Phones compatible for prepaid plans

My Samsung intensity is messing up. And I'm wondering if I get a used phone from a friend if it would work on the prepaid plan.
What phones can be used besides the original prepaid phones?

Here are the phones listed on Verizon's site that you can use on prepaid. I know 2 old phones that you can use on prepaid & that is the Env2 and Samsung U740. Both have been discontinued, but you can still get it from other places

    You can buy Applecare anytime before the 1 year warranty expires, so you could leave that to his discretion if you wanted, and he'd have 1 year to consider it.
    You can save ~$30 on the mini if you qualify for an educational or corporate discount. Office 2004 costs ~$145 with educational discount.

  • How to keep phone number on prepaid plan if you drop service for 1-2 months and then resume?

    Impossible to get thru to Verizon chat for over 8 hours!  :-(
    When I signed up for prepaid plan on Iphone (49 monthly, no annual contract), I was told I could keep my phone number even if I dropped service for a month or two.  Verizon would charge $100 to 'reserve' my phone number, so I would not lose the number - so they would not recycle it out to another phone.
    I don't see where to pay the $100 and for this payment to be used for reserving the number so I dont lose it.  Iff I add $100 it just looks like I paid for 2 months, I dont see a way for this to be applied to keeping the number.  It would just be applied to the monthly amount.
    And there is no way to get a live person on Chat :-(
    Would really appreciate your help pls.
    Loads of thanks,

    At $49/month, I do not see the difference between just paying your monthly costs for 2 months and not using the phone or paying $100 to reserve your number. The end result is the same, but in the first you could always start using the phone if you needed it.
    $100 to reserve a number for 2 months is just ridiculous.

  • Is Verizon attempting to get customers to abandon basic phone services for data plans?

    I was just in the Verizon store to pay my bill and while there I wanted to verify my upgrade eligibility date.  My husband and I have a shared plan with him having a basic phone and I have a smart phone with a data plan.  Due to a need to upgrade phones last year I used his upgrade eligibility date to go from a basic phone to a mart phone.  At that time I was told that when the time that I was eligible to update my phone he would be able to use that date, which he did.  The next time we are eligible to update will be in Feb. but since we had switched the dates last year, I was told that if I wanted to update this year at his time, we would be charged an additional $30 per month for a data plan even though we would still have 1 basic phone and only 1 smart phone.  In essence we will be paying for 2 smart phones and have the benefit of only 1.  Does Verizon think that this is good customer service and that it will foster customer loyalty?

    It is true that if you switch lines and upgrade with a smartphone, but then add a basic phone back on that line you will be charged $30 per month for data since you used that line to upgrade to a smartphone, and the data costs are part of the payback for the higher price of the smartphone.
    However, that is not what you are doing, and I have not heard that if you use an upgrade to get a basic phone, you still have to pay $30 even if that is a transfer from an upgrade eligible line that has a smartphone.
    I honestly think you were given wrong information and they misunderstood the new policy. This is one situation I have not seen yet, so will await others to give input, including any Verizon representatives.

  • Can i use my old phone with verizon prepaid plans

    I bought a prepaid gophone from AT&T some months ago. But now I want to test how good Verizon's coverage is. Can I use this old phone I bought from AT&T's website (a Pantech Link) with Verizon's pay as you go plan? Or do I have to buy a phone from Verizon?
    Thanks,
    Timothy

    Verizon Wireless and ATT use two different networks for their voice services. The GSM phone from ATT won't work on the CDMA network used by Verizon Wireless. You need a Verizon Wireless branded device.

  • I am trying to get my phone activated for Prepaid, but when I try to register my phone with Verizon the FIRST thing it asks me for is my phone number... but I don't even have one.

    How am I supposed to give them my phone number when I haven't even activated my phone yet? I just want to get this phone activated ASAP.

    you're phone number should be in the phone settings.

  • Re: How to keep phone #on prepaid plan if u drop service for 2 months, then resume?

