does anyone know how much the fee is on a new verizon plan? i can deal with the $50/month but i dont wanna get screw'd on the activation fee.

[White99stang]

if you have decent credit then you will not have to pay one

[White99stang]

oh nevermind, i just realized what you said i think its 35 bucks. They just add it to the first bill i think

[graystang01]

ok i can deal with that... i thought i was gonna get ass raped like every other company tries to do

[weems]

you also have to pay two months in advance, and if you dont have any credit you have to pay a 400 dollar deposit.

[graystang01]

damn... i dont have 400.

[White99stang]

i think all that depends on your credit, cause i just cancelled my alltel account and went and got me and my wife new phones from verizon and they waived both phones activation fee's, and then we just paid for our phones, no deposit, and then didn't have to pay a single other thing until our first bill which was only 148 bucks. We didn't have to pay 2 months up front

[graystang01]

i dont have credit either... i have a feelin im gonna get fucked. my parents are cuttin off our cell phones and i need a phone for all the runnin around ill be doin this summer

[White99stang]

then you might be fucked, but if you ask them you might get them to split up the deposit into 4 payments maybe. It all just depends on who you are talking to at a verizon store. The lady i talked to hooked me up big time, even got all my old numbers transfered from my alltel phone to the new phone for free and thats supposed to be 20 bucks for each phone

[graystang01]

i guess ill be makin another 20 minute trip to town to talk to these people but i was headed that way with my girlfriend tomorrow so she could get shoes

$20 to activate a phone.

Do you already have verizon?

Do you have credit?

What phone are you looking at?

Deposit depends on if your credit. Some companies it used to be $800-$1000 deposit before starting your own plan.

If you have any credit at all chances are you wont have a deposit. Just make sure that credit you have is good credit, but usually the deposit is about $400.

[graystang01]

thats my problem... i dont have credit

[Cricket]

Then your going to need to put a deposit down. they won't let you around that. It's in the system, and does it automatically.

[graystang01]

dammit... i guess i can put it in my moms name

[Cricket]

Put it in your moms name, and have her add you as full access on the account, get a little bit of credit, and do an assumption of liability that way it will be your account, and in your name, and with credit when you do the aol you won't have to put a deposit down.

[graystang01]

thanx man
you have been so much help on this

[Cricket]

it's no problem man.
