HTC Incredible :: Is There Free Activation Through Verizon Online
Apr 19, 2010
I'm trying to show up for new service with Verizon and get the Incredible.But I cannot figure out if activation is free. I've had 3 online chats and have received different answers each time. In my last chat, they told me every possible answer, yes, no, depends, doesn't depend, what the website says, not what the website says.I tried to order earlier today, and I thought on the checkout screen it said free activation.Not sure whats changed. Now when I try it lists a $35 activation fee. But on the left of the screen is a box that says free activation, Friday-Monday, will be credited on 1st or 2nd bill.Things I changed was logging in through my university website (discount), and trying a 1yr commitment.I've been told several times that the free activation is only on a 2yr commitment. But I don't see it say that anywhere online.This whole process is not inspiring confidence in Verizon. I cannot get an answer to a simple question about the supposed free activation. They make the rules overly complex and keep changing them. They reps are clueless. Reminds me too much of Sprint.

I was going through the process this morning of pre-ordering my Inc.I am switching from T-Mobile so I am signing up for a new 2-year plan.On the checkout page it is showing a one-time activation fee of $35.Am I wrong, but I swear there used to be free-activation Monday-Friday online.I can't find that promo on their web site anymore.Did anyone else have to pay this fee?Perhaps they are suspending the promo during the Incredible launch?

I see site like amazon and wirefly sending out Inc according to some people. In order to get the cheaper price you have to renew. Ive always did my renewing thru Verizon and am currently not eligable for upgrade. Can I still go to the other sites and extended my contract and upgrade to a new phone? How does that work?

Is there any way that you can get them to waive your activation fee for a new line? I'm purchasing my Droid at Best Buy.I just jumped ship from sprint. At Sprint you normally could call CS and eventually get them to waive your Activation Fee.Other times when the phone CS didn't work, usually we could just e-mail CS and they would waive your activation fee.I was told however that Verizon are very strict with their Activation fee.

Does anyone know how to disable the Hand Free Activation on the Sprint HTC Hero? There doesn't appear to be any way to remove the SIM. I need to disable the connection to Sprint. Can do the data but how is the voice disabled?

I mean free, legal music. Like on Youtube...it is too bad so many videos are blocked from being played on mobile devices.And forget Pandora radio. It is good, but there is no way you can search for specific songs.

I just logged into my Verizon Online bill to check if my Google Voice settings are working.
I am seeing my cell number listed for a bunch of calls with the description "CL DELIVER"
Any idea what that means?
Since my number is showing up, I think it is being billed as Mobile to Mobile minutes, which are free, so it's not a big deal. Just wondering what it means.

Ordered my DX on Friday, phone is currently in route and will be in my hands tomorrow via Fed Ex.One question visual voicemail isn't a free feature with Verizon!? I'm coming from AT&T and iPhone, never had to pay for visual voicemail. I called into VZW they said it's a $2.99/month add-on, really?Who uses VVM and who doesn't?I know there was an app for the Incredible that would push your voicemails so you can boot the app and use it just like VVM, any good ones for the X?

I purchased MyBackup Pro and tried to transfer my contacts, apps, etc from one HTC incredible to another. I activated the new phone, instealled MyBackupPro on it, and restored. Only problem is, my contacts came through corrupted, so didn't transfer.Now I need to go back to my old phone and get the contacts off of it using MYBackup Pro. But the phone won't let me past the activation screen. I don't want to reactivate it, I just want to use the app to download the contact information to the SD card.Why is it requiring activation to transfer information? How do I fix?

I honestly thought that activation was a skippable step, but apparently it's not. So, does anyone know how to do this on a Droid Incredible with the latest OTA? Anyone got a contact at Verizon they could ask? I just want to use it for wifi and games.
Ok, so why would I want/need to do this? Simple, I'm deployed to Iraq and my cell phone service is on a military suspense. I did a reset after the last update, and now cannot use the device until it's activated, or I find a way to bypass the activation.
What I've tried so far (thanks to Google):
-tried tapping the 4 corners, starting top left, going clockwise. Doesn't apply to this phone, but was still worth a shot.
-"end call" on activation 4-5 times
-reboot 3-4 times

I'm on my parents family plan. Because I won't be able to take my parents to the store on Thursday morning (b/c of work) I am thinking of pre-ordering it. Will I be able to take it to the store for activation/transfer my numbers and everything without the "primary phone owner" or whatever Verizon calls the main number on the family plan? Whenever I try to call them or go online I'm unable to do anything because I'm not the head honcho.

Been with VZW for several years and can't remember paying an activation fee ever.let alone for an upgrade that's purchased online that I activate myself. Does anyone know if we'll actually be paying the $35 activation fee for current customers (NE2 eligible) w/2 year contract?

I'm getting a lot of conflicting opinions. Matchup:
1. This site strongly recommends that you charge your battery before activating it.
2. Other sources have noted that you should start it up and use it until it is mostly drained before charging it.
Does anybody have any scientific evidence to support one theory over the other? What are the consequences of letting it drain before charging if you side with #1?

I'm a soldier stationed in Afghanistan and I received an INC in the mail today that I ordered a week ago. Charged the battery, powered it on and discovered that it requires service activation in order to use it. I ordered it to use the WI FI capability here until I reactivate my Verizon service when I get home this fall.
I have read several threads in different forums discussing procedures to bypass the activation screen and I've tried them all. Tapping the corners in a clockwise motion or canceling the (*228) activation call and rebooting 3 times. I even contacted Verison and HTC technical support and they couldn't figure it out either. They think it's because I have no cell phone service here so cancelling the activation call method doesn't work.
Does anyone know how to bypass the activation screen from the ##778 command on the emergency dialer. I have read where it's possible to bypass using the A-KEY command.

I'm coming from WM6. I use to use Dashwire which synced all my contacts, pics, txt messages to an online accessible site. Unfortunately, dashwire doesnt support android.
1. Are there any sites like this for android?
2. Are there any online sites that support WM6 and Android? This would make it alot easier for me to transfer my contacts and info from my WM6 phone to android.

I have always purchased phones in the store. However to take advantage of the $30 promo code I am trying to order online. However, I do not see where it offers me the option to "upgrade" as I am going to be using my NE2 $100 credit. Towards the end of the online purchase it only asks me if I would like a new number or if I am transferring from another service. What am I doing wrong?

Just ordered a VZW Incredible today waiting a few weeks for it to come. In the meantime, is there somewhere online I can see it demoed? I'm an iphone swicher, and am used to Apple's posh snazzy videos showing me how to do stuff. Anything similar for the Incredible? Looking forward to being a part of the Android community, and being able to make and receive phone calls (as opposed to now on my phone).

As I mentioned, my keyboard seems to lag when typing online. Right now I am posting this thread from my Incredible, and it is definitely laggy? In all other text applications like gmail, etc. the keyboard is lightning fast. Anyone else notice this on your Incredible?

For some strange reason I can't seem to set-up my personal e-mail account on this Droid phone. I click on "e-mail", I type in my e-mail address and my password, and then I click "next". And then I get a message that says my username and/or password does not match. But I am positive it does, as I have gone online to test it. I have tried retyping my username and passwrod over and over again without any success. I can't get passed that screen.
I have Verizon FiOS at my house, so my e-mail is set-up through Verizon/Yahoo.

Do your guys phone have an HTC or Verizon on top? I saw this Engadget article Droid Incredible OTA update said to be bringing mobile hotspot, 720p recording Engadget and the phone has an HTC logo instead of Verizon. Just out of curiosity, does anyone here have a Dinc with htc branding instead of Verizon?
