Just call Verizon and they will activate ANY Verizon phone as a Prepaid phone. The only exception is if the phone has been on an account that owes money or was called in as stolen. This is concidered a "bad esn" and Verizon will not active that phone on any account. Now, once you activate a Verizon phone on a Prepaid account, it cannot be used on a post paid (contract) account. They have no issue with a phone going from Post/Contract phone to Prepaid plan phone. So as long as the esn is good, which you will find out when you call, then you are set!
