I am using my phone with my Metro PCS service using my existing phone number. I tried to switch my service over through my online metro account but eventually called up metro customer service to guide me through the process. It is worth the effort. I love this phone. I pay my monthly phone charges $55 at the beginning of the month.

you can use it with your monthly metro service. you need to buy a sim card for it thru metro (20 dollars).

Sorry, I was referring to the phone's functional capacity, not the service.You have to call MetroPCS directly for that one.

I have never used prepaid plans. A phone dealer can answer this question. If a phone is unlocked, probably can be used with any plan. The phone in the picture looks like it is locked for verizon only.

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.

when you purchase a prepaid plan you will be able to add minutes to the phone

I have metro pcs and I just online and make my payment at metro pcs you can even pay a month in advance. I have the 40.00 plan and it covers unlimited talk text data and no extra charges, taxes ,service fees all with in the plan. like it says 40.00 for everything that's it. each month your bill would be the same, no mater what plan you chose mine is 40.00 each month and I don't worry about usage or the bill because its always 40.00

I signed mine up with Metro PCS which is a prepaid service with no contract. I have everything (talk, text and data) unlimited for $55 per month.

I don't have a prepaid. Used it for my regular verizon account. It was a good phone for the price

I have tmobile. With my prepaid minutes, I use a sim card. It works great with this phone: it's very simple to install.My cell phone costs me less than 50 bucks per year. I buy 1000 minutes for 100 bucks and they last a year, but then I put more minutes on the phone and the minutes there "roll over". I am very happy with the service....and the price.Annie

no just pop in your sim and use What ever plan that's available . I used prepaid and I didn't need the data but it's ok to have . It's more of a feature phone like

It's not a prepaid phone. You may add it to your plan. We did without a problem.

The phone can be a prepaid. When I bought it it had been used with Vodaphone, Verizon's prepaid phone service. My particular phone is limited to networks, prepaid or not, that use Verizon's towers.

Depends how it described in the Seller's information.Some Prepaid phones come with $10.00 airtime, so you can activate it but you'll be told that you have X minutes remaining on each call. Once you hit zero minutes or just a few, you can the purchase minutes from Verizon - and I seem to rememer that it's a $50.00minimum.Once you have owned it and used it for 6 months, you can put it on one of Verizan's plans.If there are no "AirTime" in the deal, Verizon will charge an activation fee.Regards,BobO'B

I purchase minutes from a company who are called Pin Zoo minutes and their time is very low and convenient. I spend $35 up to $50 for unlimited text, chat, and internet per month!! And of course it is a no contract company!! Your email will be your account on file and you pay online!!

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.

You can text and talk. Plus, there is a browser I choose not to use because it is expensive and awkward. I chose this because of the slide out keyboard for texting. It is NOT a smartphone. It came with a TracFone minutes plan and THIS phone came with triple minutes. This means if I buy 200 minutes I get 600 minutes. TracFone has many ways you can buy your minutes. The beauty, for me, is not having that monthly phone bill. That said, I THINK TracFone has started a plan for those who want more sophisticated phones that need to receive data.

Yes. It just means it can either be prepaid or put on a service plan. It works both ways. I put it on a service plan by dialing *228
