Reviving an old smartphone

I had to revive an old smartphone for a family member the other day. We had to temporarily replace a misplaced smartphone, so I dug around my closet and finally found an old HTC Touch for the Verizon Wireless network. I quickly punched *228 option 3 and we were up and running in no time. In the past, I had to log in to My Verizon or call customer service. Now, it's so easy to switch phones on the Verizon network by dialing *228 option 3.
