Prepaid to Contract???


I recently broke my phone and need to purchase a new one. The thing is I don't really want to buy one from verizon since they are pretty pricey! My question is that If I were to buy a verizon pre-paid phone from some place such as wal-mart and not activate it as a pre-paid but instead enter the ESN # and put it on my current contract would it work?

Be careful when buying off email. Always ask for the ESN Hex/Dec or MEID # and call into customer service to make sure the phone as not been reported lost/stolen, else wise you will not be able to activate it.

Absolutely! In fact, many auctions I have seen on eBay actually include the ESN for informational purposes. It is just like anything else you would buy from eBay, make sure you trust the seller.

On a daily basis there are 1000's of auctions for Verizon phones, and for the most part, the sellers are legit. However, any time you present a money making opportunity like that, someone will always stink it up.

Re: Prepaid to Contract???


Don't forget on EBay you also have the opportunity to email the seller and ask them questions about the item for sale.
