Contract length (1-year versus 2-year) When I add this phone to my cart the only option I get is for a 2-year contract. How can I change this to a 1-year contract?

You can't. There is no more 1-year contract for new subscribers as they have finally succumbed to the competition.

400 minutes are tripled to 1200, but you can go on the internet and get a bonus code and when you activate the phone it will give you another two months service and 250 more hours. Total of 1,450 minutes and 424 days service. Be careful, some sellers are not including both the 1200 minutes and the year of service.

You have to add service days..You can buy 1 year of service for about $65. For occasional users this is the best option. If you need more minutes...buy more and you will also add some service days. If you don't need more time you'll be good for 1 year

No, there's no contract. It was an unlocked phone when we got it. Just the screen had the wiggles and it turned out to be a refurb rather than a "new" phone as advertised. We returned it. We purchased an refurb iPhone 5s from our service provider for $100 more.

You'll have to ask Virgin Mobile. I would like to do the same thing but I don't think so. If they do please let me know. I'm sorry I bought this phone because I think I am locked in for 2 yrs. I had the top up plan before and loved it because I never hardly used my phone.

It's not a prepaid phone. I don't know if you can use it with a current 2 year contract or not. When I bought mine it came with a year's warranty but after a couple of months I had to send it back for malfunctioning. They don't send new phones, just refurbished ones even if you buy insurance. Took me three phones to get one to work right.

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!

The coverage is for 1 year. Just forget about the renewable contract. When it is time to renew your phone will send a warning. Go to Amazon to purchase again at a discount rate. At first to install scan with Norton Snap. To re-install is some what confusing. Go to settings Apps Norton Clear Data Open Sign-in then Activated.

No, you don't have to buy a service contract, but you do have to buy additional minutes before they run out and/or before your days expire. I think all no-contract phones quit working after their time/days are exceeded but some may have ways to get service back without losing/changing your phone number. This phone comes with only 10 minutes, so my suggestion would be to purchase the $19.99 Airtime card (60 minutes/90 days, 120 minutes for your phone) and add the time immediately after charging and activating the phone. My reasoning for this step is 10 minutes isn't much time...it can easily be used in one call, and your dad can evaluate his usage and buy minutes accordingly.

When you buy the phone get triple minutes, and I buy 60 minutes every three months and that's 180 minutes but it depends on how often you use your phone. Mine is not always in my hands and my minutes last me. You should figure out how much you are going to use your phone and texting uses less minutes. My phone cost me about $80 a year

The phone comes with a 1 year warranty from BLU, as far as extended warranty i think you can buy one from best buy or staples.

it's good for one whole year, then you need to buy air time as well. Most cards come with minutes AND air time, which is fine by us, it ADDS the air time to the existing time you have, so for instance..if you buy minutes and get 90 days of air time, you then would have a year and 90 days. Make sense?? We love our trac phones, and with double minutes or even triple minutes...how can you go wrong? especially if you don't text or stuff like that. This is the perfect phone, it's thicker, bigger keys etc. My husband loves his!!!! Hope this helps!

They expire 7, 14, or 30 days after you activate it, depending upon which one you buy (the one you are looking at is a 30 day SIM), regardless of how much you use it, or don't use it, in that time. There is no way to extend the expiration (although they are considering this) so you are forced to buy, insert, and activate a new SIM and you will invariably get a new phone number when you do. The SIMs also have an 'overall' expiration date of around 1 to 2 years which simply means that if you don't activate it in this time, you will not be able to activate it at all. It's like saying juice has a shelf life of 6 months, but has to be consumed within 2 weeks of opening it.

I was in the same situation. I broke my phone and they wouldn't give me contract pricing. Yes, you can activate the phone, and buy a new phone at contract pricing when your current contract expires. I wasn't charged any activation fee. Hope this helps.

There should be an email that gives you a link to link it to your SquareTrade account (either to make one or to login to your current one). You link the phone by using the information they ask for in the warranty confirmation page, it tells you everything you need to give them.

I think so I never was asked for a 1 year, I was offered only the two year plan plus. I hope this helps you out.
