Question

Jeff · Accepted Answer

The answer I was looking for is : "Activate Today" means you're creating an entirely new account with one of the carriers.
If you already have an account and a SIM in your existing phone, the "Activate Today" prices is not an option.
You will have to Activate Later by transferring your sim and at the higher price.

Activate today it means that you take the phone out of the store already activated with sprint, Verizon or at&t, meanwhile activate later you put your own sim of your company anytime you want ( this only works with unlocked devices)

look if you "activate now" you are going to get yourself stuck in some contract and its really annoying so just activate later it will save time and money.

I checked it out and decided to buy it without activate now.
The terms were: "These amounts will be billed by Verizon and do not include your existing line or account charges, or fees, taxes and surcharges which can add between 7% and 46% to your bill. Except as follows, your current Verizon price plan and features will not be changed with this transaction. Each device added or upgraded to your account will incur a Monthly Line Access Fee which may vary based upon your contract or device payment enrollment. Those customers Upgrading with a 2-Yr contract who have an Unlimited Data package will be enrolled in the Verizon 2GB Data Plan for that line for $30/month. If you complete this transaction, Unlimited Data cannot be returned to your line of service."

It looks like a way to save 2c now and get screwed by being forced into a 2GB plan.

When you activate with a carrier you'll pay a lower price for the phone but then again you have to sign up for a plan to compensate. The phone is still unlocked. So you have to calculate which one is better for you, low price with plan or with no plan. You have to factor in the cost of the plan and the phone and see which one works best for you.
