can you use this phone if you have a monthly plan or is it only pre-paid

I would call a local t-mobile store and ask. I have a monthly pre-paid plan 1500 minutes or texts for $30. I have an account online and whenever my 30 days or my minutes/text are up I go online and renew by credit card. There is a delay in restarting your plan if you let it completely lapse, which can run from 1-4 hours. Not sure how well that answers your question.

Sorry, Not sure about using a monthly plan. If you can use your sim card from your original phone (take out, put in the Sparq ALCATEL phone) it may work BUT GO TO YOUR CLOSES BEST BUY (they sell this phone) & ask if it will work. I mostly use it for the RADIO(w/ headphone set attached) & recorded mp3 music on the micro sd card I transferred from my pc (headphones optional/ using external speaker).

Dear Steven, Thank you so much for answering my question. I was getting a phone for my aunt in Kansas, her speaker messed up in her old one. Once again thank you so very much.

I do not understand the "new" world of cell phones, so I do not really understand your question. I have an expired Verizon contract that I continue to pay monthly. It is not a prepaid plan nor is it anything like their current options. I do not have a data plan.

Yes you can if fact last time I activated the phone that was the only plan they had they did away with the other like the 70.00 dollar one. I went Verizon contract because the phones u get with pre paid r 3 year old phones so if anything goes wrong u will need to buy another.

If you mean by pre-paid as in do you have to pay before they send it to you, then yes. However, if you mean by pre-paid as in do you pre-pay for the minutes before you use it, then No. It is a Verizon contract phone.

No you can't! I was very disappointed. I have to use it for 6 months with the prepaid plans to be able to use it on a regular line.

No post paid is when you get billed every month. Pre paid is when you can refill you Sim card.

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.

Do you need a SIM card with this phone and can it be used as a prepaid phone

When you activate your need to pay for first month, phone will not activate without payment, I think you can use prepaid card for this.

It is a pre- paid phone so it all depends on what to get you service time for the phone.deal you want

Yes. It's an empty phone with no plan now. you can use for family plan or add pre paid service. However I'm very unhappy with it, I dropped it after 3 days.

It's not a prepaid phone. Is UNLOCKED- which means that this phone can be used as a replacemant phone for under contract, or as a prepaid phone. IN bouth cases you will need the SIM card : An used sim card if you do have previous contract or a New sim card that you dont have one, and you can buy for $10 prepaid near you. Its a good mobile but it does not come with a sim card.

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.

Its locked to Verizon. If you buy the device outright, you can go month to month

I bought this phone an it broke within 8 months , Virgin Mobile gave Me back a refurbished unit . Yeah Im on that plan too for $25 a month. As long as You stay on it , You will be billed $25 , but if You go to the $40 unlimited , and change Your mind a month or 2 years , You wont be able to use that plan again and will be charged $35 a month .

You bet! As long it's a unlocked, cdma phone, you can use it as any pre-paid phone for any carrier.
