Verizon Prepaid Number Portability and Converting to Post Paid

1. Are verizon prepaid numbers portable? I don't plan on leaving verizon, but if I did, would I be able to keep the number?
2. Can I convert my account to a post paid account at a later time? Will I be able to keep the same number?
3. If I move to a different area, will I be able to keep the same number, or will I be forced to get a new number with a different area code?
4. I'm on the 99 cent plan for each day I use my phone. If I buy the messaging bundle, and use messaging but do not make any calls on a day, am I still charged the 99 cents for the day? Or is the 99 cents just for days I make calls?

Yes you can always take your number with you.
2. Can I convert my account to a post paid account at a later time? Will I be able to keep the same number?
Yes after having a prepaid account for 6 months you can convert it over to a contract account and keep your number.
3. If I move to a different area, will I be able to keep the same number, or will I be forced to get a new number with a different area code?
As long as your in the Verizon calling area you can keep your number
4. I'm on the 99 cent plan for each day I use my phone. If I buy the messaging bundle, and use messaging but do not make any calls on a day, am I still charged the 99 cents for the day? Or is the 99 cents just for days I make calls?
No you are not charged for texting you are only charged the 99 cents when you make a call or answer a call. So if you text every day but do not make any calls you are not charged for the 99 cents.

Can I port my number if switching from a post-paid to a pre-paid and back to a post-paid?

This is a little convoluted, so I'll use bullet points.
1) I am currently on a family plan that is paid for by my former employer. I need to leave that plan by the end of this month.
2) I would like to port the number from this plan to a pre-paid plan on Verizon for 2 months.
3) After 2 months, I would like to port the same number back to a post-paid plan.
Is this possible? I understand I'll have to downgrade to a 3G phone for that time.
The only reason I want to do it this way is I want the new iPhone in October and if I sign a 2-year contract tomorrow, I won't be able to buy a new phone, right?
Or is the new phone not tied to when you start your contract, but rather to the last time you purchased a new phone? If that's the case, can I port my number to a new contract, use my old phone and buy the new one in October at the subsidized rate?
Thanks very much in advance!

Well I think you can get the best answers if you walk into a VZW store. But to my knowledge, you will be able to convert your existing number and start a prepaid plan. Then once you have the prepaid plan, I believe it must be on the Prepaid account six months before you can convert it back to a contract account.
And as for the new phone, as long as you start your new contract with your existing phone, you should be able to get the new iPhone in october at the the discounted rate, the same rate you would get if starting a new contract.

How do I port my Verizon Prepaid number to a new Verizon contract?

Right now I have the $35 prepaid plan and I'd like to update to a Maxx HD, which is up on Amazon for $20 with a new contract. However, the Amazon page is telling me that my number is not transferable. I don't know what to do here, can someone help?

I am considering a new post pay account, that was exactly the point of my original post. As I said before, i went to amazon.com, selected a phone, selected a new verizon plan, and put in my current number for a port request (which is with verizon prepaid). Amazon's website informed me that my number cannot be ported, and I don't understand why. So, to recap:
What I have:
>a prepaid phone with verizon
>a number that I want to keep
What I want:
>a postpaid account with verizon
>a razr maxx hd
>my phone number
My question:
Why is amazon telling me that my number cannot be ported, when I am going from one plan to another on the same carrier?

Download an Apple mail lists and converting the post to emlx files

Hello,
its about to get, on the Apple mail lists, posts and converting those to emlx files.
Does someone has experience with this, or is there any tool or script already on the web to do that?
Thanks in advance

The directory layout is pretty simple. You could use wget to grab it all and work on it at leisure. Use Perl scripts to walk through the directories. For the HTML itself, you could use Perl or something like tagsoup to make sense out of it. I suggest just outputting the result into a plain old mbox format and let Apple Mail do the work to convert it into emlx.

Once those ten attempts have been expended, the device can ONLY be unlocked by the factory, by sending the device to RIM for work, at your expense.

We bought a new prepaid phone on 10/5/14 at a Verizon store had an existing phone number transfered and the phone can not be activate. When will the system be updated? We have lost 2 days of service.

We bought a new prepaid phone on 10/5/14 at a Verizon store. Had an existing phone number transfered and the phone can not be activatde. When will the system be updated? We have lost 2 days of service and now cannot use the original phone due to moving service to Verizon.

