Can I use this phone with the $15 Verizon refill cards? I've spoken with three Verizon representatives who have all told me different things!

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...

Yes, I know about the dumbphone plan. I have an Android phone with the 5gig plan and am just looking at the 808. Because of that, I'm not on the $15 plan.Can you get the $15 unlimited plan today? Or is it some grandfathered in type of situation?

Did you ever find the answer to this question??? I am trying to upgrade my SECONDARY line & it's forcing me to choose a plan. I still want to stay on the family plan. Can I still purchase this phone as an upgrade? HELP!!!

It is a prepaid phone which is basically means just buying those prepaid cards in the store and adding them to your prepaid account. If you already have a plan with Verizon, you can't use it with your plan unless you have been using it as a prepaid phone for at least 6 months. I know it's weird but that's what they told me when I tried to add it to my plan after using it as a prepaid phone for only 3 months. And if you do add it after the 6 months, you don't have start a new contract. Those contracts are usually only for when you are buying a phone from Verizon for a discounted price. Hope that helps. Your best bet is to call Verizon and find out what will work best for depending on your situation. :)

I have been using the phone with a prepaid monthly plan. (Costs me about $54.) I would call their customer service regarding phone cards. And while this is generally a great phone, Verizon customer service SUCKS in my experience. And on top of that, I was actually told by a Verizon sales clerk at one of their stores that prepaid phones utilize fewer cellular towers, which may explain why my phone has little to no reception in an area, while my husband's T-Mobile prepaid phone was fine.

All of the prepaid refill cards can be used with any of the gophone plans. Note that you should not ever pay more than the face value of the card. Visit at&t's site and search for gophone to see what plans they offer.

I'm not sure about the Verizon, you can go on straight talk website and look up information on using different phones with for straight talk. and yes you can use it as the $45 unlimited plan that is what me and my whole family are doing. Its a really good company, straight talk is. and the website helps alot with questions on using different phones. this phone is AT&T; though

Yes! And it's a sticky way to use the Pre-paid process. Verizon want you to take on a $50.00/month usage plan, but after 6 months, you can have them change it to your current Verizon plan.

Yes it will work, but make sure you always use the $45 card. You can't use the $30 card if your phone is used to the unlimited $45 card. I found that out the hard way when I wanted to save a couple of bucks one month.

I use my phone with my Verizon plan. I replaced my earlier cell phone when it wore out. You would need to check with Verizon to see if they will allow you to switch phones on your existing account without upgrading to a higher-priced plan. Depending on your plan It may require you to go to a supervisory level at Verizon for the approval. I ended up telling them I would cancel my plan and just buy a SIM card if I couldn't use the replacement phone on the cheap plan I have. They realized I wasn't bluffing and activated this phone in the account. I like the phone OK. The only down-side is the ringer is not really loud, so I keep it turned all of the way up and miss a few calls when I am in a noisy environment.

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.

Yes you can use it with a Verizon contract, but since it's a smart phone it will cost you $45 per month.e-mail me at fernmartin@sbcglobal.net. I'll read you all the feature of that phone.

No you cannot. That is why I had a problem with it. You need to find a refurbished phone or one that is listed as having service for a year prior. The only way to use a verizon phone (pre-paid or contract) for an exsisting contract or plan is if the phone has been previously used for 1 year or more.

This is not true, I've seen others say this same thing, so I called AT&T. If the phone is used as a gophone you do not need to purchase a data plan. If you use it as a contract or any other "plan" you need the data plan. The $25/month or $50/month Gophone refill cards will work. Not trusting the answer on the phone I used the online chat and asked an AT&T rep the same question and got the same answer.

Makesure it is nor the prepaid one. If it is the answer is no. I had problems with the phone and actually ened up getting a refurb unit from verizon. Much easier to deal with.
