If i buy a phone listed as a "No Contract Verizon Cell Phone" on a site like Amazon.com, would i be able to activate that phone on my current Family Share plan on my existing line? My Verizon says i'm eligible for upgrade... sometime later, but does that mean i can't activate a new device to replace my current one until i'm actually eligible for an upgrade? When i go through Verizon's site looking at getting a phone at retail price, it says something under the button to add to cart about a fee for breaking contract or something. I'm not exactly sure how the 2yr contracts work in relation to hardware, i thought they were just for the services being provided, or does adding a more advanced device constitute changing the services enough to require a new contract, therefore breaching the current contract? I didn't think about it at first, but decided to try to look it up just in case, and the only discussion i found on a similar subject seemed to indicate that there would be an issue in adding a device like that, but that was for a "prepaid phone", and i'm not sure if that's the same as "no contract phone". I'm looking at getting a 4g lte phone (which i know i need to get a sim card for) to upgrade from my current non-smartphone, so i figure this might actually be an issue i should look into before dropping hundreds of dollars on a phone i might not be able to use without possibly spending another few hundred dollars in penalty fees. I'm sorry for being kinda wordy.
