We purchased the phone on amazon to replace one my son broke on our Verizon plan. We were able to go onto Verizon online and activate it. There was no activation fee. The regular monthly payment as part of our share everything plan remained the same.

Yes. Just take it to your us cellular store and they'll put it on your contact. It's just called a "no contract phone" because you don't HAVE to have a contract in order to buy the phone.

just go to the carrier and get one. For instance when I bought my phone it didn't come with one so I went to Verizon and got one. Since I was a customer it was free but it only cost 5.99 for a non customer.

Yes you can. That's what we used it for. It may take you a while to get used to the phone, but it's a good no contract phone.

I'm not sure it might be pay as you go, you can still put a SIM card in and use all the features of the phone, I have no restrictions at all and no problem with my apps

The Sim card is something you will get from you carrier (AT&T;) There should be no charge for that as one of the earlier posts mentioned having to pay for it.

No. It's a regular phone that you would get at the store when opening an account.

Thanks for the reply. I don't want to pay a monthly fee since I will be using the phone very sparingly over the year.

No, but it should be available as an option from your telephone service provider (for a fee, of course).

No, we have locked ours so we don't get charged, but we recently got a score deal on data so unlocked it and use it often....

That is not really true if using a Pay as You Go plan. You are not required to have a data plan. I checked on the ATT site. If you have a contract and try to put your sim card in a smartphone, they will detect it and add a data plan automatically.

I top off my phone automatically and I pay $15. If I don't use the phone the balance accumulates. I have over $200 in my balance that I can use, like you, for emergencies. I don't accumulate minutes; I accumulate dollars and I pay only for using the phone by the minute. Sounds to me like you have the wrong plan.
