You can subscribe to Verizon Cloud using a credit/debit card, with a valid United States billing address only.

Question 60

If I no longer have Verizon service, can I continue using Verizon Cloud?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can. Prior to disconnecting your Verizon service or porting out your phone number from Verizon, you'll need to complete your profile within the Verizon Cloud app with a valid email address and password, so that we can send you instructions to reactivate your Cloud account after you've left Verizon. It's very important to complete this step prior to disconnecting or porting out your phone number, otherwise you won't be able to access your Verizon Cloud content. You'll also need to set up payment information on the Verizon Cloud website to continue using your Verizon Cloud account on a different carrier. This step must be completed within 30 days of your disconnect from Verizon service. After 30 days, your Verizon Cloud content will no longer be available to restore. Note: Each member on your Verizon account that has Verizon Cloud must follow these same steps in order to continue to access their content. At this time, business and government accounts aren't eligible to continue using the Verizon Cloud service after they disconnect their Verizon service.

Question 61

How do I back up my content with the Verizon Cloud app?

Accepted Answer

When you first open the Verizon Cloud app on your device, you'll go through a setup process that will initiate the first backup of your content. Note: To back up your content on iOS devices, you must: Allow Verizon Cloud location access. This access allows Verizon Cloud to automatically back up photos when your location changes. Your location information will never be stored. Allow Verizon Cloud access to your content (e.g., contacts, photos, videos, etc.). This is particularly important after installing iOS 14, which has more granular levels of permissions. We recommend you give Verizon Cloud access to "All Photos" in order to ensure that these photos and videos are backed up.

Question 62

How do I know if content on my phone is stored in my Verizon Cloud account?

Accepted Answer

Verizon Cloud automatically uploads all the data for each content type you've selected (e.g., pictures, videos, etc.). As long as you choose to back up / sync a content type, and have room in your account to store it, everything you have on your mobile device will be uploaded to Verizon Cloud. You can also view your Verizon Cloud content to see what is backed up in your account.

Question 63

Will I use wireless data to upload or download files on my device with the Verizon Cloud app?

Accepted Answer

If you keep Verizon Cloud in "Wi-Fi only" mode, most content types will be backed up over Wi-Fi. Certain content types, such as contacts, call logs and messages may continue to sync over a cellular network and wireless data charges will apply. If your device is connected to a cellular network, data charges may apply when uploading, downloading or streaming a file with the Verizon Cloud app, and you'll be charged according to your wireless data plan.

Question 64

How do I sync my contacts using the Verizon Cloud app?

Accepted Answer

When you open the Verizon Cloud app for the first time on your mobile device, you'll go through a setup process. After that process is complete, your contacts will automatically sync at a regularly scheduled time. Note: If you're using an Android device, your Google contacts will also sync with Verizon Cloud. If you think your contacts aren't being synced by Verizon Cloud, refer to our steps on how to view and change your backup settings. If you upgrade or switch to a different compatible device, your device will receive the full list of contacts in your Verizon Cloud account when you set up the Verizon Cloud app on your new device.
