Is there anything at all wrong with this phone? I'm trying to get a good phone so I'll have one &amp; does it work with VM's $35 a month plan?

It's a Virgin Mobile phone. There are to many problems with this phone. My advice is to keep looking.

Absolutely. You just have to buy a virgin mobile supported phone. This will come with the VM app, when you go to VM.com click "Switch phone", type in the license #, and BOOM! Everything will be transported quite quickly. Its....its like magic!

I'm on the same $25 a month plan. Have been since 2012. I just bought this phone to replace my old one, and I was able to keep the same $25 plan (300 anytime minutes, unlimited text & web/data). Best phone & plan around if you don't require a lot of fancy apps or memory storage like me. Works great for texting, browsing google, and streaming youtube. Camera could be a little better, but you get what you pay for.

I'm on the $25 plan as well. I had an optimus v, dropped it and it broke. I spoke to Virgin mobile about my options. They told me that I must keep the same make & model phone in order to stay on the grandfathered plan. I ordered another optimus v off of amazon to replace the one I broke, and i was able to remain on the $25 plan. If I ever change/upgrade phones I will lose the $25 plan option. Whatever make/model phone you have while on the $25 plan, is the make/model phone you're committed to if you wish to keep that plan. I hope that helps.

Yes! Love the phone. And I'm with T-Mobile on the $30/mo pre-pay plan (no taxes or fees added): unlimited texting, 5 GB data, and 100 mins. You have to call them to get this deal. No matter what plan you get you will need to get the SIM Starter Kit $10, but when I called them they waived the $10 for me. Enjoy your phone!

You just buy the phone from Amazon... I chose Amazon because I have Prime and the price was low... or buy from Verizon then choose a pre-pay. I use Anytime Minutes which is $0.99 a day (only when you use the phone) and $0.10 per minute, nothing else. This suited me but there are other plans as well... just go to Verizon and look at pre-paid and live chat with a rep and they'll explain it fully.

I am not quite following you. In any case this phone is quite too old and not the best option as a smart phone. Try better a Samsung Huawei or LG. You will find some that are cheap and at the same time quite reliable.

Yes. This is the phone I am using and I am on the Virgin Mobile $25 plan. The phone is great for calls and texting, but not much beyond that. (Pictures and Internet access aren't the best.)

The phone is compatible with AT&T (I'm currently using it on their plan), but not all of the features have been available to me you need to mess around with the Internet apn to make your data work and (you can find that on forums) the mms apn is unavailable, so multimedia messages dont go through. It should be fine internationally.

Hey Adam. They are legit scams! I got one from amazon and took it to the AT&T; store and they said not only was the phone locked (hysterical since it is advertised as an unlocked phone) and they wanted to charge me $35 service fee to unlock. Your best bet is to look elsewhere because its pretty apparent that I am definitely not the first one to have a negative experience with this phone. Hope Amazon fixes this soon seeing that my father really wants one of these but it is hard to find a reliable site and one with a good return policy. Hope this helps, And have a good day!

I think the plan where you pay $15 every three month is gone. They went up to $20 a month before they discontinued this plan. I still have it but I think it's because I've been grandfathered. You need to check with Virgin Mobile. Ask if they still have the $15 for three months and when they say no, ask if they have one like it. I also only use mine for emergencies and I continue to accumulate minutes. But since you are starting out you may want to look around. I don't find Virgin Mobile as good a deal as some others and they're a pain to deal with. I only remain with them because I've got so many accumulated minutes.

It will work for the $35 plan as well. Mia at Verizon verified this response as well.

Well when I received this phone I was having problems getting signal on my T-Mobile sim card. So I took it to a T-Mobile store and they said that my item didn't come unlocked. So I had to pay to unlock it on T-Mobile. After it was unlocked it worked perfectly. You get 2g/edge data connection. The browser funs fast the apps run smoothly and have great graphics. The phone is fast and well built, the only issue that a having right now is that the volume when you talk is a little bit low, but that's not a big problem. So overall this phone is good and funs great on T-Mobile, I would give it a solid 8/10. Hope this helped you out.

This is an awesome phone...but I don't think you can get a data plan for it. It does use some data if you want to search for ringtones/ringback tones on it. But you would have to manual go into that function. It's not something that just happens. If you have any problems w/ that, Verizon is great in helping you on what pricing would be if you did wanted that.

No this is not a smart phone , I have used this phone for 7 years , and I Love it , and the simple plan is only 45 dollars a month and you get everything and you can also CHOOSE to accept Data or not , I chose yes , but the smallest amount and my Bill is only $ 51 per month only
