There was no monthly charge, I just prepaid four minutes. So if you did not use it for a month you paid nothing and if you used it a lot you paid for the minutes are used. in fact, I still have the phone, it has been at least six months since I used it, and it still has about 100 minutes loaded onto it.

The T-Mobile reps were unable to help me - exact same issue. So I switched to a Verizon prep-paid plan at $45 unltd talk and unltd text and 500MB data. You can buy extra data on your account in increments of 1GB for $10 and they last 90 days. This worked and no issues with sending texts now.

Depends how it described in the Seller's information.Some Prepaid phones come with $10.00 airtime, so you can activate it but you'll be told that you have X minutes remaining on each call. Once you hit zero minutes or just a few, you can the purchase minutes from Verizon - and I seem to rememer that it's a $50.00minimum.Once you have owned it and used it for 6 months, you can put it on one of Verizan's plans.If there are no "AirTime" in the deal, Verizon will charge an activation fee.Regards,BobO'B

Hi, there must have been a mistake somewhere, mine was bought in 2011 and is still going strong now 5/26/15. Yea, the "smartphone" crowd laughs at my Barney Rubble style phone but I'm always seeing them looking for a place to plug in their charger, my cheap Samsung can go 3 full days before it needs to be re-charged.

in that case you will need to buy a minute plan that will not expire before 1 year. If you buy something other than this, if your plan expires and you dont refill, the sim card will be cancelled.

It's a SIMPLE card phone you can do prepaid or a contract. How ever this phone is junk, mine came broke in the box which is common for this phone. Do some research and find another phone

There's no difference between a T-mobile prepaid phone and postpaid phone. You put in whatever SIM goes with your account/plan/phone number. There should be no other charges if you already have service. You might want to look at prepaid phones simply because there's no time commitment. I got this for $50, and got a $30 prepaid card with it. For me that worked out well because I was able to add the $30 to my existing balance. If you get that sort of deal, you can always sell the prepaid card on a popular auction site. People will buy a $30 card for $25 or so. Check back often since prices fluctuate. Also check the T-mobile website itself. Sometimes they have better deals.

The monthly fee varies as to how many minutes you wish to prepay. However the "J" phone is no longer being activated-do not buy it and waste $.

If I understand you correctly, you're not sure how to go about activating the phone, and recharging the minutes. Once you activate the phone (follow easy steps in manual); You will have to buy minutes before you use. My minutes are unlimited everything, and only costs $45.00/month. You will receive a free txt each month notifying you three days before your minutes actually expire. I hope this helps.

hi carlos, i charged it for a few hours, but i think you can use it immediately. i dialed out and it worked. had it since december 2013. i have a panasonic phone and the original battery would have cost $35, of course it did last 2 years, we'll see.

I get the feeling even Verizon doesn't know what they do these days! I loved them under the contracts, but they have proven to be a nightmare in the prepaid category. Frankly, they don't make much sense. My best answer to you is to contact Verizon and ask before you put any money into a new phone. Better safe than sorry when it comes to this. Good luck and, by the way, have a wonderful holiday season!

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.

My phone was a "post paid" that I put on my existing plan as a replacement one after getting it washed. I believe that they may be available as a prepaid version, but I was only looking for one to use on my existing plan and the description was fairly clear on that. It may also be possible to "convert" one, I am not sure, but I had good luck with talking with the Verizon people on some of these things as they understood that in my case buying a phone from someone else would be the better way for me to go in my situation. (they even suggested that I consider a used phone)

Call T Mobile. I use this phone on my existing plan, not as a prepaid plan. The important thing is that the phone is a T Mobile phone. It is very flexible. You should be able to get the plan you want if T Mobile has that plan.
