It depends entirely on each package some are monthly and I think the most would be a year

when you purchase a prepaid plan you will be able to add minutes to the phone

it comes with the customary 10 min. and free activation. after that, whatever card you buy, the minutes are tripled. for example, if you buy the 60 minute card, you actually receive 180 minutes.

I have tmobile. With my prepaid minutes, I use a sim card. It works great with this phone: it's very simple to install.My cell phone costs me less than 50 bucks per year. I buy 1000 minutes for 100 bucks and they last a year, but then I put more minutes on the phone and the minutes there "roll over". I am very happy with the service....and the price.Annie

Yes, I am already in the process of returning a phone bought off of eBay that was advertised as being ready for prepay and post pay, and after receiving it and spending 45 minutes with Verizon tech support, they contacted the pre-pay department with the ESN and determined that it needed to be activated for at least 6 months as a prepaid phone before it can be used on a post paid account. I am not sure why this is, but that is just how they do it for whatever their reasons may be. The phone purchased was useless to me so I definitely need to know this information before I make another purchase online, as I do not have the time to be going back and forth with this any more than I have already. Seller please respond and you will have a sale if this can definitely be used with post paid accounts.

When you buy a 60 minute prepaid card for this phone it will double to 120 minutes when it is applied to the phone. No monthly payment just how ever many minutes you use each month is what you pay for.

the phone does not come pre activated. Yes the code comes with the phone no matter where you buy it, 20 minutes and 30 days. You need to activate it at tracfone web site, easy to do. You can switch your old number or get new from their web site.

Mine is a Tracfone. So I purchase the minutes as I need or want them. With your minutes, comes service time. The service time could run out before the minutes if you don't use the phone very often. Usually, you're a good half a year ahead. I am anyway. You don't want to let the service days go to zero. That's what keeps your phone activated. 90 days are included with most or all minute cards. No contract. I buy the minutes online at Tracfone. If you buy the phone with tripple minutes, it's great. Check out Tracfone, if you haven't already. You do have to choose a phone with your zip code. Some phones don't work in some areas, I guess. Mine is a Tracfone. So I purchase the minutes as I need or want them. With your minutes, comes service time.

Found on readysim.com web site: "On each Ready SIM card is a printed expiration date. This is the last day that you can activate your SIM card before it is permanently terminated. Most cards will expire approximately 2-3 years from the date of purchase; however, you should check the expiration date printed on your SIM card."

AT&T has a $.10 per minute plan, and they tell you how much you used each time you make or receive a call. They have other plans for Gophones but I haven't pursued any of them. At $.10 per minute, you would get 250 minutes. For $25 AT&T gives you a month to use the time. If you give them $100 up front you get a year to use it up. AT&T doesn't want you to, but you can put the Sim card in any unlocked phone, even a smart phone. Use the phone with WiFi whenever possible and $100 will last more than a year.

it's not about this phone, it depends on which ATT prepaid plan you purchase, you can pay monthly prepaid plans versus 10 cents per minute and if you prepay $100, those lasts up to 365 days and you need to add more money before the money expires

as a previous owner of this phone which i gave to a friend's girlfriend to use. that when i first got it, that it did come with minutes upon activation. probably still need a net 10 phone card though to add tons of minutes. sure hope this helps.

There is a short period , 20 minutes or so? The thing to keep in mind is that the phones are not this months phones. The phone I bought had a coupon that expired a year or two before I got it, but the phone works well for the price. Adding minutes to the phone is easy and relatively inexpensive.

There was no monthly charge, I just prepaid four minutes. So if you did not use it for a month you paid nothing and if you used it a lot you paid for the minutes are used. in fact, I still have the phone, it has been at least six months since I used it, and it still has about 100 minutes loaded onto it.

Yes. If you have Verizon, you can use it. All you need to do is go online, once you've obtained the phone, and do an ESN change (actually an MEID change) and that's it. You replacement phone should activate in about 5-15 minutes.
