First answer depends on the type of plan you have with Verizon, is it relatively new or current? Are you trying to activate on a personal line or a business line?
Yes, you are eligible if you buy from Apple, or Verizon. Some Verizon reps may tell you otherwise but you will qualify for the Verizon offer.
Details: $30 activation fee will be waived upon device activation. $10 monthly line access charge will be waived for the first three (3) months after activation. Apple Watch must be registered for NumberShare with an eligible phone device. Limited time offer. Restrictions may apply.
