It's not a prepaid phone, I used it when I had my two year contract with Verizon. However, I am not sure if it can be used without a data plan.

no-this phone does not need a data plan. Don't let them tell you that it does. I activated 2 of them without it.

Yes it is a prepaid phone. When i called verizon you could use phone but had to pay. That would not work for me because i was already paying for a line. Didnt want pay twice

NO,I made the mistake of purchasing this same phone to replace an old phone I have with Verizon. When I kept having trouble trying to activate it, I called a Verizon Rep. & he said unless the phone has been used on a "Prepaid" plan for 6 months, they can't connect it to your Verizon acct. I had to return it and get one that wasn't "prepaid". Make sure you read all the fine print in the item description. If you find one that's not "prepaid" as I eventually did, it will work just fine.

It is locked to be used only on Verizon cellular network. It can be used as a prepaid Verizon phone or one of those pay month to month plans without a long term contract. The phone is actually capable to be used on any 3G GSM network; but I could not find anyone who can unlock it to be used as such. So if you don't plan to use it on the Verizon network, don't buy it

You can use it on a normal post-paid shared data-only plan as well, if you like. Either way, get your SIM from Verizon. There's also been a firmware update in the last few months to support the newer Verizon LTE technologies (what's now branded as "XLTE," I believe). In some cases this should get you better or faster performance - partly due to mitigating network congestion.

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.

The phone that I bought was not prepaid. I specifically bought it to use on an existing Verizon account. I generally believe that if the phone is specified "no contract' that it will work on an existing or new Verizon account.

Verizon has not required a data plan with my enV3 phone, however the first clerk that I talked to was sure that I would need one. I've had this phone for over 3 years, no data plan. Good Luck!

I have this phone and I do not have a data plan on it. My contract with AT&T; has never had a data plan on it so it was not required for this phone.

No, I don't believe that you can. Verizon uses a 4G SIM for their prepaid plans. I would contact them directly to confirm. Thanks.

Hello, Yes this phone will work on your current plan & contract without a data plan.

Uncertain as to whether it can be used with a prepaid plan. We got it for my mother-in-law on our Verizon plan. Good luck.

I used this phone with a regular Verizon plan. I never used prepaid service so I have no idea if it is compatible or not.

Yes. Phone activated perfectly on the Verizon network. I would urge you to activate via phone. They will not try to sell you another data plan, nor newer phone. Just ask them to do a "device switch". This should not disrupt your current data plan...( I.e. unlimited data).

No and any one who would tell you otherwise is a lier! I worked for Verizon for a very long time. This device and the other they carried can not be flashed to be used as a GSM based device. And this device is before dual band . The device can be only bought and used as a 1. Month to Month as part of your Family share plan no contract and if memory is correct $20.00 per month which uses existing data you have. 2. OPTION is alone which start new service with it have no contact and the cost is $ 50.00 5 GB or $80 for 10 GB but that price could be wrong . Price plans change . Then there is Per paid . Best I got for you. Hope that helps. Best this to do is call Verizon with the model number . Or go to see a rep you trust. But the device I bought from seller on here worked fabulous an still works over year later.

No data plan is required by Verizon. Verizon is my carrier. I signed up to pay an extra five bucks a month over the cell phone service so I could send up to several hundred texts a month, but no data plan, unless you were going to use this phone to browse the internet or something like that, but I would not advise that.