The exact same thing has happened to me! The customer service reps keep saying there is nothing they can do until their system upgrades are complete and they can't tell me when that will be! I need my phone number back!!! Somebody please help with this issue!

How do I import an existing cell number to SAMSUNG GUSTO 3 - Verizon Prepaid? What number do I call? Do I activate first and then request the import via the new Verizon (not wanted cell number)?

The enclosed ACTIVATION & USE MANUAL is very limited. It only tells you how to activate the phone after inputting a zip code. On the web there are many contact numbers for customer service but ALL REQUIRE a Verizon cell number.

A friend I know had this issue and was told to activate the phone first and then call *611. You also can dial from any other phone this number 1 888 294 6804 and choose 1. They both can handle the tranfer without any problem.

Where can I obtain my account number? I am a Verizon prepaid moto g user. Thank you

Where can I obtain my account number? I am a Verizon prepaid moto g user. I need to verify my account number and my PIN/password.
Thank you

You need to call the prepaid customer service number and ask them. It should be *611 from your phone.

How to find out my verizon account number and pass code?

Recently I tried to port one Verizon prepaid cellphone number to another carrier. During the porting the carrier asked me to provide the Verizon account number and pass code. How can I get this info?
Thanks.

Just as SuzyQ stated, Verizon Prepaid account numbers should be your mobile number, and as for the passcode, unless changed should be the last 4 digits of your mobile number. If you need more assistance give customer service a call.

Hey I got my phone stolen yesterday, but it was dead for 24 hours before i checked find my phone so it says offline. I called verizon suspended my service and they said if the person tried to sell it back, or put their number on it, it will get flagged. I

Hey I got my phone stolen yesterday, but it was dead for 24 hours before i checked find my phone so it says offline. I called verizon suspended my service and they said if the person tried to sell it back, or put their number on it, it will get flagged. I was just wondering if i should reinstate my service and try and wait for it to turn back on and then go get it because you need internet for it to track and with the suspended service, it can only track if connected to wifi, but they wont get past my password.

New number of posts bug(?) + question; no #100, and total # of posts vary

New number of posts bug(?) + question; no number 100, and total number of posts vary
Intrigued by Tuttle's new attempt to join Niel's old habit to keep his own total number of posts count, I went and start counting my posts since the New Discussions. Because I saved my latest Old Discussions Post-and-Points info, I can see what are the previously-still-online ones (the pre- 14-Nov-2005 01:31 GMT ones), and I know exactly what was my "real" total number of posts before 14-Nov-2005 (2446).
My New Discussions posts number however, is quite uncertain.
Firstly, when I use the "My Posts" link on the right, then clicking on and on on the "Next" link,
my "Viewing 91-100 of 586 -- Pages" shows 91-99 instead of 91-100
(= should show 10 posts, shows 9 posts)
then I go on clicking Next Next Next, and I see the same missing counts happen elsewhere:
my posts number 100, 259, 260, 370, 390, 520, 558, 559, 560, 578, 579, and 580 are missing too.
Note that I wouldn't bother doing all this, and I would have thought it's just very old posts that are automatically deleted like in the Old Discussions,
BUT,
the problem is that when I choose to see all my posts together on the same page
(by using the start=0&range=600 suffix in the URL)
I get a total number of posts that is different (570).
A third way to quickly see all posts without having to load too big page
(using the start=0&range=300 suffix in the URL then only one "Next" click)
shows yet another, different again, number of total posts (573).
And my "official" total number of posts is (586).
Dear HOSTS,
- If this can be used as a bug report to fix a counting problem, glad to help.
- If there is no bug, I have two(+) questions then:
1) Was my post number 100 deleted?
(should be around 27-Nov-2005 18:00 GMT)
Also:
I thought the Total Posts number that we see in "My Public Profile" or under the avatar in each post (586), was only the number of posts still online.
- if it is the case, then there are no automatically deleted old posts anymore?
- if old posts are automatically deleted like before, this number should vary?
- if it doesn't vary (it just grows by one per new post), AND at the same time old posts are actually automatically deleted,
it has to show the "real" total number of posts then,
(as it is now, a total starting from the Old-Discussions-still-online-posts, it makes no sense),
that is,
the total posts in the New Discussions PLUS the total posts since first registration in the Old Discussions.
So,
2) What does it show exactly?
Thanks again for all the great work!
Axl
220? 221?

