How do you add minutes to a Verizon Wireless cellphone?

Add additional minutes to a Verizon cellphone by purchasing them directly from a Verizon store or Verizon online or through activation of a prepaid Verizon service card from a third-party vendor, such as Walmart or Best Buy. The method required depends upon the phone's prepaid service plan.

Verizon allows users to select the type of prepaid plan for the phone, offering either a flat monthly access fee that provides an unlimited amount of talk and text for 30 days or a pay-as-you-go plan. Refilling the minutes on a pay-as-you-go plan can be done in various dollar increments generally ranging from around $10 to $100 as of 2015.
