Pay as you go plan shows no data

I Have a pay as you go plan that shows $15 left but no data available and therefore will not allow me to get on the web or send picture messages. I was told that it would be $.25 a minute for calls and $.20 per text and $.25 per picture message and a per mb charge for web but I cannot send picture messages and I cannot get on the web. Does anyone else have this issue and know how to fix it.  Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

    Thanks for reaching out to us Richflickinger! I'm sorry I don't have access to a pay as you go account. Please reach out to our prepaid team at 888-294-6804. I'm sure they will be able to look into this!

  • Changing to pay as you go plan or canceling account.

    I am recently divorced and now living on my own on one very small income. I have an original first generation Droid, and with the data plan my bill is close to $100 a month. I am having to cut costs anywhere I can because of the dramatic decrease in income I now have encountered. My contract ends in December, so since I only have about 6 months I am wondering if there is a way I can just switch to a pay as you go plan and get out of my contract. I would even be willing to change to a lesser phone. If not, is the best option I have to suck it up and pay the early cancellation fee? To my understanding it would be somewhere in the vicinity of $170. Thanks in advance for any info!

No, you cannot switch to pre-pay without paying the ETF. Also, if you use Verizon's prepaid service with your Droid (a smartphone) it will be just as expensive as the contract service, because you cannot use smartphones with the daily plans. I would even be willing to change to a lesser phone. If not, is the best option I have to suck it up and pay the early cancellation fee? If you switch to a "feature" phone that does not require data (you can get one used from eBay, Craigslist, etc.), you can remove the $29.99 data package, saving you that money.  You should also consider finding ways to reduce the amount of minutes/texts you use to decrease those costs.  You could switch to alternatives like Skype on your computer for your calling, or just try to call during your evening and weekend periods more often. To my understanding it would be somewhere in the vicinity of $170. Your ETF will be $350 less $10 for each month of service that you complete. Thanks in advance for any info!

    Ipad 2 has a promo right now for free activation. Xoom doesn't that is why.  The reason for the activation fee  is when you activate and get a new MTN the only idea I can think of is to simply activate 1 time and just suspend without billing when your not travelling.  AT&T and all the other carriers have the exact same plans and fees we do so you will get the exact same every were else.  ( Sorry if you have been trying to figure this out for a while)

  • Can i still use pay as you go plan on a smartphone prepaid plan?

    can i still use pay as you go plan on a smartphone prepaid plan?

    Yes you can. However, 4G smartphones cannot be activated on prepaid. 3G devices have 3 different available plans. Verizon has an exclusive plan with Walmart which consists of unlimited talk and text with a 1GB for $50. The other 2 plans are unlimited talk and text with 2GB for $60 or 4GB for $70

  • How to configure my extender if im on the pay-as-you go plan

    I purchased a samsung extender. It says on the page and in the manual to setup myself as a priority on my extender. After a number of discussions with support I was told that as a pay-as-you-go client *I CANNOT SET MYSELF AS A PRIORITY* on my extender.
    This is a real issue as im in a apt complex and it has been used by others so much I get bumped off my own extender.
    Im also not very happy about the internet usage by others on my home networking. At times thier 3G use is taking up a lot of my home network bandwidth and causing me to have slow internet.
    So I need to set my extender to have my cell as a priority. How do I do this ?
    I *REALLY* need to make it private as the internet use by others via 3G is using up all my home connection bandwidth so I experence extremely slow internet speeds on my home computer. Having these be open to the public is a insanely stupid thing when 3G speeds are involved as they will surely use up the bandwidth of the home connection by strangers.

    IF you had exactly $50 in your account and a portion of it was deducted for some sort of fee which you were assessed, dropping your account balance under $50, then you would have automatically been switched to the pay as you go plan.
    It is best to keep a bit above the amount due in your account for just this type of occurrence.
    Good luck.

  • Can a Samsung Galaxy S111 be used on a Prepaid (or pay) as you go plan?

    Hi Everyone,
    This is my first post. Am thinking about getting a smartphone for my upcoming vacation. All I have ever needed is a desktop up until now. Would like to get a smartphone so I can keep in touch with my friends and well as getting in touch with them when visiting. I do not use a telephone due to a severe hearing loss so I would like to find something specifically for this trip. Was wondering if the Samsung Galaxy S 111 can be used on a no contract -prepaid (or pay) as you go plan. Will only use it for the required months needed. I know it's expensive ($70.00 per) but it's better then paying $50 - $60 a month for a whole year when I may only use it a couple months.
    Thanks

    Thanks for all the replies. You've all been a big help. The more research I do, the faster my head is spinning. lol  Is it a SPECIFIC tablet model that determines whether or not it you get wi-fi AND web connectivity?
    I'm trying to find a tablet that will allow me get connected in St Louis, Missouri and Wickenburg,Arizona. My friends in Az say Verizon is the ONLY carrier that has good coverage in that small town So I'm looking to get something Verizon will cover. Wi-fi is great but wi-fi and web connectivity would be much better. I'm not in any hurry since it will be awhile before I leave. I'm just  putting all the pieces together for the time being.

  • Question about Pay-as-you go plans

    Could anyone be able to tell me if Verizon offers pay-as-you go plans?  I am interested in see what kinds of savings that I could get on my current monthly Verizon bill.

  • Pay as you go plan

    My son has a phone that he had the pay as you go plan with Alltel. His money ran out and he has not used the phone for several months. Does anyone know how to get his phone reactivated? I can't seem to find anyone that knows how to reinstate his phone.

