Don't purchase any iPad that is enabled to use any of the wireless carriers. An AT&T enabled iPad will not work with Version, and vice versa they have two different and incompatible wireless systems. Save your money and purchase a WiFi only iPad then go to what ever wireless carrier you are using and purchase a MiFi card, they also sell these on Amazon. With the money you save you can purchase a 128 gig iPad Air, or use that on a MiFi Card. These are a wireless WiFi router. Your iPad connects to it just like it does with your home network. You can connect up to 5 devices on them iPad, laptop etc. If you purchase the MiFi card outright you can then purchase some really great no contract data plans. All of the carriers have MiFi cards. If you purchase your MiFi cards,which gives a no contract deal you can have one for AT&T,T-Mobile, and another for Verzion, sprint, etc all you have to do is load the Sim card for the carrier you want to use. A MIFi card will fit in a shirt pocket with room to spare.

yeah. the wifi will work on mine and it's not active any longer. the only thing is I can't place calls or use 3g anymore. other than that its the same as it ever was. if the phone didn't have issues I would still be using it for internet.

I think you'll have to call Verizon to make sure. I don't really know how SIM cards work regarding contracts and switching phones.

Depends. You Must select the model for Verizon. The model I selected is for AT&T.;

Yes. I replaced with it a phone that is on AT&T; plan. Just move the SIM card to the new phone.

Cricket uses the same network as Verizon so it would be the same port. At&t; uses different network which requires some hardware to be different. The port is definitely different on both variants. They almost definitely would be the same port.

I'm sure they will. You will need to port the old phone number to the new phone- it would be under the same contract with AT & T. I bought this phone because my son broke his other one. We just took out the sim card from his old phone and put it in the new one- so we had his same number and all contact info., and we didn't need to deal with AT & T. Never had a problem with AT & T customer service though, you should be able to go to any AT & T store and have them port over the info to the new phone.

No. Verizon wouldn't let me set it up on my plan. They also crippled my account so badly (because I had an unlimited plan) that I had to eventually move to AT&T. I couldn't use it anymore anyway and if my USB760 broke, they were making sure that I couldn't get another forcing me to switch to a limited plan to get a new (LTE) device. My recommendation is to cancel and go with AT&T. There LTE is faster and at least in my area you are more likely to get LTE on AT&T than Verizon.

Yes. Verizon will be able to switch your number from your old phone to the new one.

You would need to talk with the wirless provider you are interested in. We already had a plan with Verizon so we just switched phones, which was very easy. We went inside the store and they did everything for us.

If you have the correct sim card. Call AT&T give them the imei number and tell them you're switching phones. I really really like mine.

no.. it won't fit because at&t; uses a chip a all of the other carriers and Verizon is CDMA (no chip), the phones architecturez are differen.

Who is your major Cell phone provider in your area? Where I live Verizon has the best coverage and then AT&T is second. But this phone is a CDMA phone and only uses the Verizon network. Do some research before you jump into this device. I'm hearing that Verizon is trying to phase out the CDMA technology in favor of LTE. Just do a google search of "CDMA Verizon" for further details.

Yes, you will keep your plan. You lose it if you upgrade(get a new phone) from Verizon.

So, if I have an AT&T; account already, can I just switch SIM cards and have it work?

Check with the pay-as-you go and go-phone sections of AT&T's website. They are often changing the structures of their plans. Also there are options not listed when trying to order a package online. I use a $25 a month plan with no DATA, and use my home network for DATA related smartphone features. You can call and ask customer service about all available options.

I would say no...I have learned that Verizon and AT&T; run two different systems .
