Question number one: If i go to verizon and start a new 2 year contract with them can i get the iphone 5 for $199.00 Im in the US. also do i have to have good credit to get the phone and contract in my name?

Question number two: If my step dad adds a line to his existing account with Verizon for me can i get the phone for $199.00 with a two year contract. Someone told me it would cost more than that since i'm not eligible for an upgrade...

1. Yes, you can get the 16GB i5 for $199 plus tax with a 2 year contract.
You will need good credit to start service with them, if not they will ask you for a deposit.

2.Yes if he adds a line to his plan you can get it for $199 and then whatever the monthly fee portion will be for your line.
Ask your Mom and Stepdad if they will go for it.
 
even if they and me are not due for an upgrade?????

When he adds a new line to his account then that new line is available for an upgrade with a 2 year agreeement for $199 for the 16GB i5.
Doesnt matter if the other lines on the family plan are not due for a phone upgrade.
