I currently have an optmus V thats grandfathered into the original 25/month plan, but its broken. If I buy this phone, will it work with my $25 plan?

I personally dont know. I assume that the plan is attached to your number. Before buying, call virgin mobile. Giving you head warning though, this phone gets problems after 6 months.
1060058
yes , this my 5th virgin mobile phone , but if you ever change say to unliminted , You cant go back to $25 ,its $35 after that

I'm on the $25 plan as well. I had an optimus v, dropped it and it broke. I spoke to Virgin mobile about my options. They told me that I must keep the same make & model phone in order to stay on the grandfathered plan. I ordered another optimus v off of amazon to replace the one I broke, and i was able to remain on the $25 plan. If I ever change/upgrade phones I will lose the $25 plan option. Whatever make/model phone you have while on the $25 plan, is the make/model phone you're committed to if you wish to keep that plan. I hope that helps.

Yes you can retain your original plan if you were paying $25. New customers have to pay $35 though.
1060061
I don't think you will be able to keep the $25 plan if you switch phones. I'd check with virgin mobile to be sure.
1060062
Yes, it can work with Virgin Mobiles $25 dollar or other plans, BUT anytime you change your plan, you lose any money you plopped down on the previous plan. It is a GREAT phone to have!

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 .

I'm on the same $25 a month plan. Have been since 2012. I just bought this phone to replace my old one, and I was able to keep the same $25 plan (300 anytime minutes, unlimited text & web/data). Best phone & plan around if you don't require a lot of fancy apps or memory storage like me. Works great for texting, browsing google, and streaming youtube. Camera could be a little better, but you get what you pay for.

I just ordered the same phone woks with the Verizon network. I am unable to use it because you have to activate it to use any features, when you turn it on you get the activation screen, when you call you have to buy a data plan for 45 bucks before you can use the phone. Right now mine is a paperweight. you cannot use the pay as you go cards data plan only.

I believe you can but they trying to get everybody on the $45 unlimited plan. I suggest if you do get the phone take it to a Verizon dealer to switch your number over but don't open it until you find out from the dealer for sure

I purchased a used LG Cosmos 2 VN251 and it activated into my current family plan contract with no problems. I hope this answered your question.

The information I read indicated that the phone wasn't compatible with contracted plans but you might want to call up Verizon anyway and ask them.

you can always call verizon and ask if they can use it as a pre-paid im pretty sure they use the same numbers to activate. but i wouldn't know for sure i activated mine with my contract plan.

Be careful dealing with Verizon all phone company's will do every thing possible to kill your plan so you pay more . But I think this phone is great and if you by your own phone your plan being prepaid should stay the same . This phone i was unable to use it for the fact is it a prepaid and I have a family plan and they would not let me us it so I bought the same phone for my plan and then my contract stays the same . Do your self a favor and stop by a Verizon store and ask if your phone being changed would affect your monthly payment ? Better safe than sorry

Yes it works just just fine with your contract. All you have to do is go into the store and have then apply this new device to your Verizon account. That's what we did. Good luck!

As far as I know, No. You need the beyond talk plan by Virgin Mobile. You can get 300 minutes for $ 35.00 or 1200 minutes for$ 45.00 or unlimited for $55.00. The Optimums V is a good phone. It has talk, text, web, MAPS, Navigation, messaging, camera, camcorder and other features. With MAPS you can see places all over the world from street view just as though you are in the middle of the street. You can see places like Amsterdam and see peoples houses, driveways, cars as though you are there. You select MAPS and type in where you want to see. Then you see an overview of that country from satellite view. Then wherever your finger touches you see that view from street view. It's amazing! You can see the inside the White House and see rooms and even see inside the Oval Office! With MAPS, you can 'travel' all over the neighborhood going down the street as though you are there. You can send pictures as picture messages. Look on Google under Send pictures with Optimus V for instructions. You may have to pay to send pictures. To take pictures it's free. It has You Tube. Download PlayStore and Playstore services for more apparently. Get a 32 MB chip card from Amazon for more memory. The Optimus V really is a good phone. The screen is about 8" L by 6" high. Get spare batteries, a charger, and a lighter charger from Cellphone Shop. Get several individual battery chargers from Cellphone shop. It has Navigation with GPS but kinda don't trust it.

The plan you are capable of is up to your Carrier. We recommend contacting your Carrier and making sure what sort of plans they have available for this model phone.

As long as it is a Verizon model and not a model from another cell provider, yes, Verizon can activate it on a current plan. I had no problem doing the same thing 3 or 4 weeks ago.

We tried our existing SIM card but it didn't work. Then we took it to AT&T; and they couldn't make it work. AT&T; told us we bought a defective phone. I contacted the company I purchased it from and they processed a refund for us. So buyer beware - a used phone may or may not work for any number of reasons. Ideally, the SIM should be transferable as long as the phone and the SIM are issued by the same carrier. Hope that helps.

there are different kinds of gusto 2 phones. You have to make sure yours works with an existing Verizon plan, as opposed to pre-paid. Hope this helps. Beth

My phone was a "post paid" that I put on my existing plan as a replacement one after getting it washed. I believe that they may be available as a prepaid version, but I was only looking for one to use on my existing plan and the description was fairly clear on that. It may also be possible to "convert" one, I am not sure, but I had good luck with talking with the Verizon people on some of these things as they understood that in my case buying a phone from someone else would be the better way for me to go in my situation. (they even suggested that I consider a used phone)

The title for this item states for "postpaid plans", so I'm thinking maybe it won't work for prepaid. I would contact the seller, because Verizon may not even know, unless you can give them the meid # of the phone you're wanting to set up. I have a Verizon account and am not on a "pay as you go", so I can't say for sure either.Thanks, Deb

I checked with Verizon and Jodie is correct. If you had both this and your contract phones for 6 months, then wanted to use this one on your contract (or regular account after contract ends), you could then switch it over. The prepaid is about as cheap as my new plan on Verizon (unlimited talk, unlimited text, 250M data), so I'll keep my plan as long as the current phone works and just switch over to prepaid and this phone with my number at that time.

I ended up returning it b/c verizon wanted to charge me for the family plan when this isn't a full phone.too expensive & yes I believe it only works with verizon.
