Can I purchase a device with unused pre-paid minutes?

[geoB]

I have a large dollar amount (> $100) of unused minutes and would like to upgrade my device to some flavor of smartphone.  Can these dollars (which Verizon already has!) be used to purchase a new device?

Thnx.

No, money spent on minutes cannot be converted to money towards a new device.  You can transfer your minutes when activating a new device though.
