I have a cell phone, and my service provider is Verizon. I really like them. Good coverage, customer service, etc. I don't like being locked into a 2 year contract. At all. My plan is up, I get frequent calls about a 'free' upgrade. I just don't want to re-up. I want to down-size my technology. But, I want to get emails on my phone, still, and need a calendar that synchs with Outlook.
Is it possible to buy a phone elsewhere and take it to Verizon and get it activated? And, is it possible to still receive emails on your phone, but not have internet service? I have a BB now (and hate it). Verizon told me that if you have a BB, you *must* have internet access. It is part of the package deal between Verizon and BB.
So, again, my questions are:
1. Can you buy a phone from anywhere and take it in to Verizon and have it activated (without having a 2 year contract)?
2. Can you have a phone with email capabilities and NO internet access?
3. Does anyone have a non BB phone with calendaring and email only that they suggest?
TIA!
