I left home, and forgot my LG G2. I need a phone/text for the next 5 days...can I just buy a cheap flip phone at the grocery and activate it on my account?
If your plan was for the G2, then it requires a smartphone. You might could pick up a burner phone and use a temp number.
That is annoying. I'm paying for cell service...they should activate a
basic phone for me.
Yeah, it is inconvenient I know. But, Verizon would, in some way, remind you that you forgot to bring your G2 with you.
ruascott1,I definitely understand how you feel! I'm totally lost without my phone. We can definitely activate an old phone for you to use as long as the phone is a VZW device. You can also activate it online http://vz.to/1zaF0Vx. Please keep in mind that you will not be able to activate a prepaid VZW phone on your post paid account unless that device has been on a prepaid account for at least 6 months.

Make sure that VZW is well aware that you're not activating a second line...you're just swapping phones for the time being. I'd hate to see you have to fight a mess with them over a phone swap that was viewed as a second line activation.
