why was this sold as a no contract phone?

No contract with this phone means that once you receive this phone you can immediately activate it with any wireless carrier. With some phones, if they were a prepaid phone for example, you have to wait a certain amount of time before you activate it.

I think it would depend on who is selling it. And this model looks so old (approx 7 years?) that it might have needed to be linked to the tmo servers. When we had sidekicks and the tmo servers werre unplugged permanently, the phones did not work right. But i have heard that some people have been able to get the phones to work on other networks. Not sure why anyone would want to do that right now...I got a cheaper phone, month to month, with a better screen and a keyboard- for about the same price. new.

I have this phone and I am not on a contract. I use simple mobile which can be purchased in a nearby phone store. It's a 30 day plan with internet & unlimited & text for $45 every 30 days. Hope this helps. Good luck

I've just returned it to the seller because I've misunderstood about the word "no contract". I'ld like to buy a iphone for international using but that iphone have no sim card and not in use for GSM but CDMA network only.

Dear Jeremiah L.The phone that I am selling is a used AT&T; GO PHONE. It is no longer available for sale, but if it was you would need to contact AT&T; or go to one of their store locations in your area to see if you could use your present plan.SincerelyMichael Sterling

No, this is an unlocked phone, so you can put any sim card in it, it doesn't go with a contract

Good question- I called the service center for AT&T.; From what I understood, I don't think, AT&T; has a 'no contract service' for this phone.

It can be a no contract pre-paid phone you just have to make sure with your service provider you're aloud to bring in your own phone for pre-paid

The no Contract thing is more of a question of what US Cellular offers. I am using my for US Cellular, but I do have a contract for my wifes phone. They phones are not regional, and I travel with mine all the time. Again, it's up to what plan you have as to wether you are charged for roaming. I do find my battery to drain really fast when I'm outside of my normal service area.

as long as I have a SIM card that is valid and fits the phone, no difference. a no contract is like an ATT go Phone, or walmarts NET 10. you don't sign a contract and you pay as you go,

You don't have to have a contract to buy or use this phone. Yes, it is compatible, but always double check with Verizon. (my daughter has this phone and loves it, she is 34)

Yes, there is no contract. You have to tell Verizon if you don't want the other options. I had an issue with my phone where the front screen turned white and the inside screen was blank. I got it shut off after a couple of tries, left it off for a little bit, then turned it back on. So far it's been working. I really like the phone except for that problem. I don't want a smart phone and this is nice for texting, better than a flip phone.

this phone is unlocked. you have no contract with anybody. Make sure you purchase the proper sim card. I use a non-major mobile service for my phone.

A no contract phone means that you pay month to month for your phone's service and can cancel at any time without penalty for breaking a contract (typically most phones have a 2 year contract). These plans most often require you to pay for the full price of the phone however, opposed to getting the phone at a discounted rate by signing a contract.

No, this phone was sold as an UNLOCKED phone so that it can be used with any phone service provider in any country.

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.
