On Ultra.me the plan is for $19. The question is, if I buy this simcard, will I have to stick with the $29 plan, or I can switch to other plans?

You can switch. (: It's really easy to do and if you run out of data and need more, it's inexpensive to recharge it.
1423933
You can switch to a higher plan or to a lower plan just watch that they don't claim you abused the International call and cancer your service OK that's what they did to me OK but please enjoy

You have to stick to $29 plan. If you want to choose other plan, buy the purple card.
1423935
You can always switch to other plans while renewing the plan in UltraMobile site.
1423936
No, you dont have to stay with Ultra. You can switch back your previous plan or another.

I think the plan where you pay $15 every three month is gone. They went up to $20 a month before they discontinued this plan. I still have it but I think it's because I've been grandfathered. You need to check with Virgin Mobile. Ask if they still have the $15 for three months and when they say no, ask if they have one like it. I also only use mine for emergencies and I continue to accumulate minutes. But since you are starting out you may want to look around. I don't find Virgin Mobile as good a deal as some others and they're a pain to deal with. I only remain with them because I've got so many accumulated minutes.

Well I try to do it with my regular sim card and it didn't worked, they charged me $16 only for trying. Then I bought a new sim card and when I tried to put money they automatically gave me the smart phone plan option.

sheriesapphire, I am like you. I have purchased this phone and am on an att postpaid account (non-gophone user). Make sure you put in your own SIM card first, do not put in the one that comes with the phone. Now to your question: Because you are a regular att customer, you will only have the option of buying the $15/$25 data plan options. You will not be able to purchase the gophone rates. I did not have to purchase a data plan because when I had my previous smartphone (purchased out of contract) I placed a data block on my account when it was still allowed for smartphones. For most regular att users, the $15 add-on plan would more cost-effective than the gophone rates anyway

Hey,It depends on the package that you chose after buying sim card. The $19 /mo gives you 100mb of data and unlimited talk.

These sim cards arent active. Once you receive them you have to add money and call the company to activate them. Im currently using the $25 plan. Unlimited calls and sms/mms. If you want to use the web I believe its starts at $40 for everything.

Your plan needs to support whatever you are wanting to do. I took the sim from my old phone and used it in this one and i have the same service as before.

I would like to know how you bypass the adding of the data plan to your bill- I just got off the phone with an AT&T; rep that told me when their system does a sweep- it recognizes that the basic phone SIM card is in a smartphone. It automatically adds it to your account! I have just purchased 3 of these phones to use as regular phones and not data. Does anybody know how to fix my problem?? Please help!!

Is there a difference? Not from my experience. My monthly plan only includes calling anywhere in the U.S. My girlfriend lives 30 minutes away in Canada and I do not have international calling so I pay for the 123 Calling Card. Most times our connections are perfect but there are times in which it can be a bit off but it's no big deal. And the cost for calling her through the pre-paid is very cheap compared to having it included on my plan. Very cheap.

I've used it with both the $15 and $35 cards. All that happens with this phone is that the value of the card you choose goes into an account. Your minutes are deducted from that account. If you're asking about the cards for use with data plans, honestly I'd skip this phone and choose a "smarter", faster phone like the Moto G. Good Luck

Hey D.E.,You need some sort of provider. I just moved my sim card from my old phone to the new. This should work even if you use a pay as you go plan. I use the t-Mobile yearly pre-paid plan - I just need to top it off to $100 each year.Really like this phone by the way.

I get evrything unlimited with MetroPCS for $60 a month and I mean everything. The new price is $70 a month..I was grandfathered in at the old price but $70 for everything is still a great deal for 4G and unlimited talk..text and data. Now go price that with contract companies like verizon ..sprint or others and it will cost almost double and that's with some limits.

As far as I know there is $40 plan pre loaded with some sim. I am not sure why the review said so.

That's exactly what I did. No problem at all. Needed a new sim card but they didn't charge me for it :0)

I bought this phone an it broke within 8 months , Virgin Mobile gave Me back a refurbished unit . Yeah Im on that plan too for $25 a month. As long as You stay on it , You will be billed $25 , but if You go to the $40 unlimited , and change Your mind a month or 2 years , You wont be able to use that plan again and will be charged $35 a month .
