Hi, Is anyone using this with the top up every 90 days plan? I want to switch to this from my flip phone. Thanks.

We were told we could use this phone, so we bought it. When we called we had to switch to a plan for $20. A month. So when our money is come, so is Virgin mobile. What a rip off they are. Stay with your flip phone.

I use this with Virgin's 90 day top up plan and due to my low usage, I find it sufficient. I like many of the features of this inexpensive phone, except no video... but what the hay for under $15.

Mine was set up for prepaid when I got it. I got it to replace an identical (lost) phone that I used with a post pay plan. I am told the new one can be set up to be post-paid. But the prepaid plan has advantages, so I switched plans.

I currently am under the minute to minute virgin mobile plan - will I be grandfathered in and be able to keep that plan if I get a newer paylo virgin mobile phone? Something a little newer than Kyocera k9 but not smart phone for daughter for texting and emergency calls. The minute to minute plan requires we add $15 every 90 days and then we pay by the minute/ text from our balance.

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!

I have this phone and I am on the shrinkage plan. I am now paying $40/monthly (bcause its a smartphone, otherwise it would have been $35) for unlimited everything. U should b able to transfer your plan. I didn't have a smartphone b4 ZTE that's why in my shrinkage plan I continued same payment but i reached point where I can't go lower than $40. If u don't have shrinkage plan I suggest u consider it to c if it works 4 u. Phone is great! I love mine.

Virgin mobile and Boost mobile use a Sprint lines? I bought this phone for my hubby that does nit make a lot of call..but for 35 dollars a month unlimited that includes data with tax only 37.50. You can not beat that..I have sprint and soon as my contract is up switching..cheaper and still sprint..sorry for the typos

I have the 25 cent per minute plan and it does not stop at $3 a day. I recently had a family emergency and used my phone a lot more than I normally do and I spent about $5 on phone calls in one day.

Don't know of any just 10 cent a minute plan. T-mobile has 30 minutes for 90 days for $10. In my area you can use this phone for T-mobile. The provider you go with will help you.

Yes. My wife and I both have one. This is the plan that we have: We pay $20 each for 3 months (about $7/month with tax). She gets 10c/min talk and 15c/text message. While I get 20c/min talk and 15c/text message. What money you don't use carries over from month to month to a maximum of $400.

I just received this phone yesterday. Shortly after I activated the telephone with the new Sim card the $50 credit appeared on my account. However, it looks like that $50 credit expires after 60 days. So you have to blow through $50 in two months or you lose whatever is left of the credit. At least that's the way it appears to me. If I find out more or something to the contrary I will follow up.

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.

They have so many prepaid plans and you have to buy a monthly plan in order to use it. I have used their 29.99 plan which comes with free calling to many countries. Another one is cheaper than 29.99. I recommend u use their website for further details.

Hey D.E.,You need some sort of provider. I just moved my sim card from my old phone to the new. This should work even if you use a pay as you go plan. I use the t-Mobile yearly pre-paid plan - I just need to top it off to $100 each year.Really like this phone by the way.

I use mine currently on a prepaid plan and it doesn't require data. I'm not too sure about postpaid monthly accounts. I've heard of people putting their sim cards into prepaid phones and they've worked exactly the same. Worst case scenario you switch to a prepaid plan instead. I believe you can transfer your # it'll changed to a prepaid account is all. They have a $25 and $50 plan or pay by the minute depending on your needs . It all depends on if you have to switch to prepaid.

Yes and no. I use ATT's prepaid 90 day program. They have various options for length of program and the cost associated.

No. A plan has to be taken to activate it...(so that you can receive calls...) Without topping up sim cannot be just activated
