LG octane on verizon prepaid?

Good afternoon,
I currently have verizon contract plan that just ended - but i'm paying an exhorbitant amount of money for a crappy plan.
450 minutes, 1000 texts and paying over $50/month for a BASIC phone.
I am wondering if I can use this Verizon LG OCTANE phone on a verizon prepaid plan?
or will i be forced to purchase another basic phone?
Thanks!!!

drzrx,
Since your LG Octane phone is 3G it would need to be activated on a 2GB plan or higher if you would like to have it setup on a prepay basis. Recently verizon introduced a new $35 postpay (or contract) plan which provides 500 anytime minutes, unlimited text and web. Keep in mind there is no mobile to mobile or nights and weekends. If you are out of contract at this point it would require a 1yr contract extension. This is basically the same as the prepay offering for 2G phones however the coverage is better, it allows you to keep the same account and will work for all basic phone regardless of 2G/3G capability. You may have to call customer service to get this offering.

  • How do I port my Verizon Prepaid number to a new Verizon contract?

    Right now I have the $35 prepaid plan and I'd like to update to a Maxx HD, which is up on Amazon for $20 with a new contract. However, the Amazon page is telling me that my number is not transferable. I don't know what to do here, can someone help?

    I am considering a new post pay account, that was exactly the point of my original post. As I said before, i went to amazon.com, selected a phone, selected a new verizon plan, and put in my current number for a port request (which is with verizon prepaid). Amazon's website informed me that my number cannot be ported, and I don't understand why. So, to recap:
    What I have:
    >a prepaid phone with verizon
    >a number that I want to keep
    What I want:
    >a postpaid account with verizon
    >a razr maxx hd
    >my phone number
    My question:
    Why is amazon telling me that my number cannot be ported, when I am going from one plan to another on the same carrier?

  • Verizon Prepaid Questions - Different From AT&T?

    I am currently a prepaid customer with AT. I'm also an avid forumer on their website, and I "specialize" in their prepaid offerings and services. I have had Verizon prepaid and postpaid services in the past, and I left due to the high prices and the limitability of their prepaid plans.
    I used to have the $.99 daily access fee with $.20 per message. It got too expensive, but then I joined my Mom on her postpaid account. Just three months into it, it got too expensive; I then dropped my Verizon line and happily joined AT&T.
    AT&T has very good priced prepaid options and plans - sort of unlike Verizon. Overall, I am happy with AT&T (prepaid), but sometimes I can't get very good coverage in the kitchen of my home... Which is kind of important, because the kitchen is where the heart is, am I right? I do get good 3G coverage upstairs, though, which makes me want to stay.
    I use an AT&T prepaid Samsung Mythic, which I love, but it recently stopped working. I am looking to get it replaced soon. My Mom uses a Samsung Reality and gets two/three bars of 3G in our kitchen, while I get zero-two bars of EDGE. I may switch back to Verizon prepaid, under some certain conditions...
    1.) Does Verizon offer SMARTPHONES on DAILY ACCESS PLANS? For instance, at AT&T, you can use ANY phone except the iPhone on a prepaid plan, and it is allowed. Can you do that with Verizon? I would like to use a Samsung Fascinate on the daily rate plan of $0.00 with $.25 per minute and $10 Unlimited Mobile-to-Mobile messaging with 250 messages for other-carriered customers.
    2.) I use a plan at AT&T called the Simple Rate plan where I pay just $.10 a minute for all calls. Is Verizon's plan $.25 a minute PERIOD, or just to non-Verizon customers?
    3.) If I were to switch back to Verizon prepaid, are there any activation charges? At AT&T, you can just register your AT&T prepaid SIM card, and begin using the service almost immediately with no activation fees.
    4.) To add money to my AT&T prepaid account, I just simply buy $25 GoPhone cards and load them to my AT&T account. Then I add my messaging plan. Are there Verizon prepaid cards to purchase, and if so, are they easy to load onto the phone?
    If I cannot use a Samsung Fascinate/other advanced device with the mentioned plan, I am staying with AT&T, despite the coverage issues in my kitchen. At least it will be affordable and "limitless"...
    A reply would be appreciated. Verizon's business depends on it.
    Thanks.

