Can you use this phone as a pre paid?

Yes you can. I have page plus. It works fine. Though, as a warning, as with all phones, used mostly, there is a possibility that there may be an issue. Some phones (my mother's for example, was "locked" and the phone was useless.) The seller did send a new one right away. He paid for the postage. Some used phones it does not matter what brand, or certain carriers Verizon for example, and you cannot use them. SIM card phones such as T-mobile phones are NOT locked since everything comes off of the SIM card. (I used to be a T-mobile employee) Stay in contact with the seller, ask questions about the device you are buying IF you decide to go used. Just wanted to give you a warning, in case you did not know. But yes you can use it on prepaid.

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

yes, just like if you bought it in store. you have to have the $50 unlimited plan though. It is a pre pay so you just have to call, go on line or choose the $50 unlimited from your phone

No, this isn't a pre-paid phone. You have to have it activated by Verizon. They'll assign it a new number or transfer an existing number you have on your old phone.

It's not a prepaid phone. You may add it to your plan. We did without a problem.

Yes you absolutely can. You just have to go in and get a sim card, it's free. This is an awesome phone I bought one then I got one for my wife.

You can enter the info and see if it let's you before you pay. I did that once with a couple of phones to see if they would work.

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

No you cannot. That is why I had a problem with it. You need to find a refurbished phone or one that is listed as having service for a year prior. The only way to use a verizon phone (pre-paid or contract) for an exsisting contract or plan is if the phone has been previously used for 1 year or more.

I bought it for that reason and NO you can't. I confused me & I wish I had asked first. I bought it for my Dad because he lost his phone. We couldn't use it. They(Verizon) he could use it 60 days after their plan ended if he wanted a pre-paid option. Its still in the box!

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.

Yes, that is what I have. I also have a Bionic as well but it is a 4G phone and can not be used on pre-paid.
1757278
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.
474854
No. That's why I returned the phone. You don't want a pre-paid phone. you want a regular one that can be programed with the old number.

No. You need to buy SIM card you can get one from AT&T.; I got the pre-pay plan.

Hi Sue, The phone has to be bought as a designated, Verizon "pre-pay" phone when you purchase it. There's no changing a phone over, ie like one you already own. I bought this phone specifically as a pre-paid. $53.04 unlimited text, talk and web.I have my payment set up as an automatic payment and Verizon gives me a $5.00 credit a month. Verizon is the best and is used by the US government! BTW. I love this phone, I have literally beat the daylights out of it and she still works! Good luck.
