Do I have to activate a new phone before transferring contacts to it? I am using a previous phone as my new one while my old one is repaired.

No. You can setup the the phone on wifi without the SIM installed so the phone won't be activated until you install the SIM card.
I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.
