So me and my dad share a plan through Verizon. Today, his phone broke. He can't afford a new one, and isn't due for another year for a discount, but I have an old phone that I haven't used in a few years.

All of the phones are through Verizon, so my question is this....if I activate my old phone, is it possible to activate it with his number, or would it activate with my number by default, and make my current phone ineffective?

I know that if I hit *228 on my old phone, it says press one to activate. I don't want to do that if it's going to activate under my number instead of his.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
Can't you just call Verizon? I would assume what you are asking is possible, but they should be able to tell you for sure.
 
You should be able to activate it with his number, but yeah - you need to call VZ Customer Service.

We are all excited to experience the announcement of draft selections IN REAL TIME TOGETHER. If you feel the need to be the first to 'blurt out' the team's picks you are better off staying out of chat and sticking to Twitter. Please refrain from announcing/discussing our picks until the official announcement has been made at the podium. Thanks!
