earlier this week my contract expired with verizon wireless. My
handset also decided to call it quits a day later. I took it to a VZW
store with tech support to see if the handset could be repaired . (it
was a nokia 3285i i broke the jack where the charger plugs in needed
to be resoldered). The tech asked for the phone # punched up some
stuff in the computer seen my contract was up. he then pretended to
look at the broken handset and tells me you need a new phone and
directed me to the CS desk to go get a new phone and sign a new
contract. I did NOT do that but instead just walked out of the store.
I came back home and called VZW and canceled service. CS told me if i
changed my mind call back with in two weeks and the account could be
restored. After that i stopped at walmart. They had a simplefreedom
phone which i bought. It is thru alltel that is reselling verizon
airtime at a prepaid rate of 25 cents a minute and 50 cents roaming.
Now the jackpot question. I like this nokia 3585i phone that alltel
has for this simplefreedom plan. VZW never sold this phone. If i
restore the VZW postpay account will this phone go on ??? Dialing a
wrong number gets you VZW recording to the effect number cannot be
completed yadda yadda i know this is running on VZW. If this is
possible i need HELP FAST as the clock is running otherwise i will
keep the prepay account thru alltel before i sign another contract.
