Am I able to purchase a cell phone online and use it for an already existing account I have with Verizon?

Question

How do I go about this, if I'm able to do that?

Answer 1

First of all, lets clarify. Verizon phones don't have sim card so ignore the choices above.

It's still really easy though. Just make sure the phone is a Verizon phone, it has not been reported lost or stolen, and that it is GPS enabled (if the phone was purchased less than two years ago its GPS enabled for sure.) Its against the law to sell new GPS enabled phones.

If your buying from ebay, make sure the person has sold lots of profucts, so you don't have to worry about the lost/ stolen part.

Once you get the phone, just call customer service and give them the serial number located beneath the battery. It will say ESN right next to it. The representative will say thank you tell you to put the battery back in and press

*228 then
press 1

It will tell you to wait while it is programing.

Then it will say your done.

That's it

Don't worry they won't charge you, and it will take less than five minutes for the entire thing to complete.

Answer 2

heck yeah.. most definitely.. it's easy just change your sim card into your new phone... if it doesnt work .. there's another way of doing it. when you buy a phone that's not compatible with your sim card.. it's easy enought to take your sell phone to one of those corner cell phone repair place and they'll just unlock it... like for instance you like a certain phone from cingular that you like so much but can't end ur plan with verizon... unlocking ur phone would enable you to use any phone with any service...
but if you buy your phone online from verizon.. there shouldn't be a problem.. just change you sim from old phone and transfer it to the new one.
have fun with the new phone...

Answer 3

Most cellphone providers lock their phones to only be usable on their networks. If the phone you're buying isn't a Verizon-branded phone, it won't work on Verizon's network. You can however Google for "cellphone unlocking". Depending on the phone model you're thinking of buying, there may be a code you can enter to make it usable on any network.

Answer 4

Yes, just put the SIM card that is in your phone now into the one you purchase online.

Answer 5

La verdad es que no estoy muy buena con la orientación y he comprado de bastantes veces GPS de sitios web, de mano o de bicicleta siempre han estado de una excelente calidad así que después de comprar el coche la primera cosa que hice fue comprar un GPS en los sitios web, la marca ya lo tenía claro y el GPS que me ha llegado esta perfecto, con mapas actualizadas, 3D, nombres de calles correctas, simplemente perfecto.
