Question Posted Wednesday May 4 2005, 3:58 pm

I know this is long but please bare with me, here. I think it's a pretty simply thing, but I am not sure so I am asking. I don't know what to put this under..so the closest I could get was under families.

Anyways, in mid- March my dad had got a Nokia 6015i with a Verizon plan for him and my mom. He gave me his Nokia 1100 phone, which is pre-paid and I like it and all. I want a LG VX6100, I asked if I could be part of the plan as well, since I can basically have my own phone line on the weekends and all, because of the free nights and weekends. I can't use the cell I have now because it's pre-paid and I am only suppose to use it for emergencis (sp?) , or if I am outside or they can't find me in Wal*Mart or somthing. I think you get the idea. My dad said he would think about it.

My question is if I paid for the phone it self with my birthday money since it was back in late March and I stil have about 80 bucks in checks that need to be cashed. Could my dad put me in the plan? and will it make a difference in the bill plan my parents have? or no?..-Thanks in advance to those who answer

Here's the deal. You need to show that you know how to responsibly use your phone. You have to keep up with the minutes if you are going on his plan. He may be testing you with the prepaid one. Because if it runs out of minutes too fast, it will be obvious as to whether you are obeying the rules or not. You may have 80 buck now, but you need at least 40 bucks every month for as long as you have a contract. It will make a small difference in their plan most of the time, but some have pooled minutes.

yes your dad could put you in there plan. It would charge you guyz however much the company charges to add a line. But if i didnt give you what you needed try verizonwireless.com it will give you whatever you need to know.

okay well that phone i have no clue have much it costs... but in some stores you can get rebates.. yes it would deffidently cost a lot to get the phone and put you in his plan...maybe ask him if you can get the family plan where you can talk to your family for free.. etc. but one plan costs about 49.99 that is about 50 dollars a month... plus if you go over the plans given minutes it costs a lot extra... so in other words your parents would be paying instead of a 100$ plan every month a 150$ plan... also. activating a plan costs A LOT !! about 115 or even more dollars... just to activate your phone that you are going to buy.. so think it over and make your decision... :-D

ps. some phones you can get free so if you want one of them you could pay for like half of the activation fee...
