You are not tied to a contract with this phone...I am on the $50 plan with tax that comes to $54.76...you get unlimited calls and texting. I go directly to my local Verizon outlet and pay the $54.76 each month to have unlimited minutes added to my phone.

No, you won't be charged any minutes to use GPS. I have been using thie phone and GPS for almost 11 months now. I have T-Mobile pre-paid voice only. GPS does not use any minutes. The GPS receiver on the phone connects directly to the positioning sattelite. Anytime I start GPS app it asks 'Go Online Now?' and I select the option 'No'. If you have a data plan then you can select 'Yes' and in this case the GPS connection will be must faster.

It's been a couple years since I bought my phone and no it does not come with minutes. You buy like a 60 min. card for $20.00 , then when you activate your phone you get a phone number.

Yes. It's a Tracfone phone, which means you can buy minutes cards wherever they're sold (e.g. Drugstores); you can also buy time from tracfone.com or from the phone itself.

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 believe you can use most of the cell phone companies. If you are going to buy the Lifetime 1000 minutes for $100 instead of a monthly plan; I suggest you go on line to T-Mobile. They accept that plan and will send you a SIMS card for the phone to work on their system. I checked with most of the carriers when I was buying one of these phones for a elderly friend. T-Mobile only accepts the above plan by email. Most of the other companies I checked with had additional fees of one type or another, including, but not limited to a hook up fee. I do not advise you to use the company selling the phone as the service is terrible in response time after the purchase.

There is an app for it, at least for Tracfone there is. Once you open the app it will send you a no charge text with all of your minutes for talk, text and data.

It isn't locked to a particular carrier. I went with H20 cell service. I bought a SIM off ebay for about 10 cents and loaded it with a "pay by the minute" plan from H20. You can use any carrier that has a pay as you go plan.

This phone is a regular genuine Blackberry smartphone, it's the real deal, same kind of Blackberry phone you would get from a bigger cellphone company-it is not a feature phone. I am not sure if it is eligible for a pay as you go plan, sorry I don't have the answer to the second question :)

Yes , A no contract phone. That's the best thing about it but the only carrier it's available through is sprint I believe...

The phone is fine for calls. No minutes came with my phone. I only use this phone for emergencies. I buy a plan that you can buy in many places including Walmart. I get the 60 day 300 minute plan for a little over $30. My minutes seem to roll over if you don't use them all. If you want to anything besides get and recieve calls something else might be better. I do get a fair number of "wrong number" calls. I assime that someone else had this number not too long ago.

No contract means you don't have to sign a contract to buy it. I bought this and replaced my other phone without messing up my verizon contact.

I bought the phone from amazon. I already had a sim card in my previous phone I got from T-mobile and just put the card in this phone. You have to go into a store that handles T-Mobile if you are not already signed up. They will sell you 1000 minutes for $100 or smaller amounts of minutes for less. Look at T-mobile website for "no contract" info. No minutes come with phone from amazon. Tmobile will assign you a phone # when you purchase minutes.

When I purchased mine, it was just the phone. If you want to use it, you need to purchase minutes or use a some that is not locked to another phone. I purchased the $25 plan which came with a SIM card.

I think this phone is best if you don't need a smartphone. Just a decent feature phone.
