Prepaid Service: Am I missing something?

the only problem with this is that if you already have an existing tivo at 12.95 a month it will cost 19.95 a month for that same service after it expires

No, not prepaid. If you have an existing verizon conrtact and your phone brakes, then you would be able to activate this unlocked phone without any change to your contract, or service. This is easily done on their website.

A drawback from the prepaid is that even if your service is active and you have used your gigs the service stops. I have noticed though that it still lets me get online to go to verizon to add more time ( gigs). Just not any browsing or games. There are not any notifications of your usage or being close to having used all your gigs. I don't know about a wireless TV. It should though. On Windows 8... I had to download a driver onto my laptop which wasn't a big deal so it would be compatible.

I believe so. For me, I didn't have a current plan and couldn't use this for prepaid with them. Had to end up getting a service AND a new phone because this one was too old even for Verizon.

Probably. Its a GSM phone, so it would need to be prepaid service from a provider of GSM service, T-mobile for instance.I'm very happy with this phone and the price I paid for it.I use it in the US, and when I went to Europe, I just removed the sim card and put a European one in. A kind cellphone store helped me enter some settings to make all the features work (web, text). Saved a bazillion dollars by not using my American service overseas.

I have a contract with Sprint. So I was able to activate the phone online through this provider. As for using a prepaid card, I am not sure. It has to be activated somehow before you can use the prepaid card. You may need to do some research on how to do this.

Rose I think you are asking me about the pre paid plan and if you are you have to use a Verizon prepaid card because the phone is Verizon. I hope this helps you and if I misunderstood your question please let me know. I will say that the phone is very simple to use and is a great phone and service. Denise

it does NOT say it comes preloaded. (from how I read the info) the service has $45 plans. I would avoid buying sim cards from places other than the actual company (telcel) . and telcel is worth avoiding for other reasons.

It depends on what you need. For example, every month I prepay $30 for 100 minutes, unlimited text, and unlimited web. You may find that 100 minutes is too small for you so you should check the prepaid plans available with t-mobile and see which fits your needs best.

Hi Sharon,SimpleMobile uses T-mobile's network. The first phone I used with them was an unlocked T-Mobile Samsung Behold II and it worked perfectly. I don't know exactly what you mean by prepaid though. I hope this help ;o)

Not in my case. I had a prepaid T-Mobile phone already. I just transferred the SIM card to the new phone.

That depends on you're subscription from your provider. You can even use it for prepaid data plans for mobile internet devices.

I used AT&T.; The Internet connection from my prepaid plan didn´t work, I don´t know why. Besides that it´s a really good phone, wifi worked great. It´s up to you to take the risk.

It's a SIMPLE card phone you can do prepaid or a contract. How ever this phone is junk, mine came broke in the box which is common for this phone. Do some research and find another phone

Yes you can. But only with a contract with Verizon. Prepaid only supports 3g.
