Verizon iPhone activation

With a Verizon iPhone do you actually have to sign up for a plan? Or can you activate the phone without signing up?

I believe you just need a working SIM card and you can activate it.

You have to have an account set up to activate on any carrier. They want your money.

To activate it on a carrier's network, you need to be a customer of that carrier, i.e., signing up

There are 2 different activations: iPhone itself activates via Apple and service plan activates via Verizon.

If you already have a working Verizon SIM card, just put it inside your iPhone and start it up. It will activate with that.

If you are activating the iPhone with a different carrier (e.g. T-Mobile or AT&T), just insert their SIM card and power up. Do not power up with the Verizon SIM card installed if you do not have a Verizon account, as it will take you to a screen where you need to enter Verizon account information to activate the phone.
