How do I get the Motorola Droid without signing a contract?

I want the Motorola Droid but my dad works for AT&T, so he cannot sign the contract for a different service (In this case, Verizon). I might come across the phone itself, but how can I get the service without him signing a contract?

I am 15 by the way, so I can’t sign it either.

    you must sign a contract with verizon otherwise you can’t use the Droid because it only works with verizon. you can read more on

    You can try a couple things.

    Buy the Verizon Droid or Eris at with no contract and get Verizon pay as you go plan. You can also buy pay as you go 3G Internet. $5.00 a day to $50.00 a month. $29.00 with a plan so you pay a couple bucks extra to use it.

    You cant use the Verizon 3G Network without some kind of plan or pay as you go, but you can connect via Bluetooth and WiFi .

    Android is totally open source so you are welcome to get the Droid Smartphones and hack away. Join the developers community and participate.
    This is the most exciting time for the development of next gen aka 4G Smartphones. 100’s of millions of smartphones are expected to go online by 2012.

    Get the Droid and use what you can until you can hack it for AT&T

    Buy it on Ebay, but be forewarned, there are many scammers there.
