Mine was set up for prepaid when I got it. I got it to replace an identical (lost) phone that I used with a post pay plan. I am told the new one can be set up to be post-paid. But the prepaid plan has advantages, so I switched plans.

Since I only needed this phone on a temporary basis I used Verizon's pre-paid service but it still worked fine. I didn't have a number that I had to keep but I do know that if you already have an active number and are trying to either switch phone services or are simply switching phones that the company representative you are speaking with will ask you if you would like to keep your old phone number or switch to another available one. I don't think this phone comes with a charger, so just make sure you have one that will work with this phone before you get it because I don't think it comes charged... Good luck and hope these comments help! Since I only needed this phone on a temporary basis I used Verizon's pre-paid service but it still worked fine.

Once you sign up with Net10 they can send you one. I can't remember if one comes in the box as well or not. The prepaid plan is all I have used with them and not sure if they have pay-after-use plan or not.

No, it wasn't/isn't a prepaid phone. I don't know if you can load some kind of prepaid service on it or not.

Yes. It just means it can either be prepaid or put on a service plan. It works both ways. I put it on a service plan by dialing *228

Mine did not come with a SIM card and apparently my existing phone's SIM isnt compatiable. I was able to order a SIM card from Verizon for free. Due in two days, hope this works--if not this phone is going back. Quality of the phone is beyond fair, for a 3 yr old phone it has less marks than my 1yr one.

NO it is a pre paid phone. I tried to put my sim card in it and it would not fit. I wasted 30 bucks. I have not use for this phone at the moment. I thought it was unlocked and that I could just stick my sim in. I went to BEST BUY and they sell a 30 dollar phone called JENNY BLU and it work with my sim card in it. Hope this helps

It is not a prepaid phone. You must have a wireless plan that will work with this phone to use it. However, it is just a basic phone and not a smart phone so no data plan is needed.

I bought this phone two months ago, it's T-Mobile phone, but it's no contract. I used prepaid card for it.

Actually, just 2 weeks ago, I activated my old one for my youngest daughter as a prepaid phone. She has had no problems using it as prepaid. I went to a corporate store before I activated it and they said it's not a problem to activate them as prepaid.

No it is not prepaid. We use Verizon. The phone works great for my mother who is in a nursing home and I was able to find a charger that she sets the phone in because in her condition she wouldn't be able to use the plug in kind of charger.

Don't waste your money though, its a $60, $70, or $80 plan and put on an extra $5 if you pay through debit/credit. It's a slow out of date phone. I STRONGLY suggest you DON'T waste your money.

Makesure it is nor the prepaid one. If it is the answer is no. I had problems with the phone and actually ened up getting a refurb unit from verizon. Much easier to deal with.

This phone is without a contract! I just walked into a Sprint Store where I live and not only did they help activate it for me, they helped me figure out how to use it. I must have stayed over an hour. Now of course I already had service with Sprint and had a "Plan" in place, but my previous 2 year contract had run out.

No. That's why I returned the phone. You don't want a pre-paid phone. you want a regular one that can be programed with the old number.
