

You are able to change the phone you are using anytime with no charge(same number) or add the phone to the contract with a different number

I was in the same situation. I broke my phone and they wouldn't give me contract pricing. Yes, you can activate the phone, and buy a new phone at contract pricing when your current contract expires. I wasn't charged any activation fee. Hope this helps.

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

you can always call verizon and ask if they can use it as a pre-paid im pretty sure they use the same numbers to activate. but i wouldn't know for sure i activated mine with my contract plan.

I was able to activate my phone under the verizon plan that I already had. You will have to have some sort of plan/contract in order to use the phone.

No contract means you don't have to sign a contract to buy it. I bought this and replaced my other phone without messing up my verizon contact.

I had it as a contract phone for several years up until a year ago. I got a new phone, but I could activate this phone again if I had to.

It takes you through a set up process were you have to activate the phone and one of the steps is your verizion payment. So no. After you activate at least once I think you could.

Your phone will not work for Verizon but the one you're trying to buy it should work without any problem activating it under Verizon network,

yes, then you can either take the phone to the verizon store or activate it over the phone or on the internet.

Yes, but after you receive it, you have to contact ring central tech support with the phone model etc. And they "activate" use of the phone on your account, can't just plug it in.

You should ask the specific seller that is offering the phone. That seller is the only one who will be able to answer those two questions. If they can't answer either, then I would ASSUME no.

Yes you can, just take it to your local verizon and let them know you would like to activate the phone. My husband loves it.
