I do not understand what it is your asking. I had a basic cell number on my account I did NOT want a data package for. So I got this phone it was not prepaid if that is your question?

I do honestly do not think so. I never had an increase in my bill. I didnt need a data package either. You just cant go on the web. I only needed it for calls and text messages. It is a great BASIC phone and serves a purpose with out a data package.

You pay the charge to activate phone. I bought this phone for my niece & added her to my plan.

I purchased mine on Amazon from PHONESTORE USA... do not believe they are on Amazon anymore...and yes it was NEW in the box with battery, charger and phone for $80. It was UNLOCKED. Went with the H2O service/unlimited for $30 per month, no contract or you can go with AT&T;, which is quite a bit more per month. Just WATCH whom you purchase from. This phone is an AT&T; phone...H2O service is an affiliate of them, with service so much cheaper. ++Note++ You can go one Eb-- and purchase a NEW/or used phone.

I think my phone charged a long time when I received it, though I am not completely sure. Give it a full 24 hrs, and if you still have issues, return it. This phone is slightly difficult to work, since it's not instinctive. I love it because if it's size and style, but it's no easy ride.

When I bought the phone it had a bit of a charge on it. I did not have a phone card yet and was able to get on the internet. It comes with a sim card if you buy it from VM.

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.

The cost of the phone itself is a one time charge. If you want to make or receive calls on it, you have to pay whatever phone company you use for their service.

Yes. If you don't enroll in any monthly plan, you will be charged as pay as you go. In US 2c/min, 4c/outgoing text (free incoming text), 6c/MB 4G data, NO Surcharge. Be careful, data charge is rounded, meaning if you just check one email or weather app updates, you will be charged 1c. Charges will add up quickly.

My understanding of "unlocked" is that it works everywhere and isn't limited by your carrier's network or cell towers. But I don't know if that means they can't charge you.

It depends where you buy it. The Tracfone package that contains this phone will indicateit, I bought mine at Target, and it did not come with free minutes

I use my phone with the NET10 pay as you go service. I don't really like all the bells and whistles on most phones, I don't even use my phone to text. It costs me 30 dollars for 60 days of service and 300 minutes. I don't use it much so the minutes really add up. I am very pleased with this phone.

It depends on your phone carrier and who you have service with. You should be able to with additional fees.

PREPAID only. Some deals have $10.00 airtime but one usually hasto buy time packages. After a year, you can have it unlocked.

It's not pay as you go. I bought it for the same purpose, to use with an existing Verizon contract.

The phone that I bought was not pre-paid and I added it to my plan. Many different companies sell Verizon phones on Amazon. You must check to make sure that the phone that you are buying is not a pre-paid phone. If it is, you have wasted your money if your goal is to add it to an existing Verizon plan.

there is an initial turn on fee, then a monthly pay as you go fee. the monthly rates vary depending on the frequency of data down load- 1 sec. up to 5 mins. Find their web site for accurate rate info. they are also available by phone for questions , even prior to purchase. that tel. # is also on the website-great customer service and easy to use the product and program ( I am not real tech savvy).

No. You just go to readybroadband.com and activate your account and buy airtime. The first time around I had to call up customer service to set up my account. It is not cheap internet (around 25$ for 350mb of internet) but it works everywhere there is cell phone service.
