Unlocked phone

[beam9675]

I have a phone on our account that is paid off and can be upgraded.  Do not want to go into another Contract and have a monthly payment on a cell phone.  Does Verizon accept unlocked phone for regular accounts.  I don't want a prepaid phone.

Definitely!

See:

Activate a Phone You Already Own BYOD | Verizon Wireless

Always a good idea to call in and have the rep check the IMEI to make sure it is listed in the databases ahead  of time and can be activated....

Thank you for your help!

Its a shame the people in the Verizon Stores don't know this.  I was told only Samsung and Apple unlocked phones are accepted.  I'd like to file a complaint with the FCC but, I'm too lazy.

I want to make sure that you get the correct information at all times. Did you have a particular device make/model in mind when you asked about the Non-Verizon device?
