Long story short, my phone was stolen and I can't afford a new one at the verizon store right now. So I bought a cheap pre-paid phone a month ago, and the minutes ran out so now I want to activate my contract number on it. I'm still paying for my plan. So I should be able to actually use it.

Whenever I try to do it, it just asks me to put minutes on the phone. I can't figure out how to activate my number on it. Do I need to deactivate the pre-paid first? How do I do that?
