I broke my cell phone

(1/1)

Gomboman:
I have a generic Samsung A670 (Verizon Wireless) that I bought about a year ago for about $50 with a new account. I dropped the phone and now it's trash--no insurance. I went to a local Verizon store and they want around $300 for similar phone that costs $50 with a new account. What a rip off.

Anyway, I found my same phone on ebay for around $20. Can I buy a used Verizon compatible phone and have it activated at a Verizon store? What a scam.......

MostlyLurkingGal:
Bummer! I did the same thing last year. I bought one on ebay and just activated over the internet. Didn't even have to go into a store. Just make sure it has all the things Verizon requires on a phone....If you are getting the same phone....FOR VERIZON USE....you shouldn't have any problems. Make sure the seller has good feedback! ;)

Gomboman:
MLG, very cool. I didn't know you could activate the phone yourself over the Internet.

MostlyLurkingGal:
To be perfectly honest with you, it was either over the internet, or by calling Customer service @ 1-800-922-0204 ...I can't remember now which I did :-[

I use a sim card phone, as long as any new phone I get is capable of excepting my sim card I can get any phone I want from ebay. The sim card stores all the cruicial data and your phone numbers and stuff to transfer to another phone. Call Verizon and ask what kind of phone you need, or re-up your contract with them for a free phone.
