Prepaid without activation?

Here's a thought -

Could I purchase a brand new prepaid/inpulse phone (v276) and activate it
on my account? Would the phone still act as a prepay, meaning at a
minimum 99 cents per day?

Thanks.

No. The phone doesn't know it's a prepaid phone. All
that is part of the account.

-Quick

So this would work?

If anyone knows of definitive documentation (verizon rules/policies)
saying this will or will not work, please let me know.

It would be nice to have a phone with great reception and not have to
extend my contract to do so.

Thanks.

Okay , I had a friends who's phone was trashed. I bought him a used phone
on eBay , you could get yours anywhere. It was a phone used on verizon
network previously. He called verizon and had the phone activated on his
account. He was a year away from getting a new phone on his contract. He got
a newer phone and did not have to extend his plan.
I on the other hand have the old pre-pay plan for verizon , and have
never purchased a phone from them. The old Free-Up plan was great for people
that just needed a phone and didn't want a plan. Buy a thirty dollar card
and it was good for sixty days. That's fifteen dollars a month for a cell
phone.
