Can I change my contract phone (contract exspired) to a prepaid phone

I bought a used Verizon GL Envy 3 Postpay contract phone.  THe phone is now without contract.  I was told I can switch it over to a prepaid phone, but when calling Verizon they told me I could not.  I have friends that have done this, so I know it can be done. 
THe ESN is clear, I had it checked.  Does anyone know about how to get this done?
Thanks

If the phone requires a data package on postpaid service (basically if it falls into the 3GMM or smartphone categories), then it cannot be activated on pre-paid service.  The enV3 requires a data package because it is a 3GMM phone, so it cannot be used on prepaid.

    No. Apple does not do trade-ins of any kind. Sell your 4S & use the money towards an iPhone 5.

  • How can I change my I Phone's name so that I can integrate with I Cloud?

    How can I change my I Phone's name so that I can integrate with I Cloud? I initially gave my IPhone my Apple Id as name and when I upgraded to Lion and joined I Cloud I could not sync my MAIL because my .ME account was not the same as my Apple Id. Now I have I Cloud but can not sync my mail. My Apple Id is my work e-mail and very important to me. My I Phone was working great, not without some glitches, but great.

    Go on to settings> Messages > send and receive
    this should give you the opportunity to edit email adressed
    Hope it helps.

  • How can I change keychain linked phone number because I cannot access account

    How can I change keychain linked phone number because I cannot access account

    How do I set up iCloud Keychain on a new device if I don't have one of my other devices to approve from?
    If you don't have access to any of your other devices that are using iCloud Keychain, you can still set up iCloud Keychain on another device if you have these items:
    Your iCloud Security Code
    The device that is using the SMS-capable phone number you provided when you first set up iCloud Keychain. A verification code is sent via SMS to this phone number. If you don't have access to this number, contact Apple Support, who can verify your identity so that you can complete setup on your new device.
    If you have these items, follow the iCloud Keychain setup steps documented above. Your iCloud Keychain will then be pushed from the cloud to the new device.

  • How can I change a contract from one family line to another?

    I have a 5 line family plan.  I lost my job months ago and have to cut expenses.  I want to keep a phone number that is no longer under contract and shut off one that is still under contract.  Can I switch the contract to the other phone number? 

    Sue, Verizon won't let you do what you want you, PERIOD. Verizon won't change contract dates.
    HOWEVER, there is an EASY way to accomplish what you want to do. Since the number you want to keep is free of contract, you can port-out the number temporarily without ETF, and a few days after the port-out, you can port-in the number to replace the number that has the contract. End result: Exactly what you want to do.
    Go to Sears/ Walmart / Best Buy and buy a cheap $5 / $10 Tracfone. Activate the Tracfone and port-in your number (one without contract) from Verizon on the Tracfone service. Once the  porting is done, your number will work on the Tracfone. Wait a few days. Then initiate a port-in YOUR number on one of the existing verizon lines. There are no charge to port in or out.

  • Can I change to a phone someone gave me?

    I have recently broken the screen on my Samsung Intensity AGAIN and a friend gave me an LG enV? Can I switch to this phone even if my upgrade is a year away and will it cost me anything?

    As long as this is a Verizon phone, and your friend's account is current with Verizon, you should have no problem with activating this phone on your account. It should not cost you anything to activate it.

  • Can I change the default phone number format?

    I a new BB user and have so much to learn!  I got a Storm (bad choice) 6 weeks ago and thought BBs were ridiculous.  Then I got the Tour and am pobably converted for life.
    In my contacts, most of my phone numbers show up as 4395551234 which is hard to read.  I have some others that show (439) 555-1234.  I have added dashes to some numbers to make them easier to see.  Is there anyway to change the option so numbers are automatically displayed in a certain format?  And why would some be different than others? I can't figure out a reason some are changed.  
    BTW, I am a devoted Mac user and love the new Desktop Software.

    It is one of the great mysteries of BBdom why users must look at a long string of 10 digits on an incoming call notification instead of having them broken down into more readable form.  Truly bizarre.

    How can I change my messaging phone number on my I pod touch 5 th generation

    The iPod only has a phone number for Settings>Messages>Send and Receive if the the Apple ID used their is also used on an iPhone. Thus, the only way to get another phone number on the iPad is to get another iPhone/change the phone number on the existing iPhne) and use the same ID on that and then log out of Messages and log back in.

  • Can I change my family plan to the month to month plan prior to my contract end date and still use the same phone without an etf

    can I change my family plan to the month to month plan prior to my contract end date and still use the same phone without an etf

        Great question dreyfusdad !
    I understand it’s always good to be aware of the changes once your contract is completed and I’m happy to help you. You can log into My Verizon to view the contract end date. Tikibar1, thank you for pointing in the right direction; it will automatically continue to bill you as usual, but it will be on a month to month basis. It will keep you on a post paid account; however, if you wanted to transfer to a Prepaid account the process may be different. We’d love the opportunity to review your account for the best plan for you. Please let us know if we can help you with that.

  • How can I change my Pay As You Go number to my new Pay Monthly contract, please?

    Hello, Just yesterday I activated my new EE Pay Monthly contract/plan. I got a new number with it.I would like to keep my old number, which I got with my EE Pay As You Go plan. How can I change the number, please? Thanks and kind regards,Andy

    
    You have three options available.
    Speak to the upgrades and retentions department.
    Go into a EE store.
    Go through a third party, like Carphone Warehouse for example.
    If you know which PAYM SIM you would like, going into store would be the easiest option. You will be given a new PAYM SIM and your number will be moved from PAYG to PAYM within 24 hours. However, the only downside to this is; you can not cancel if you change your mind.
    However, you can cancel within 14 days if you change your mind and you have upgraded over the phone. You will have to wait for the SIM to be delivered through the post.
