How can I find out if the Samsung rugby II will work with my plan?

0frills

I want, no...NEED a new phone.  My old one is completely worn out.  I really like the Samsung Rugby II because it's very durable and I'm quite clumsy.  I see that the phone works on AT&T, but am unsure if it works on Verizon.  Upgrading through Verizon is really not an option I want to pursue because I am tired of being tethered to Verizon for another 2 years.  Seems like anytime I change ANYthing I have to consent to another 2 year commitment.  Been there too many times.  So, bottom line is I need a new phone, want to buy it myself and activate it without signing a new contract.  Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hello ofrills

The Samsung Rugby II unfortunately doesn't work on our network. It is set up to work only on AT&T's technology. The good news is we have several durable phones available. You can purchase a Verizon device and activate it on your line without a contract.

Here's an example: if your friend had a Verizon device that wasn't activated on a line. You could activate it under your telephone number without a contract extension. If you bought a Verizon device from a third party we could also activate it on your line for you.

Here's a link to our certified pre own device without a 2 year contract: http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/controller?item=phoneFirst&action=viewAllPhones&deviceCategoryId=5

Please keep in mind signing a two year contract with us will greatly reduce the price of your new device. That time goes by very quickly. We have the best network and an awesome selection of phones!

Thank you
