Without a credit history, you will most likely have to give Verizon a security deposit of up to $400/line. The deposit is refunded after 1 year of in full and on time payments.

You should try to have a credit app run. There used to be a program that didn't require a deposit but VZW could call you during your bill cycle to change your plan higher and/or request an early payment if your usage was expected to be high. It is always worth a shot. Go to the store with your state issued photo ID, SS Card and a proof of address.

Just go Prepaid why lock yourself in a contract? Prepaid service works just as great with much more freedom.

Albeit less support and fewer features as a postpaid More Everything plan, but still a good move for someone who yet has credit. Most of the Prepaid phones aren't bad, and can be reasonably priced given their specs.

You do not have to sign a 2 yr service contract to go post-paid. You can always go post-paid and STILL be a month to month customer just like pre-paid.

You still need to have a credit check to go month to month post-paid.

I never said you didn't, simply that you didn't have to sign a 2 yr service contract. In fact, earlier I stated without a credit history(or bad credit) they would most likely have to provide a security deposit.

Maybe I was confused trying to sneak in a few quick posts at work. Forgive me?

Is it urgent you have your own plan right now? Another option is to establish credit. Gotta start somewhere. My first credit card was from a national bank; limit $300. I used it regularly and paid it off as soon as it posted. It shouldn't take too long to establish credit; just buy gas on it and pay it off before the end of the month. Just don't go crazy.
