Is this a pre paid phone?

They used these as prepaid phones about 12 years ago, but verizon used them as their base model about 7 years ago in their regular monthly minute plans

I don't believe so. I have a plan with verizon and just linked my phone number to this phone.

Ours were not prepaid. Original one was bought at verizon store with a regular account. I accidentally washed it after like 8 to 10 years of use and had to replace it. Neither of the replacements were able to be activated although they had clear numbers. So we had to go out and buy a brand new phone as my husband needs it on the road.

I've ordered this phone twice and received a pre-paid version the last time (identifiable by the "PP" at the end of the model number printed on the label in the battery compartment). While I could not self-activate the "PP" version online with Verizon, their customer service was able to program around the issue-- took about 15 minutes. And we were off to the races.

I'm not certain by what post paid means. It doesn't have pre-paid service..that much I know. If you're looking a simple phone for calling purposes only, this should work. You don't have to use the texting feature and its not a smartphone...no accessing the internet with this phone. I cant remember if it was tied to Verizon though; I purchased it as a gift for a friend who uses Verizon. You should check to see if its unlocked...you know, not tied to a particular service company. Also, check the companies like Verizon to see if you can get calling only (no text) service. Maybe Page Plus can help you with that. Do your research online and don't hesitate to call companies for more information. I'm not certain by what post paid means. It doesn't have pre-paid service..that much I know.

Someone in one of the reviews mentioned setting this phone up with Pay-as-you-go. Read the reviews.

I use mine as a contract phone. I would guess it could be used a a pre-paid, it is all the same system- just check with carrier to make sure of type.

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

no. My friend is using this only with a pre-paid SIM card. However, he is using this in another country but I believe the same holds true in the U.S.

There was no monthly charge, I just prepaid four minutes. So if you did not use it for a month you paid nothing and if you used it a lot you paid for the minutes are used. in fact, I still have the phone, it has been at least six months since I used it, and it still has about 100 minutes loaded onto it.

As far as I know there is $40 plan pre loaded with some sim. I am not sure why the review said so.

I do not know if it can be used as a pre-paid phone, but I have the $45 a month unlimited plan, and I did use the SIM card from an older phone, and it works. It can NOT be used with T-Mobile, or Consumer Cellular SIM cards due to the number that they use to activate the phone has a different type of activation set up number.

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 this is an official samsung S5 cell phone...it is a lot to pay, but, it depends on your cell phone service. This was a prepaid cell phone service, not a contract phone service. Great phone!
