People are having an issue activation these phones

There is no issue if you are buying this as a new phone/new prepaid plan.
If you are buying this phone to REPLACE your existing prepaid phone you will run into issues if activation is not done correctly.
This is basically a subsidized phone because of the price. Verizon/Bestbuy must make up the money on the phone by making sure you pay a minimum amount on your prepaid account.
You cannot just buy the phone and add it to an existing account because it needs to be a new account (read the message that was attached to the iPhone box from Verizon) so they can recoup the money on the phone.
In order to add this phone to an existing prepaid account Verizon/Bestbuy must activate the new phone with a new account. Take your phone number from your existing prepaid account and put it in reserve. Once your number is in reserve they will transfer that number to the new account on the new phone.
You typically want to do this as close as possible to your monthly plan renewal date to avoid losing money on the current plan you already paid.
Most consumers will not know this thus the 4 star.
Most experienced Verizon/Bestbuy reps should know how to do this. If they don't then ask for someone that has the experience/knowledge.
