What do I need to use it with prepaid option? Verizon SIM card?

You will have to buy a Sim card at a Verizon store. Have someone install it for you at the store, so you know it will fit. You will need a Sim card with the prepaid option or with the monthly pay option.

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.

You can use a Verizon prepaid option, or you can add it to your Verizon phone account if you use Verizon wireless. What I do is: I have a Verizon unlimited plan with 3 gi's data plan, when I need to use my jetpack, I use the sim card from one of my Verizon Samsung galaxy 4g phones. I place it into the jetpack and use my phone data. I don't use mine often so I don't use a lot of data each month. However if I did need to use it more, I can always go online to Verizon wireless site and increase my data plan. My jetpack work great. Hope this help you.

This is not a prepaid phone. You may be able to do that if you contact Verizon, but probably not. I would not recommend buying this phone anyways as seen in my 1 star review...

Hi John, You need to go to Verizon to have it convert to prepaid SIM before you can use is as prepaid. Sincerely, Bargain & Savings

You provide your own sim card. Sine it is unlock Pre paid or post paid sim will be just fine.

I was able to activate my phone under the verizon plan that I already had. You will have to have some sort of plan/contract in order to use the phone.

no just pop in your sim and use What ever plan that's available . I used prepaid and I didn't need the data but it's ok to have . It's more of a feature phone like

Do you need a SIM card with this phone and can it be used as a prepaid phone

The one I received *IS* a prepay phone and it's packaged that way. But it came with a Verizon microSIM installed, and it should be acceptable to Verizon on an existing plan or contract.

Yes you can. But only with a contract with Verizon. Prepaid only supports 3g.

Mine came with a SIM card and I had to call verizon to activate with the number inside. However if you are a verizon customer they will send you the correct SIM card.

I think you have to buy a sim card... actually with Verizon accounts, that is included upon activation, so you don't actually pay separately for it. I LOVED this phone but hated Verizon. I would still be using it if I could put up with them!

My understanding from Verizon site is any Verizon cell is OK. The prepaid is a plan option. Call to verify or visit site to be sure. Within prepaid options there are different choices too. I love Verizon because all can be done on their site - even activation.

You have to purchase a cdma-v card I believe. This one is AT&T; *GSM* the post is misleading because it also says Verizon

In my description, I stated the smartphone is unlocked. You could read it again. If it UNLOCKED, you could use it with any Sim card prepaid.

My CDMA Pre 2 phones came with the phone, the charger, a soft case, and headphones. -- No sim card is used in this phone, it is CDMA which does not use sim cards. All you will need is the phone, please note that Page Plus says that Verizon phones can not be activated; this should not apply to this phone as it comes unlocked from Palm, but I never tried to switch carriers with this phone.

I did not purchase this phone as a prepaid. Verizon is the wireless service we use and it was compatible with that service.
