Replace broken Alltel phone and NOT extend old Alltel contract and NOT change to Verizon plan?

Hi,
Can I get a replacement phone without extending the contract?
I've read here that I can change to a Verizon phone without changing my old Alltel plan--many thanks to previous posters and answerers for this info!-- and I've been hanging fire on any changes since my original Alltel two-year contract ends in just three months this coming April. However, now I've broken my phone (old Alltel Motorola) and have to do something. Hence my question: Can I get a replacement phone without extending the contract? I don't need anything at all fancy, just for calls. No smartphone, no texting, no web. Just calls.
tia!

If you want a short term replacement, you may want to look on Ebay for an Alltel phone. Problem with that is there are too many flavors of Alltel now. So you could get an Alltel phone that VZW would not recognize. Or pick up an old VZW phone from a friend. Call VZW to make the the ESN is clear.
As long as you get a simple phone, If you call into *228 or change the ESN online, you should be able to make the change without someone demanding you change plans.

Same thing happened to me, nothing is working. I've updated everything, restarted everything, nothing seems to work.

I'm trying to replace a missing font and apparently it's a graphic. It's not letting me replace with another font and click change. I can't export until it's fixed and I need to fix / bypass as soon as possible.

Go find the graphic in question, and open it in its native program. The problem will have to be fixed there.

Why does Verizon charge me $30 to buy a new phone and renew my two year plan?

Why does Verizon charge me $30 to buy a new phone and renew my two year plan? That seems counter-intelligent in a day where other carriers are begging for my business. I've been a customer for 10 years but am considering switching on principle.

I'm sending my bill in exchange for a provided service. The activation fee is garbage, and IMO, if smaller carriers can live without it (because they are), Verizon doesn't need to charge it. Frankly, I'm tired of people settling because "The fee isn't going away." If you agree with it, so be it, but you're the minority.
You are correct, just because other people do it, doesn't make it right. It also "doesn't make it wrong".
Verizon has chosen a price they charge for providing a service. Part of that price is an "upgrade" fee if you choose to purchase a phone at a ~$400 discount. ALL this is doing is lowering the amount of discount on the phone. It is, however, the price Verizon has set to provide their service. You are paying it in exchange for that provided service. You may not agree with it, that is your choice and are free to go elsewhere. If you are in the position to pay this "upgrade" fee, you are NOT under contract and are free to change without penalty. Your choice. If you pay it, you have made your choice.
Yes, other "smaller carriers" can live without it because they are forced to, not because they "want" to or because it is "right". They have to have some sort of incentive to attract customers. The bigger carriers do this by providing a larger footprint for their service. Smaller carriers cannot do so and have to resort to other methods. Lower price is one of those. There are trade-offs in life. Choose your trade-offs. I prefer to pay a slightly higher price for more reliable service. I have been with several providers in the past, Verizon provides me the most reliable service of those I have tried.

I have an IPhone 4s and am getting an IPad Mini. Do I have to change my Verizon plan in any way to include the IPad? After all I already have the phone number.

Gina your post was very helpful to me as well. I recently Traded In my Apple IPad 3 WIFI Only Device for a Verizon Wireless Apple IPad Mini Pre-Order. This is actually my very first WIFI + Cellular IPad Purchase. The Price was Finally Affordable.

Phone Upgrade Date Extended in Mid-Contract

OK, I know I'm searching for an answer I'll never have answered, I get it. Verizon can and will do whatever they want. There is latitude when you're the big dog. Woof on the little guys. Or customers, because there are always more of them.
We're four months away from our contract renewal date. We're smartphone users, and are adding our two kids to the account in the coming months. Once we add the kids, we're probably worth a total of $220 - $230 per month to Verizon, so we're not important at all. Again, I get it.
For the first 16 months of our current contract, like those of you who renewed at about the same time, we're were dangled a November 2013 phone upgrade date. 20 months, as has always been the Verizon customer retention strategy. As you all know, that got changed. In mid contract period.
Again, I get it. You changed it because legally you could. But, why? Don't give me the standard line I've heard a thousand times, that to bring the phone upgrade date in line with the contract renewal date makes sense. I don't care if it makes sense. It's wrong to change what you've been offering contracted long-term clients for over a year simply because you can. Go ahead and change it if/when we renew again, of make it clear to new clients as they sign up for another two years. But to change it mid-contract on customers you've had for more than 10 years, like us, is slapping us in the face. Ha ha, we did this because we could, we made a little extra money off of you, and you can't do anything about it.
Marketing retention strategy discussions, like the one that had to be held before Verizon made this call, are fascinating events. You know someone in that room was saying, "uh, guys, this may not be a wise idea"... but then again, maybe not.
I guess time will tell. In our geographic region, ATT and T-Mobile have just expanded their 4G coverage to cover what Verizon used to have all by themselves. In March we'll decide who to go with.
But then again, we're just little guys. Who up until now have been at the mercy of the big dog. Woof.
There. I feel better now.

Nice responses, all, and thank you. I guess it's good to know you're not entirely alone, even if for something as hopefully-far-down-the-list-of-important-stuff as a cell phone contract.
OK, I work in marketing. Which is why this whole scenario is so interesting to me. I have an attorney next to me who was laughing at me for taking time to vent, even though he admits - and this is for you, Ann154 - companies do get successfully sued all the time for extending offers in writing (on the web, or in print, as does apply in this case) that go beyond the scope of the original written contract. Verizon is simply betting that no one will care enough to do so. And I guess they've been right, and soon, it will all be irrelevant. Again, the big dog woofs.
And to Jonathan at Verizon - thanks for reaffirming the most fundamental and age-old marketing rule - when you know you can't really respond, always fall back to the company boilerplate statement. It will work more times than not for most. I tell my clients the same thing all the time.
But all of this is still bugging me. Which means as a marketer I'm probably developing a conscious. Which means I better find a new career soon.

Passcode the same for all phones if not changed?

I just upgraded my iphone 4s to 6plus. i assumed my passcode would remain the same. its not. now I am locked out of the 6plus. I initially used the fingerprint option and now can't get into the phone. Why would the passcode not work on all phones with the same phone number? frustrating.

The passcode is set up individually on each device. If you enabled Touch ID, you had to enter a passcode. If you do not remember the passcode, you will have to restore the iPhone as new first, then you can restore your backup, if you have made one. See this support document for forgotten passcode. iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled

Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then see if you can redownload your past music purchases (those that are still in the store) via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you are not in a country where music can currently be re-downloaded, then have you not got it on your computer and/or on a backup ? If not then you can try contacting iTunes support and see if they will grant you a re-download : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
