Upgrade a phone on my account and then switch it to someone elses?

My fiancee needs a new phone. I am up for a upgrade but he is not. We aren't on the same account. Can I use my upgrade to order him a new phone online and then just activate it on his account?

IF you use your upgrade it will extend your contract with Verizon for 2 years.  If you need a new phone during that time, you would have to replace it at full cost.  But it's your choice.

When you do that he will lose the warranty. You are better off first combining your accounts into 1 and then doing the upgrade. This will save the warranty. And if you're getting married then you will eventually be combining your account into one anyway, right?
