i think the difference should be that the unlocked phone doesn't need to sign contract with any company. like two-year family stuff like that...

I believe it means that you're not purchasing the phone with a two year contract, that it's just the phone. I have Sprint, and every phone I've purchased has always said NO CONTRACT and I've always been able to take it to Sprint and have them transfer my Account to it.

No, this is a prepaid phone, and it has to be activated for 6 months before it can be used on a contract line.

Yes, it comes with 2-year contract... There is no internet over Cellular or Wi-Fi network due to blocked by Sprint carrier (my dad is a Primary Account Holder) for data charges apply to the monthly bills that is too expensive over $100.00 per monthly service plan for 3 Lines; we have nothing to surf Internet on our cell phones without data...

I think it depends, you can always inquire about it with them. I buy the Verizon phones without contracts and my prepaid service flashes it over to their network.

Nope. Verizon is telling me I need to use it for 6 months first on a prepaid plan. Then I can switch it to a contract plan.

Tricky to answer. I got mine at the store and it was good to go from there. With a 2 year contract ext device price was zero.

Yes it does require a contract. Also, let me caution you, we were very disappointed in the phone. We bought it as new and it clearly is not a new phone!

No does not have a contract so it's clean and you can buy it and activate it on any gsm carrier and it will work and is already factory unlocked

No contract is required when you bring your own phone. if you buy this phone then try www.ting.com, it's a great cell phone company. I have two of these phones with Ting, and my bill is under 60 bucks per month.

Yes. The phone you use doesn't matter as long as it's a Verizon phone, of course. Verizon wants to make sure they keep providing you phone service, that's the real reason for the contract. Good luck if you purchase the phone:-)

The one we purchased was for verizon wireless and it's considered a basic so you don't have to get a data plan if you don't want it but you can get it! Just make sure that it states it's for verizon! Also if you buy a phone out right you wi not have to redo another 2 year contract if you don't want to! I hope I have answered what you were asking !

A no contract phone doesn't require you to stay with a service provider (AT&T;, Sprint, Verizon, etc.) for the standard 2 year contract. You can stop paying for a non contract phone anytime you want with no penalty. A contract phone usually cost more and you are bound to a 2 year contract by the service provider. If you cancel the contract, you have to pay the contract fee. This fee depends on how much of the 2 year contract you have left.

You are not locked in for 2 years. Keep in mind that this a data plan phone. You do not have to pay for a set plan per month, but can opt for a pay-as-you-go (or use) as you text,etc (at least with mine). Note: Depending on your carrier of choice, you need to buy the Convoy to match the carrier. I purchased a reconditioned one (for half the price) from a Amazon dealer over a year ago and it has worked out just great. (I purchased mine to fill out the remaining contract period rather than spend $250+ for a new one.) Wayne K.

Buying a phone on your own and not from your cell service provider means you didn't have to sign a contract keeping you with them another 2 years and your current balance of time on your present contract stays as it is.

If you bought it from Verizon it has a one year warranty. Mine was just bad and wouldn't power up - an internal problem. It was replaced no charge.
