Is this phone for a pre-paid plan or the contract plan?

This phone was originally released by Verizon/LG for contract plans. However, since it is a Verizon branded device you should have no problem activating it on their pre-paid service. See the Verizon FAQ page for more details: http://support.verizonwireless.com/faqs/Wireless%20Service/ctia_checklist.html either way, I think it would be in your best interest to contact Verizon directly to be absolutely sure.

We bought one like it and we thought it was a contract but it's prepaid for the first 6 months then you can use it as a contract phone.

mine was for a Verizon contract plan, I think I saw that they now offer a prepay plan. I love my little phone, it tough and works great.

pre payed phones have no contract, you pay for your air time in advance, I like them, that's all I have used for the last 15 years and they work just fine

A pre-paid phone is a phone that use can use on a month to month basis. You do not have to sign a contract, but you can if you want. It depends on what service you use to activate your phone. I use Net 10. For $45 dollars a month, (direct deposit), I get unlimited minutes, tx, and web.

You should be able to...I have never used mine as a pre-paid so I am not for sure. I would talk to your local phone service and see if they know. Good luck!

Nope. Verizon is telling me I need to use it for 6 months first on a prepaid plan. Then I can switch it to a contract plan.

The phone that I bought was not prepaid. I specifically bought it to use on an existing Verizon account. I generally believe that if the phone is specified "no contract' that it will work on an existing or new Verizon account.

This is a prepaid phone only, so if you have a contract phone you will not be able to use it. This phone will ONLY work on a prepaid plan.

No this is not a pre-paid, this was a present to my father-in-law(68 yrs old), he is not savvy enough for a smart phone, but his old flip needed to be tossed out. He really likes this one and it was difficult getting used to the differences from his last phone. Hope this helps.

I am unsure. However, I have had Verizon for a while and they have said after my contract I can go to prepaid with the same phone.

It's not a prepaid phone. Is UNLOCKED- which means that this phone can be used as a replacemant phone for under contract, or as a prepaid phone. IN bouth cases you will need the SIM card : An used sim card if you do have previous contract or a New sim card that you dont have one, and you can buy for $10 prepaid near you. Its a good mobile but it does not come with a sim card.

Yes. At&t; can't tell a prepaid from a contract phone. Their are contract users buying pre paid phones as replacements to thier damaged poo phones. At&t; now has the Avail 2.

Since I only needed this phone on a temporary basis I used Verizon's pre-paid service but it still worked fine. I didn't have a number that I had to keep but I do know that if you already have an active number and are trying to either switch phone services or are simply switching phones that the company representative you are speaking with will ask you if you would like to keep your old phone number or switch to another available one. I don't think this phone comes with a charger, so just make sure you have one that will work with this phone before you get it because I don't think it comes charged...

Wouldnt recommended this phone for either prepaid or contract. It is a terrible phone not worth nearly the price you'll be paying for it. But I don't know if is a contract phone, but I bet it is.

The term"prepaid" refers to those phone plans that are non-contract. You pay a monthly charge in advance but you can terminate your usage at any time period without penalty.

Yes, Cricket is considered a prepaid company due to not requiring a contract. This phone will work on your plan.
