A:AnswerI bought the XR based on a Best Buy offer that I would get a $400 gift card, and I've had my phone for over 2 weeks now, and have yet to see any gift cards...
A:AnswerYou already need a plan with verizon if you do payments. We actually used our best buy card and paid the total, so no payments to verizon but to the best buy card.
A:AnswerYou can purchase the phone and activate it later. I didn’t activate the phone for a few days after receiving just because I was so busy with work!
