This is a prepaid phone. Not for Verizon contracts!

I wish zero stars were available, this is a prepaid phone and can't be activated on a Verizon contract as stated. I sent it back.

I ordered this phone as a spare.  I just needed it, got a sim in it and it will not work.  Sony cannot help as they say it should have never been sold to the public.  I am stuck with a  phone that doesn't work and am out the money!  DO NOT PURCHASE FROM THESE PEOPLE!

This phone is not unlocked. I have no problems with the phone performance itself, but the phone I got is not the phone I ordered. The title specifically states "factory unlocked", and I got an AT&T locked phone, which I cannot use in my country. Do not trust the seller, for I have just bought a 400 dollar useless phone.

I bought this cell phone, LG Optimus V Slider to use on Virgin Mobile's Talk Plus plan for $35 a month. I live I a zip-code where there is coverage in part of the zip-code and not in all of the zip-code. There is an ATT tower a  mile from my house, within visible sight of my house. I have a cell phone, not Virgin Mobile, and it works just fine from my house. Virgin Mobile uses the Sprint Network. Before I purchased the LG Optimus V Slider I searched their Coverage Map on the internet from my house, at the library and went to a Sprint Store to make sure I had coverage from the Sprint Network. They all said I had coverage at my address. So, I purchased the phone. What could go wrong? What could go right, nothing!!!!?  I called Virgin Mobile to activate the service, and I was connected to someone in India who told me I didn't have service at my address. I told her three maps from Virgin Mobile and one from Sprint from different locations said I did have coverage at my address. She said "so sorry" and hung up. Then I emailed Virgin Mobile and asked them about the issue. That was a week ago and I haven't heard back from Virgin Mobile. They said in the auto response they had a huge backlog of requests. I wonder why? So, I am going to return the phone and stay away from Virgin Mobile forever. Some people swear by Virgin Mobile, I am inclined to swear at them. I give the LG Optimus phone a rating of **** and Virgin Mobile a rating of *.

Not a 3g phone.  I could not use it.  Sold it for 1/2 what I paid for it.  Do not buy this phone.

Definitely not prepaid - contacted Three directly, as there was no service, so will end up just buying a SIM card from Orange.

Disappointed!  Order phone that was supposed to compatiable with my current provider only for my provider to tell me that the IMEI # associated with this phone is not a Sprint phone and can not be used.  Unhappy to say the least......

This phone does not deserve to have an avg of 2 stars because some moronic people are putting 1 star reviews for VERIZON AND NOT THIS PHONE!!! People wake up, this page is not for a Verizon wireless review as a company but specifically for a Samsung Omnia phone  - its hardware and software features!  If you disagree with Verizon's mandatory $30 fee, then go with another service where you will pay $30 less for a bad phone and bad coverage and constantly experience dropped calls.  But hey, you'll save $30.. DUH.. Read the fine print, every company has one.  Its not a "hidden fee" as everyone called it, its a FINE PRINT and living in this country, you should know by now to check fine print for everything you sign.
- very frustrated.

I was completely annoyed to learn that the phone I received was locked and consequently couldn't be used with Simple Mobile.  Went to 2 different dealers (1 Simple Mobile and 1 T-Mobile) to confirm that this was what the problem was, and they both confirmed it was locked.  Grrr!  What a waste of time.  When the word "Unlocked" appears twice in the item description you kind of expect it to be unlocked, no?!  Returned phone and ordered the same model from BestBuy unfortunately at a higher cost, and that phone worked like a charm.  I will NEVER go through AMAZON again to purchase anything electronic.

Ordered this once before, and all was OK. Ordered again, and this time Verizon said it was a "prepaid only" phone.

Received this phone in good condition, but couldn't activate it through my carrier because it was blacklisted!!!! Highly disappointed!!!

This is sold as phone for Virgin Mobile. It does not work on my Virgin Mobile plan, and I had to buy another phone. This one is in the box,  useless.
 I think it would be nice if description was more specific.

I purchased this without a contract thinking it would be unlocked. It's not. the phone is great, and delivers as specified, but AT&T has been uncooperative to unlock this phone.

The phone itself I LOVE!!!!! VIRGIN MOBILE IS TERRIBLE!!!!!! U PAY FOR UNLIMITED AND OHHHHH OOOOPS THERES A DATA LIMIT. IT SAYS UNLIMITED BUT ITS NOT! DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE UNLESS YOU HARDLY USE IT AT ALL. DROPPED CALLS CONSTANTLY IN A ZONE THAT HAS SO CALLED EXCELLENT COVERAGE. I DONT WANT A CONTRACT PHONE BUT VIRGIN MOBILE SUCKS

This was supposed to be a refurbished fully unlocked phone, but it wasn't. I got it in the US and it worked there, but then, I moved to Brazil and found out it wasn't unlocked. Also, the battery needed replacement. It came with no warranty outside the 90-day return window. I am extremely disappointed.

The phone is not what I expected, mine has no camera, and even though the phone came in a hard plastic container the belt clip was broken. To make it worse they claimed the phone was unlocked, when I went to the store to have the services put on it we found out it is not. I will never buy a phone on here again. Now I have wasted my time and have no working phone. I am not happy at all with the way this has worked out. Amazon has done a good job at resolving the issue though.&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Sonim-XP3-Quest-Pro-Ultra-Rugged-Cell-Phone-Black/dp/B006BAE1OE/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Sonim XP3 Quest Pro Ultra-Rugged Cell Phone (Black)</a>

This does not work on verizon system.  I probably missed that in the fine print.  It is a contract carrier.  Looks like a great phone but not able to connect to my carrier.
