Yes! And it's a sticky way to use the Pre-paid process. Verizon want you to take on a $50.00/month usage plan, but after 6 months, you can have them change it to your current Verizon plan.

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.

Yes, that is what I have. I also have a Bionic as well but it is a 4G phone and can not be used on pre-paid.

A pre-paid phone is a phone that use can use on a month to month basis. You do not have to sign a contract, but you can if you want. It depends on what service you use to activate your phone. I use Net 10. For $45 dollars a month, (direct deposit), I get unlimited minutes, tx, and web.

I'm not certain by what post paid means. It doesn't have pre-paid service..that much I know. If you're looking a simple phone for calling purposes only, this should work. You don't have to use the texting feature and its not a smartphone...no accessing the internet with this phone. I cant remember if it was tied to Verizon though; I purchased it as a gift for a friend who uses Verizon. You should check to see if its unlocked...you know, not tied to a particular service company. Also, check the companies like Verizon to see if you can get calling only (no text) service. Maybe Page Plus can help you with that. Do your research online and don't hesitate to call companies for more information. I'm not certain by what post paid means. It doesn't have pre-paid service..that much I know.

I got the phone on-line to avoid being locked into another contract.But it did mention that you could use a pre-paid Sim card.

Yes this phone is pre unlocked. All I had to due was insert my sim card, charge it, and use it. The phone works great, as if I bought it from ATT, only no 2 year agreement! You should not be disappointed from this purchase.

it DEPENDS. Some of these phones are for pre-paid use and some are for Verizon Contract use.

You bet! As long it's a unlocked, cdma phone, you can use it as any pre-paid phone for any carrier.

I do not know if it can be used as a pre-paid phone, but I have the $45 a month unlimited plan, and I did use the SIM card from an older phone, and it works. It can NOT be used with T-Mobile, or Consumer Cellular SIM cards due to the number that they use to activate the phone has a different type of activation set up number.

The term"prepaid" refers to those phone plans that are non-contract. You pay a monthly charge in advance but you can terminate your usage at any time period without penalty.

I bought it for that reason and NO you can't. I confused me & I wish I had asked first. I bought it for my Dad because he lost his phone. We couldn't use it. They(Verizon) he could use it 60 days after their plan ended if he wanted a pre-paid option. Its still in the box!

Depends. Sometimes is pre installed, but if anything if you are a Verizon customer you can go into any store and get one for free.

It is pre-paid only. I called Verizon and you have to use it pre-paid for two years before they unlock it.

it does NOT say it comes preloaded. (from how I read the info) the service has $45 plans. I would avoid buying sim cards from places other than the actual company (telcel) . and telcel is worth avoiding for other reasons.
