Just so I understand...I buy this phone for $45 and after I receive it, I choose a monthly plan? Anyone give me some examples of the available plans?

some companies won't take your phone because it's a burner phone they want you to buy their phone so good luck

You must choose a Carrier first. It you choose Verizon, ask them for help choosing a plan that fits you. If it is a "PRE-paid" phone, it comes with it's own number for about 6 months. After that time, it will no longer be a "PRE-paid" phone, but a cell phone you can use as a replacement for a cell phone you need to replace, but reuse that same number. It can be a little confusing no doubt. Good luck.

No this is not a smart phone , I have used this phone for 7 years , and I Love it , and the simple plan is only 45 dollars a month and you get everything and you can also CHOOSE to accept Data or not , I chose yes , but the smallest amount and my Bill is only $ 51 per month only

I agree with A. Mahajan. It is way cheaper to buy an unlocked phone, sign up for the Even More Plus plan and you can STILL choose to pay just $10 for the data plan. Plus with all the WiFi around, unless you are checking our inbox every minute you don't even need a data plan. It is incredulous, people just don't do the math and are blinded by a "subsidized phone" where they end up paying $200 upfront, but then $30 over 2 years. 30*24+200=$920. OK, it the $30s need to be discounted based on some yield curve. But the yields are low enough to not worry about them.

Yes, that's what we did. Phone was new and works great. Just make sure you don't buy one of those phones that u pay monthly. We made that mistake. Took it to Verizon and they couldn't hook it up.

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 .

Hi,I am also wanting to upgrade 3 phones and obviously have a family plan. When I try to buy this, it is forcing me to take a plan also for each phone, which I do not want. Any ideas if I will be able to keep my existing plan. I called up Cingular and they had no clue. Amazon says that they will cancel the plans that I am buying.Also will I be eligible for the Cingular and Amazon rebates.

I had to buy a sim card kit that came with the 45 dollar plan. I haven't had to fill it yet though. It took awhile to get it hooked up with straight talk, but it finally works.. I don't see why you can't use the 30 dollar plan. You probably won't get as much data with it.

I get evrything unlimited with MetroPCS for $60 a month and I mean everything. The new price is $70 a month..I was grandfathered in at the old price but $70 for everything is still a great deal for 4G and unlimited talk..text and data. Now go price that with contract companies like verizon ..sprint or others and it will cost almost double and that's with some limits.

Yes....at least mind did. Been 100% pleased with my choice and purchase. Had the phone close to 4 months. Great phone, great price and enjoying Net 10 flat monthly rate of 45.00 for all...unlimited. A good value for individuals...my opinion. My towers are still Verizon and few dead areas in my location, even on the lake where I live.

I noticed this too. I also went to ATT's site and set up a mock plan which does have the option. I'm looking to switch and am wondering if I sign up through Amazon will I be able to go in store and switch to the $30 unlimited messaging family plan? This guy doesn't want to get hosed 120 bucks a year for signing up on Amazon.

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!

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.

you can get the pre-paid data plan from att for this hot-spot, I used a SIM from the GoPhone section from wal-mart, activated online and works great(had straight talk hot spot-pretty crappy), if you don't used a lot of data then 1.5Gb for $25 a month you should get, or if a lot there is the 5Gb for $50, monthly left over data DOES NOT carry over, get expensive trying to buy blocks of DATA at 500Mb for $10 if you used up all your DATA for the allotted monthly package

I used this plan and only had the option for the 45/month plan, from what I understand it depends on the phone, if it's a smart phone or web phone the only option if the 45/month plan

I know this is an old post, but I figured I would throw the answer out there. Due to Verizon's desire to screw their customers over at every opportunity, this phone is not able to be activated on a contract plan immediately after purchasing it here. Sure, you could go to Verizon and pay the full MSRP on these lumps of crap, or you could buy it here for a somewhat reasonable price. If you buy it here, though, you must wait for 6 months before the phone can be activated on a contract account. To put it differently, the phone, as you would purchase it from this very product page, would absolutely work on the contract plan, but Verizon will not allow it until 6 months have elapsed from the date of purchase.