    Your son will need to contact Alltel's Prepaid Department at 800-335-6401, to go about re-activating service.  Hope this helps!

  • I have an iPhone 4 and under a Pay As You Go plan. Why can't I send picture messages?

    I have an iPhone 4 and I'm paying my bills through the Pay As You Go $50 Monthly Plan. Lately, I couldn't send pictures messages or have wireless access to anyone on my phone. I'm able to send text messages and make calls but can't send picture messages or unable to have wireless internet unless it's under a Wi-Fi. If I'm under a GoPhone plan, what plan should I purchase in order to send pictures and have wireless access to my phone? Should I switch over to the the $65 Monthly Plan? Purchase the Feature Packages? Please help

  • Pay as you go iphone 4s cellular data on or off?

    Hi all
    My son has an iphone 4s on EE pay as you go and we would like to know whether we should have 'cellular data' turned on or off?
    We were told by EE that if cellular data (not sure why it says cellular data, when my iphone 4 says mobile???) is turned on then his 'credit' will go very quickly?!? Which is has done!
    If we have cellular data turned off he then cannot receive iMessages or SMS??? unless he uses WIFI which isnt available when hes out and about?
    If we turn cellular data on (so that he can receive iMessages and SMS) is there an option for his 'credit' not to be used up on data?
    Thanx for any help offered

    iMessage requires a data connection, either WiFi or 3G. MMS requires a cellular data connection, & SMS requires a cellular connection, but not cellular data.
    FYI: An iPhone is designed to always have a data connection, either WiFi or 3G. Trying to manage an iPhone, without a data connection, is kinda like trying to force a square peg in a round hole. Possible? perhaps, but not done easily or effectively.

  • I have an excess balance on my verizon pay as you go plan. If I cancel my plan, what happens to my remaining balance?

    I was looking at switching to a 2yr contract with Verizon instead of my pay as you go. I went into the local corporate store and was told that my balance would not carry over if I switched because my number was ported from a different company and their computer program specifically stated that my balance would not transfer due to this. Since this is the case, If I cancel my pay as you go and switch to a contract, what happens to my money? There is over $100 that is an excess balance on my account and I don't want to lose that. Will I get a check returned to me since it wont transfer?

        lookmanohands,
    We are glad to hear that you are thinking of switching to our contract pricing. If you were to switch from our Pre-Pay and still have a balance the balance would not be able to be transferred. We are unable to refund the balance. We encourage you to use the balance up before you transfer.

  • Upgrade on Family Share Plan Shows Different Dates ?

    I upgraded both phones on my plan exactly 2 years ago this month. My phone (which is the main line) says it's been eligible for an upgrade since September 21 on the other hand the other phone on the plan says it's not eligible for an upgrade until June though they were both upgraded at the same time ? I have an LG EN-V 2 and the other line is a LG Versa. What's the reason for the different dates ?

    The primary line on a Family Share plan is eligible for an annual upgrade after completing 12 months of its 2 year contract.  Secondary lines are only eligible for an upgrade after completing 20 months of the 2 year contract.

  • Pay-As-You-Go account not showing up in Visual Studio deployment

    I am trying to deploy my ASP.NET MVC to my Pay-As-You-Go plan. When I sign into my account (during the publish process in Visual Studio) it doesn't show that I have any subscriptions. I clearly have a Pay-As-You-Go subscription....

  • Pay as you go phones?

    My question is, with pay as you go plans, am I limited only to using the basic phones. Or is there anyway I can use a smartphone of some sort? I wouldn't care which, I just want to get with the times and have a smart phone, however, I can't afford to pay $35+ a month.
    Ideally, I want a smart phone, but only pay as I use my minutes and text messages, and then be able to purchase data usage.
    Is there any way this is possible?
    I'm tired of my current phone and all the basic phones are boring, but I can only afford about $20 a month.

    Prepaid smartphones on Verizon Wireless require a monthly plan starting at $45 per month. Prepaid Phones & Prepaid Plans: Cell Phone Plans - Verizon Wireless.  You might want to check out the other carriers in your area to find out if they have a plan that fits your budget.

  • IPhone 3GS pay as you go

    A friend of mine just gave me her old iPhone 3GS to replace my broken Samsung intensity 2. I have been a long time verizon customer and wish to keep my service with them. I know to upgrade to a smartphone I will need to upgrade to a smart phone pay as you go plan vs the basic pay as you go plan I currently have, but I'm curious if I can even activate to particular phone on the verizon network. I've been looking around online and feel I'm getting conflicting information since the iPhone 3 has already become so outdated for most people. When I turn the phone on it says I need a SIM card. I've never had one with any of my verizon phones, but from what I've seen I can go and ask for one at the store. If getting the 3G LTE SIM card enough to get this phone working with the verizon network?

    Im sorry to say this but it will not work.  The reason why, Verizon Wireless only uses CDMA networks in the United States.  The iphone 3GS (model A1332) works off GSM networks only and has no CDMA compatible radio in the unit.  And even though Sim cards may look the same,  Verizon LTE Sim cards only work on CDMA LTE phones.  the 4G LTE simcards will not function in a GSM only phone without a "CDMA 4G LTE" radio built in the handset. 
    Verizon Wireless will offer international sim cards to be used in a unlocked GSM phone or a compatible world phone ( phones with both CDMA and GSM radios built in )but those sims only work overseas and not in the United States.   The iPhone 4s A1387, and the CDMA iphone 5 A1429 are Apple's examples of world phones that are compatible with Verizon both here in the United States and Overseas.   Hope this helps.
