it depends
What does it depend on?
It depends whAt company you have and if you are due for am upgrade
I would like to know if its possible to turn my verizon contract phone and switch it to a pre-pay??
Yes you can switch over to another company, but if you are currently in the middle of a contract at your current provider then you will most likely have to pay a fee for early cancelation.
Ring up your phone company and get them to exterminate the contract.
Most phone companies will charge you if you want to unlock your phone before your contract with them runs out. It has been part of the contract
It is usually not possible to transfer a contract phone into another person's name unless the contract time has expired. Once it has expired, the company that provides the service for the phone will perform a credit check on the person who wants to purchase your phone. If they pass the credit check, the company will write an entirely new contract for the other person.
Check your contract... I did it once and I think it was around $200 (Cingular)
It depends. If your contract has ended, it should cost you nothing to switch. If you're still in the middle of a contract period - your existing company will usually charge you for the unused months as a 'release fee'
Talk to your phone-company they will do it for you for a small fee.
A prepaid phone is a phone you pay for ahead of time and for every minute or text sent usually in a package format such as 200 minutes or 200 texts. A contract phone is a phone you pay the same for no matter what every month depending on the type of contract signed.
I am 99% percent sure you can only upgrade your phone 1 WEEK before the contract is up
A locked phone is a phone that is specific to a particular company. This means that if one were to switch companies that they would have to purchase a new phone rather than be able to use the existing phone. Some of the advantages of buying an unlocked phone is that it exempts one from signing a contract, and one can keep using the same phone even if they choose to switch companies. Another advantage is there are more options to choose from when purchasing an unlocked phone.
