How much would it cost for me to activate my device on prepaid?

[Destiny_Parker]

I was wondering how much would it cost to get my iphone 5s activated and a monthly prepaid plan on it.

$45/month, no activation fee.  Gets you unlimited talk and text with 2GB

Verizon Wireless Prepay -Verizon Wireless

I believe $45/month gives you 1 GB of data.

[Weth]

1.5 GB plus 0.5 GB for auto pay

Monthly Plan	Talk & Text	DATA With Auto Bill Pay
$45 /mo	Unlimited*	2 GB
$60 /mo	Unlimited*	3.5 GB

*Unlimited Texting to anyone on any network on the U.S. and to participating carriers in Mexico, Canada and Puerto Rico.

We seem to be looking at different pages. When I click on the link you provided, I get the following:

With the autopay option, it appears to bring the data up to 1.5 GB/month.

Weird!  I am just on the prepaid page linked from the homepage!?

The page looks exactly like yours, except the data is  higher on both plans? Page irk is verizon wireless.com/prepaid?

IDK

[tikibar1]

$45/month for 1 GB of data

$60/month for 2.5 GB of data

With auto-pay:

$45/month for 2 GB of data

$60/month for 3.5 GB of data

Prepaid Customers With Autopay Receive Bonus Data

And for what it's worth, if I click on Weth's link, I see what rcschnoor said he sees when he clicks the link.  If I go to Verizon Wireless Prepay -Verizon Wireless I see what rcschnoor posted in his screenshot.

And, I just clicked them again and now I see what Weth posted in his screenshot with both links.  Obviously there's some system glitch going on or a page update occurred recently.  At any rate, the prices posted at the top of the previous post are correct and the link to the News Center article reiterates it.

That should have said:

The Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) Program allows you to activate an eligible* Verizon Wireless basic or 3G smartphone on a No Annual Contract Plan.

*Excludes Windows Mobile®, 4G smartphones, and most Push to Talk devices (excluding BlackBerry® Push to Talk, which can be activated).

This prepaid stuff is confusing.  I went to the BYOP web page for prepaid and it says now you can bring your 4G phone.

Maybe they haven't updated the FAQ.

Following your link I see:

Activate your unused Verizon Wireless phone

Do you have an unused Verizon Wireless 4G LTE, 3G smartphone or basic phone in your drawer? Now you can activate both 4G LTE and 3G devices on one of Verizon’s prepaid monthly plans. It’s all about saving money by reusing something you already have.

Who knows.  Communication throughout the site is sometimes fragmented I guess.
