How to activate a pre-paid phone on post paid Verizon

[mobilefreedom]

I just called *228 and updated my prl on my broken phone (the screen is bad) then opened ws and read out the prl. I then took my new phone (5600) and tried to send my prl to the 5600 but it failed in ws. I've tried rebooting but nothing seems to work.

Verizon prepaid phones have had a policy of requiring six months on a prepaid plan before being allowed on a postpaid plan for a long time. A few postpaid Verizon coverage mvnos (Lucky Wireless for one) still allow Verizon prepaid phones despite the ban on other Byod Verizon carriers (like Page Plus).

There is no way around the six month rule other then 1)Breaking the law and doing the illegal esn crap that every cliched new mentions immediately.

2)Activate it and throw it in a box for six months.

3)Get lucky.

Some Verizon prepaid phones have been activated on postpaid without waiting. A call to Verizon CS might help.

Couldn't hurt, nothing else seems to work for your phone.
