Return it ASAP. My charging cord broke within three months, then the insides pulled out a few months later, now it is in a drawer and unusable. It was a big waist of money.

It's not pay as you go. I bought it for the same purpose, to use with an existing Verizon contract.

No you can't it says it can be used but no so don't buy it. Don't use a phone that says it is prepaid or no contract phones because it means the same thing look for another Verizon Phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it DEPENDS. Some of these phones are for pre-paid use and some are for Verizon Contract use.

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)

Rose I think you are asking me about the pre paid plan and if you are you have to use a Verizon prepaid card because the phone is Verizon. I hope this helps you and if I misunderstood your question please let me know. I will say that the phone is very simple to use and is a great phone and service. Denise

It is pre-paid only. I called Verizon and you have to use it pre-paid for two years before they unlock it.

I have this phone and am not using it as a prepaid phone. In reality, the phone is the same whether prepaid or contract (post-paid). Phones from either can be used for either type of contract. On a pre-paid plan, you are paying for the entire phone up front typically, and you can then place it on a post-paid plan if you'd like or use it as pre-paid. The MIE HEX is an individual phone identifier and no one should be giving you that number and you should not be asking for it. It will not tell you whether a phone is pre-paid or post-paid.

Ours were not prepaid. Original one was bought at verizon store with a regular account. I accidentally washed it after like 8 to 10 years of use and had to replace it. Neither of the replacements were able to be activated although they had clear numbers. So we had to go out and buy a brand new phone as my husband needs it on the road.

Some of the phones are pre paid but not all of them. I bought this same phone and took it to Verizon and had it turned on. WARNING this phone is NOT waterproof. Mine got wet and got water damage. Even though videos on YouTube show the same exact phone being submerged in water a d the phone doesn't get water damage, don't try it. It was an awesome phone until it got wet.

It is a prepaid phone which is basically means just buying those prepaid cards in the store and adding them to your prepaid account. If you already have a plan with Verizon, you can't use it with your plan unless you have been using it as a prepaid phone for at least 6 months. I know it's weird but that's what they told me when I tried to add it to my plan after using it as a prepaid phone for only 3 months. And if you do add it after the 6 months, you don't have start a new contract. Those contracts are usually only for when you are buying a phone from Verizon for a discounted price. Hope that helps. Your best bet is to call Verizon and find out what will work best for depending on your situation. :) It is a prepaid phone which is basically means just buying those prepaid cards in the store and adding them to your prepaid account.

My son bought this phone and he use it with page plus, which is prepay on the Verizon network. I hope that's what you mean by pre-pay.

Hey Shelly! This is a prepaid Verizon Phone. The seller SweetUSdeals posted this item last week and the pictures and lower description are correct. for some reason amazon just added a description for the LG Extravert, not sure why. just keep that in mind if you are going to buy. Another thing is that this phone is good for "Only New Prepaid contract will work for this phone. Cannot be used as a replacement for active contract or line." hope this info helped Tyler

Your provider might charge you an activation fee. Check with verizon because they normally charge that fee.
