Usually Victra store employees like to start discussions about data plans with the 5G Play More data plan from Verizon and recommend it because it is a Premium Unlimited Plan which means you may receive more value from Verizon when trading-in your device in the future and upgrading. Also 5G Play More offers access to appealing streaming solutions such as Disney+ (included), Apple Music (6 months free), Apple Arcade (12 months free), Discovery+ (12 months free), Hulu (included), ESPN+ (included) as well as 25 Gigs of hotspot data per line.

–

Yes! Verizon makes it easy and financially compelling to join our 5G cellular network which wins awards regularly for performance and reliability. You can come to Victra and Verizon’s network even if you want to keep your existing phone number and to change your account over to a Verizon account we would need your account # and password from your previous carrier in order to bring you over to Verizon and set up your account with the same phone number as before. If you want to keep your phone and change phone numbers, Victra can also do this and install a Verizon SIM card into your phone and help you with setting up your new account and device.

14. How does trading-in a phone or tablet or watch work?

–

Trading-in is easy – we have been doing them for years. Just bring your phone in and we will review your device and account details with Verizon then offer you on the spot the best available promotions based on your current data plan and needs. You will know your trade-in value during your visit and our store employees can do the math to explain by exactly how much your monthly bill will be changing before and after your trade-in.

15. What are the benefits of trading-in my device to Victra?

–

You will receive instant credit for trading in your eligible device, meaning your credit and benefits start accruing right away if you are an existing Verizon customer who is upgrading or adding a new phone line.

When you upgrade or add a new line you’ll be given the option to trade in your device. Once you provide details about your trade-in device, if you’re eligible for instant credit, your credit amount will display. You can apply the credit towards your order for instant savings.

If you’re not yet a Victra customer, you can get account credit for your old device. If you’re not interested in purchasing a new device while trading your old one, you can trade your device and get a Verizon gift card or a PayPal account credit.

The device that I want to trade-in is active (is receiving calls and using data on any network) – what can I do? If the device you’re trading-in is currently active and you’d like to keep the line active, you must first swap the device with an inactive or new device before turning it in. If the device is active on our network and not with another carrier network, please visit our Activate/Switch Device FAQs for more information about this process. Devices that are active on a Device Payment Agreement (DPA) are ineligible for trade-in until the DPA has been paid in full. You won’t receive credit or a gift card for the traded device until it’s deactivated. For more details on how exactly you can trade in your device please visit the Device Trade-In Guide and for more information on other topics such as device eligibility please to the Trade Your Mobile Device in FAQs page.
