If you have Verizon and you upgrade your phone at Best Buy, you’ll have to pay a $30 activation fee . Buying an unlocked phone at retail price lets you bypass that $30 fee. The third reason has to do with resale value.
Can best buy activate my verizon phone?
You’ll have to have the rep in Best Buy call Verizon Wireless Customer Service to activate the phone, otherwise you are going to be unhappy when you get your next bill.
Best Buy can do it all . They are better than VZN Corporate anyway. Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later. Yes, Best Buy can activate it. However, if you are keeping a phone and adding a line to an existing phone, you will need to go to the Verizon store as Best Buy does not have sim cards to switch out.
I like the “walk out working” service they provide at best buy. 07-24-2012 03:15 PM As long as you don’t have unlimited data, your plan shouldn’t change if you don’t want it to . 07-24-2012 03:42 PM I already have unlimited data .
This of course begs the question “Why does Best Buy Ship my Device unactivated?”
My chosen answer was best Buy ships your device unactivated so your current service isn’t interrupted . This also creates an extra layer of protection similar to a credit card needing activation before use. When you complete your activation today, your device will have service with your carrier. Did this answer your question?
How much does it cost to add a device to Verizon?
Each device added or upgraded to your account will incur a Monthly Line Access Fee which may vary based upon your contract or device payment enrollment. Those customers Upgrading with a 2-Yr contract who have an Unlimited Data package will be enrolled in the Verizon 2GB Data Plan for that line for $30/month .
To properly activate the new device on the network, ensure both phones are powered down . If necessary, insert the SIM card into the new phone. Turn the new phone on then follow the on-screen Setup Wizard instructions to activate and set up your new phone.
