You used to be able to buy a prepaid phone from Walmart and activate it on your Verizon contract. I bought dad a new LG from Walmart not too long ago and when I dialed *228 and option 3 to activate, it said that they werent able to activate the phone because it has to be active on a prepaid account for at least 6 months. I've always bought prepaid phones but now the Verizon system has caught up. I used to work for Verizon Wireless and I didnt have any problems until now.

∙ 14y agoYou just need to pay for the contract phone at full price. The reason why you need a contract is because phone companies subsidize your phone. They make sure the customers eventually will pay for the cost of the phone during the length of the contract. There is no such thing as a free lunch.
