As of January 01-08-2015. This phone cannot be activated on Verizon ALL-Set (prepaid) online or in the stores. Walmart's Straight Talk - Tried and wasted 2 hours Tracfone - also - same company as straight talk. I even called verizon before i ordered this phone, they said should not be a problem, until I put in the IMEI for activation, and since this phone has PTT function it was no good for prepaid. And i took it to the store to verify.January 14 -2015 I was able to successfully activate this phone on page plus for $39.99 per month plan. activated over the telephone. I did not port my old number, i am porting that to a google voice account for $20. As of January 01-08-2015. This phone cannot be activated on Verizon ALL-Set (prepaid) online or in the stores.

Sorry,No, it cant, as of 8/05/2014, the Samsung Convoy 2 does not work with no contract Verizon service,(according to the Verizon rep) BUT it does work thru Page Plus, a (Verizon MVNO) which is how I activated mine, the Convoy 3 is the same.

Yes, it is a pay as you go process just like any service offered by one of the major carriers. I have a monthly plan with ATT. The cost is dependent on the carrier, their data plans and your needs.

This phone is a regular genuine Blackberry smartphone, it's the real deal, same kind of Blackberry phone you would get from a bigger cellphone company-it is not a feature phone. I am not sure if it is eligible for a pay as you go plan, sorry I don't have the answer to the second question :)

Not sure if it can be used as a prepaid phone, but you can use this phone with Verizon without having to get a contract with them.

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.

Hey D.E.,You need some sort of provider. I just moved my sim card from my old phone to the new. This should work even if you use a pay as you go plan. I use the t-Mobile yearly pre-paid plan - I just need to top it off to $100 each year.Really like this phone by the way.

this phone can be used as pre paid or with a contract. I bought one for my mother and she has a contract works gret.

Michel, not sure if this will work for a pre-paid plan. If it does, it would have to be through Verizon. You can call Verizon and ask them if they'd allow you to run this phone on a pre-paid plan.

Yes if there's no contract on it or make sure it's not just for a pay as you go unlimited plan.

I am not aware of what the AT&T; Medianet plan consists of. I use my phone with the pay as you go plan. I just inserted my SIM card into this phone and it worked.

The information I read indicated that the phone wasn't compatible with contracted plans but you might want to call up Verizon anyway and ask them.

The phone is made to use as a "Pay as you go" phone that you can just purchase minutes for, but I purchased it for my daughter and added her to our AT&T account (different SIM card). So you can do either.

I actually don't know. I put a go phone SIM card in and it used it as a pay as you go

I bought this phone for my mother and she has a contract with verizon, so the answer is yes, you can use it as a contract phone. Just bring it to your phone company and tell them you want that phone activated

No, Virgin will not let you use the pay lo plan. You must upgrade to one of the Beyond Talk plans.

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.

You can use a VZN compatable phone with Straight Talk or any company that uses VZN service. All you do is give the # that are requested when activating a service. Yes, if you are going to use it with a company such as Verizon (VZN) you will always sign a contract but with "pay as you go" service, NO. Be sure to buy the phone for whatever carrier you plan to use, such as Straight Talk uses VZN. etc... Hope this answered your question.
