Droid X Prepaid?

[mtuchris]

I'm pretty sure they wont let you activate a smartphone without a data plan so even if they let you activate it as prepaid you will probably have to pay for data anyway. I know for sure that any phone that originated on a postpaid plan cannot be activated on a prepaid plan until it is at least a year old. I would call your local verizon store and ask them to know for sure. They can also look up the phone by esn # to tell you how old the phone is if your friend doesn't know for sure.

Wow...so many answers that are totally not pertinent to the OP`s original question. What part of this are you, Sunny, not getting? He doesnt want to swap to Cricket or Page Plus...he just wants to know if he can activate and use the Droid X on hi already existing Verizon Pre-Paid account...

If you dont know the answer, and obviously you dont, you should probably stop trying to sell him on any other service. What, do you get a finders fee for each person you send to Kitty Wireless?

OP, why are you asking a forum when all you have to do is call Verizon and ask them..takes less than 5 minutes to get a 100% verified answer.

I had my samsung omnia i910 and droid 2 both on page plus cellular for over a year without having it on a data plan with verizon, I've heard of the one year rule, but I thought that applied to prepaid phones that were purchased with the prepaid plan, so you couldn't just buy a cheap prepaid phone ang month to month with a verizon plan vs prepaid verizon plan, either way its worth exploring since it doesn't cost anything to find out

Never really thought of it... Thanks though. I suppose I'll just have to have more common sense. Also, thanks for being the first to actually answer my question.

Thats great...but, thats not what the OP was asking for. In giving out these convoluted posts, all you wind up doing is muddying the waters. The OP asked a simple question about a Droid X and VZW Pre Paid account. He did not ask for alternate methods, alternate companies or any other ways of doing what he wanted.

Well, thanks for the heads up..in case someone else may need it down the road...

No problem. Wished I had a better answer. I would assume you could use the DX, but they will want to throw on some sort of Data/Internet plan since it is a smartphone...but the only way to know for sure is to call and ask. You "might" be able to get the phone activated without disclosing what the phone is, but I would be skeptical...good luck either way.

BTW, please post back with whatever results you get...I would be willing to drop my 5 line contract if I can save some cash by going pre-paid and still get to keep my DX...

No you can't activate a Droid X on Verizon prepaid.

Any other info? Why did they say no for example?
