Set up Your New Verizon Wireless Cell Phone

If you have a new Verizon Wireless cell phone, you probably want to get it set up and ready to go so you can use it as soon as possible. You might be tempted to use it right out of the box. However, charging it, recording a voice message, and entering your contacts will make your experience go more smoothly.

Steps

  1. Remove the cell phone from the box and do not turn it on.
  2. Charge it first. To do this, plug one end of the charger into a house power outlet. Plug the other end into your new cell phone. You should be careful not to overcharge the battery. You could damage the battery. After your phone is finished charging, then turn it on.
  3. From a regular house telephone (landline telephone) or any other phone other than the new cell phone dial the activation number.
  4. When your phone is activated, pick it up and dial *228.
    • When prompted, press 1 to program it.
  5. End that call.
  6. Dial *86 (*VM). Set up your voice mail.
  7. Feel free to make some calls on your new cell phone!
