If you buy a cell phone

How do you get it activated?

I bought a verizon phone off of eBay - I have Verizon service. It doesn't have sim card.

Can I get it activated somehow, and how would i do so?

TIA !

we went to a verizon store and they activated it for us. But I believe you can do it over the phone as well if you just call verizon.

Re: If you buy a cell phone

do you have a Verizon phone already?? Take your sim card out of your current phone and put it in the new one.

Verizon phones do not use SIM cards at all. You can activate it through your online account at verizonwireless.com if you have one. If not just call verizon and tell them you need to activate a new phone and they will walk you through it. It's very easy.