  • Verizon Prepaid - questions about not paying on time

    961
    i'm a bit short on cash.
    I have the verizon prepaid Unlimited plan on my Droid X2, which is unlimited text and data, which they don't offer anymore.
    I'm a bit short on cash this month, and i know i can do without my phone for a week.
    My payment of $95 is due on the 26th of each month, and i wont get paid til the 1st, which is a week later.
    Will my phone still be able to be paid and activated again?
    I've read something about I have 90 days to pay it to get it back on, and keep the same number.
    Do they charge a reactivation fee type thing?
    I've been a contract holder for about 6 years now with verizon, and finally got out of that, so i'm new to all this pre paid stuff.
    thanks

    You probally don't need this info anymore based on your post, but for anyone else who reads it, here the skinny
    Even on the grandfathered prepaid monthly plans, you still have an expiration date based on your last largest payment, The plan you were on was $95 a month, so in your case, your last payment, last month, means you have 6 months of that account being active, and Verizon will not change your price plan without permission. So even if you didn't pay till Christmas, you would still have the number active with the grandfathered plan on it.

  • Verizon Prepaid plan

    Just wanted to express my frustration and anger about Verizon prepaid scam.  I have a prepaid plan for $70 a month.  I was told that all I would pay is $70.  Just went online to pay my monthly payment and they added $7 in taxes and fees.  Why did this just start?  Why now?  Last month my payment was $70.  Verizon wireless is a racket. 

    I prepay $100 per year and usually forfeit about $80 since I rarely use my phone. It expires after 1 year.
    I tried to make a call and received the message tha my balance is $0 and I need to add more money.
    I added $100 only to find that my new balance is $179.
    Do you think Verizon will refund the last payment?
    They gave me a number for prepaid accts. but there was no option for talking with a live agent.
    You can't do it through the chat line.

  • Verizon Prepaid Account Owner

    I just got a verizon Prepaid plan. and when i sighned in to my account it told my i wasnt the account owner. but im the only person on the account. how do i fix that, because im unable to use almost all of my Pre installed Verizon apps due to this issue

    Prepaid accounts cannot be owners and have less availability to certain features. Hence one reason why it's cheaper.

  • Verizon Prepaid Number Portability and Converting to Post Paid

    1. Are verizon prepaid numbers portable?  I don't plan on leaving verizon, but if I did, would I be able to keep the number?
    2. Can I convert my account to a post paid account at a later time?  Will I be able to keep the same number?
    3. If I move to a different area, will I be able to keep the same number, or will I be forced to get a new number with a different area code?
    4. I'm on the 99 cent plan for each day I use my phone.  If I buy the messaging bundle, and use messaging but do not make any calls on a day, am I still charged the 99 cents for the day?  Or is the 99 cents just for days I make calls?

    1. Are verizon prepaid numbers portable?  I don't plan on leaving verizon, but if I did, would I be able to keep the number?
     Yes you can always take your number with you.
    2. Can I convert my account to a post paid account at a later time?  Will I be able to keep the same number?
      Yes after having a prepaid account for 6 months you can convert it over to a contract account and keep your number.
    3. If I move to a different area, will I be able to keep the same number, or will I be forced to get a new number with a different area code?
    As long as  your in the Verizon calling area you can keep your number
    4. I'm on the 99 cent plan for each day I use my phone.  If I buy the messaging bundle, and use messaging but do not make any calls on a day, am I still charged the 99 cents for the day?  Or is the 99 cents just for days I make calls?
    No you are not charged for texting you are only charged the  99 cents when you make a call or answer  a call. So if you text every day but do not make any calls you are not charged for the 99 cents.

  • Registering for my verizon, prepaid

    I just had my Verizon post paid account switched to Verizon prepaid a couple weeks ago.  I can login to my verizon with my post paid login and see a message that says my account was disconnected.  When I try to sign up, from different browsers and computers, for a new my verizon login it always takes me to a page that says:
    We apologize for any inconvenience
    We experienced an error while processing your request. Please try again later.
    I'd like to manage my prepaid account online but it won't let me.  I assume I need to create an account because when I type in my phone number it says there is no my verizon account for that number and I need to register. I'm able to get into the My Verizon app on the phone but I can't add extra data from it if I need it.  Is there anything I can do to get this set up?

        Sorry about all the trouble you're experiencing with My Verizon, nodnarb3210. We should be able to get this cleared up quickly by simply un-registerring your original My Verizon account from our system. I have sent you a follow request here in the forum.
