You can use this phone with your account. ..sign in with your Virgin account and swap phone to change phone over.

It's a GSM based phone, T-Mobile, A T & T and many smaller companies. Just call Virgin mobile and ask them. If they're on a GSM network it'll work exceedingly well.

Mine was on a Verizon contract account. Don't know if they are offered for prepaid accounts.

I don't own a prepaid phone but all you do is go to say Wal-Mart and buy one there, as cheap as $25.00. Then pay as you go or set up automatic payment for charge/debit card. Verizon has te best deal for a top of the line carrier. Stay away from Metro PCS though.

I get the feeling even Verizon doesn't know what they do these days! I loved them under the contracts, but they have proven to be a nightmare in the prepaid category. Frankly, they don't make much sense. My best answer to you is to contact Verizon and ask before you put any money into a new phone. Better safe than sorry when it comes to this. Good luck and, by the way, have a wonderful holiday season!

Virgin's "Beyond Talk" plan starts at $35/month (although I'm grandfathered at $25 :) which includes 300 min of talk time (plenty for me but maybe not if you're a big talker) and has unlimited texting and data (that means INTERNET!) So the easy answer to your question is NO UPGRADES NECESSARY. However, they just started throttling data once you go past 2.5gig. But it resets each monthly pay period. And that's a fair amount of data IMHO. Anyway, if you're considering this phone/plan then you must be looking for a rock-bottom price for a good (not great) service. It delivers. But if you want truly HUGE amounts of data and a cutting edge phone then you'll have to look elsewhere . . . and pay at least 3 times as much!

I have metro pcs and I just online and make my payment at metro pcs you can even pay a month in advance. I have the 40.00 plan and it covers unlimited talk text data and no extra charges, taxes ,service fees all with in the plan. like it says 40.00 for everything that's it. each month your bill would be the same, no mater what plan you chose mine is 40.00 each month and I don't worry about usage or the bill because its always 40.00

I've had this phone for less than a month but so far, I've had no issues. I opted to buy from Amazon instead of Virgin Mobile because it was $50 cheaper. I have not regretted that decision. Shipping was swift and Virgin Mobile had no issues activating the phone. Keep in mind; you will need to purchase a micro SD card for memory if you plan to store music, apps, and/or lots of photos and videos. I recommend getting this at the same time as your phone. Short answer: totally satisfied with this phone.

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.

I use virgin mobile. You'll have to check their plans on their website. It varies depending on how much data you require.

Prepaid means you pay a month in advance. So, you pay $50 for the month starting the day you pay for the $50. You can cancel your service any time, but the remainder of the month is paid for.

? We have US Cellular. Not sure if they are the same. You can call Virgin Mobile, they should know.

I have the T-Mobile prepaid plan with a super-cheapie phone (Moto v195s) and I'm looking at upgrading to this phone. Were you able to get the data plan separately to work with this phone and the prepaid plan? I don't use voice heavily, but I do text message and I might like having data. What was the cost (if you don't mind the question) and are you seeing any drawbacks to this arrangement? Thanks!

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

You can swap but I called and they said they give credit for other company phones, not virgin moble phones, whih makes no sense in the world other than the want the money for a new phone. I've beeen with them for 5 years now and service has been great for the price. No one matches their rates yet.
