Can you go to a Verizon store and buy a phone at full retail and use it on prepaid?

Question

As a current prepaid customer with a 3G iPhone 4, I was looking forward to July 17 to see exactly what Verizon was going to offer for prepaid in terms of 4G LTE. Some of the phones I like but was thinking of some other phones that Verizon offers their postpaid customers but not to prepaid. I wanted to know if I walk into a Verizon store and offered to buy any phone at full retail price, would they sell it to me knowing it would be used on prepaid? The phone I was interested in was the LG G3 but there may be others.

Answer 1

You would only need to trade in your current phone if you are still under contract AND eligible for the early edge offer. The early upgrade may be available if you have less than 1 yr to go on your contract.
If you are off-contract and eligible for an upgrade you can get a new phone on the Edge program (assuming you are eligible).
As to same-day phone - that still depends on if the phone you want is available or has to be ordered.