Thank you Andreas,
Your confirmation about the "post #100 bug" does help.
"As for your other missing posts - I guess Tuttle's assessment that they might be deleted is probably right..."
Yes, that makes sense and that's what I'm trying to figure in my OP, but then,
after I posted my "#221/2667 post" (11-Dec-2005 21:51 GMT), my originally missing #
259, 260, 370, 390, 520, 558, 559, 560, 578, 579, and 580
should have become
260, 261, 371, 391, 521, 559, 560, 561, 579, 580, and 581
right? (forget the #100: this one we know for sure it's a bug)
Or if the software counts them from the first (now that would have been a good start) instead of starting from the most recent,
they should become
258, 259, 369, 389, 519, 557, 558, 559, 577, 578, and 579
Well, that's not what happened. Now the missing # are
259, 260, 370, 390, 400, 520, 559, 560, 570, 579, and 580
(in addition to the same #100) (#558 and 578 not missing anymore).
As you can see, there is no logic:
It doesn't work as a simple numerotation of StillOnlinePosts, no matter the order
(otherwise there would simply be a straight count from 1 to 575 (=587-12).
It looks indeed like it shows which old posts are being automatically deleted. That the numbers are quite the same would simply show that the old posts dates were so close, of course they are deleted (six months later) almost at the same time,
BUT,
if it was the case, there would never be LESS deleted posts between two StillOnlinePosts, like it happens for example between my StillOnlinePosts #557 and #561.
Please note: of course I stick to the same method to make all my counts. Not manually modifying the URL, just using the default Next-Next-Next- clicking...
Modifying URL would add yet more differences in the differences!..
Dear Hosts,
Too bad it doesn't help looking yourself at my "My Posts", as everything changes each time I'm adding a reply somewhere.
Perhaps a good way to troubleshoot this would be to start from a very simple basis:
--> "name" the posts with a number, starting from the oldest.
This way, for example my "#1" post (11-Dec-2005 21:51 GMT in this thread) would be named "221" in the New Discussions, or "2667" if you start from my Registration date.
At the moment, it is very difficult to figure what fault comes from the "#100 post bug" and what fault comes from another possible counting bug...
Then the New Discussions "fluctuating" refreshing delay too, possibly messes the counts...
Thanks!

You can't use a $35 card on that type of phone.

Verizon Prepaid - questions about not paying on time

961
i'm a bit short on cash.
I have the verizon prepaid Unlimited plan on my Droid X2, which is unlimited text and data, which they don't offer anymore.
I'm a bit short on cash this month, and i know i can do without my phone for a week.
My payment of $95 is due on the 26th of each month, and i wont get paid til the 1st, which is a week later.
Will my phone still be able to be paid and activated again?
I've read something about I have 90 days to pay it to get it back on, and keep the same number.
Do they charge a reactivation fee type thing?
I've been a contract holder for about 6 years now with verizon, and finally got out of that, so i'm new to all this pre paid stuff.
thanks

You probally don't need this info anymore based on your post, but for anyone else who reads it, here the skinny
Even on the grandfathered prepaid monthly plans, you still have an expiration date based on your last largest payment, The plan you were on was $95 a month, so in your case, your last payment, last month, means you have 6 months of that account being active, and Verizon will not change your price plan without permission. So even if you didn't pay till Christmas, you would still have the number active with the grandfathered plan on it.

Transfer number from post-paid to pre-paid.

After many hours spent with many different verizon people, i finally managed to switch my postpaid plan with a broken phone to a prepaid plan with a functional phone without changing my phone number. however, in order to complete the transaction, the associate deleted my postpaid account and began the prepaid account as if i was a new customer. this means that i have lost all of my contacts which were backed up through backup assistant, as well as the photos i had uploaded to the verizon media thing, and any texts and/or voicemails sent to my phone in the 10 days it wasn't working.
is there any way to merge the new account with the old account? what about the contacts i had stored in backup assistant? please help.

ajamba, We apologize for the hassle with getting the prepaid phone activated. Were you trying to keep your old phone number? Was the post paid account still under a contract?
