I knew you could do it on AT&T...depending on what rep you get. Thing is, there isn't even small print that would let consumers know that the full priced option is something they can choose from. Generally folks have to ask. God help you if you activate online.

you can activate a smartphone or blackberry on a vzw prepaid account, the catch is you have to choose a monthly plan not a daily plan and you have to have the required $30 data package and everything has to be paid for before your month starts or you get no service. So yes its a good option if you require a security deposit and cant afford it or if you simply dont want a contract but even if you have a contract you can always buy a new phone at full retail price and activate it.

those customers would be postpaid, one reason many people choose prepaid is to avoid the credit check and security deposit of postpaid.
