Can I use Share Name ID on a prepaid account?  When attempting to activate the site says "We are unable to process your request at this time. Please try again later."  Thanks

Tried calling the prepaid team several times... there are no menu options in the automated system that address my concern, and each time I would press 0 to try to get an actual person (no menu option presented for an operator), the automated voice only said, "We're sorry your are having issues, goodbye."  Nice.  So how do I get an actual person on the line to assist?  Thanks.

See here for how the prepaid number works -

"Welcome to Verizon wireless, press 1 for english"

okay no problem.

"Please enter the 10-digit phone number your calling about"

that's easy.

"To make a payment with a PIN press 1, to pay with credit card, press 2..."

no, that's not what I want to do...

From this point forward, there is nothing you can do to reach customer support.  If you don't do anything or press zero to try to get to talk to person it says "we're sorry you're having trouble, goodbye" and hangs up.

Exactly, and therefore, pretty pointless.  Please advise how I can further address my concern.

Radio silence...?

Can I use Share Name ID on a prepaid account?

...and if unable to assist via this forum...

How do I get an actual person on the line @ prepaid customer service to assist?

Based on the FAQs  it sounds like only postpaid accounts can use the Share Name ID feature.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

Thanks for the input.  Yeah, I've read through the SNID FAQs and there's nothing definitive about including or excluding prepaid customers.  And also searched through the prepaid forum and found a thread from 2015 about SNID, so also looking for more current info - but I have my doubts.

The FAQs link is referring to signing into your MyVerizon account online as the account owner or account manager. The prepaid accounts only have account members.