    Re: How to keep phone number on prepaid plan if you drop service for 1-2 months and then resume?
    Thanks for the replies !
    I pasted in the link to the discussion I started earlier.  Dont see a way to respond to replies.  If there is a way to do this, would love to know pls!
    I may want to drop the monthly service for 2 months or more. So the offer to reserve a number for $100 is actually more appealing than paying 49 monthly for more than 2 months.  I just cant find a way to pay it that doesnt get lost in monthly payments
    I have tried the cust service number for pre paid.  It's menu driven, no option at all to speak with anyone, and no option that matches my question.  It's nothing more than a set of text that is accessed by the telephone.  One way communication, no chance to get any help :-(  Disappointing.  And Chat is still busy :-(
    Thanks for reading and any tips!

    If you don't get the option to reply then refresh and log back in, your login most likely timed out.
    As for calling in I just called

  • What is the reason contract phones cannot be used on a prepaid plan?

    I originally posted this question in the Basic Phones forum, but I think that may have been the wrong place to ask this.
    I am interested in activating a phone on the $50 basic phone prepaid plan, but the phone I tried to activate would not work.  It was the Casio Ravine 2 C781.
    I already know that contract phones will not work on the prepaid plan.  I also have already spoken with two customer service reps, and they were helpful, but they could not answer my questions.
    What is the actual reason that basic feature contract phones will not work on the prepaid basic plan?  Is it the PTT feature?
    The Ravine 2 was new with a clean ESN, and it's just a basic phone.  I don't blame anyone except myself, but I would like to avoid this in the future. btw, I gave the Ravine to my mom and dad who are on a contract plan, and it is working great.
    One of the reps I spoke with said that this may change in the near future, and that phones like the Ravine 2 may work on the prepaid plan soon.  Does anyone know if this is true?
    To make things more confusing, I just read an older post that states if a contract phone like the Ravine is activated for at least 6 months, it then can be activated on a prepaid plan.  Is there any truth to this?
    Finally, I understand that there are some basic flip phones available that I can purchase like the Revere 2 and the Gusto 2, but I prefer the quality of the Ravine 2.  I need the rugged phone capability due to my work environment.
    Thanks for your time.

  • Im looking for a cheep prepaid plan.

    I use to have a family Verizon plan but can't afford it now so Im looking at the prepaid ones. I only need one phone and I really only use texting ALOT so a unlimited plan would be nice. I don't need web access but I would defiantly use it. And I can't pay more then $20-25 a month.so I guess I just need help finding the right plan. any suggestions will help. and! I already have a Verizon inactive phone can I buy minutes/a plan for the old phone?

    As long as the old phone you have is a feathure phone and not a Smart Phone is should be  able to be used as a prepaid call customer service just to double check 1-888-294-6804.  You can get an unlimited texting plan for $20.00 that would cover verizon and other service providers there is a $10.00 text plan for verizon to verizon unlimited texting. If you you think at some point you would want to use the cell for voice you can buy the $30.00 plan  which is good cor 90 days and use the 25 cents per minute plan, you would have to add $20.00 text package every month. They do have just text packages which customer service can explain to you when you call to verify that that your old cell will work with the new prepaid plan. You will have to pay $25 or $35 to reactive the old phone.

  • Buying a phone on eBay to use with Alltel prepaid plan

    I have a great old Alltel prepaid plan.  I want to buy a phone that has a qwerty style keyboard to use with it soI can text more easily.  Verizon doesn't offer one.  I was thinking about looking for an older style phone on eBay.
    Any suggestions?  Or warnings?
    Tx Linda

    I just wanted to let anyone reading this know my solution.
    I bought a new Verizon prepaid Samsung Intesity U450 phone from eBay for $60.  It's important to get a PREPAID phone.
    Activate it using by calling Verizon with it, not using the website.  The website will only give you an option to choose a Verizon calling plan even though you have selected earlier that you want to replace your phone on your existing plan.
    *** IF YOU CHOOSE A VERIZON PLAN YOU CANNOT GO BACK TO YOUR ALLTEL PLAN ***
    Lastly, I found Verizon cutsomer service very good if you contact them by email.  I could never reach a person using the telephone number and received incorrect information at the Verizon stores.
    Thanks to everyone who shared there advice!

    Hi anu,
    Apple provides no downgrade path for the iOS. You need to check your setting and do some troubleshooting (do a search of this forum for suggestions). I have an iPhone 4, and I am running iOS 7.1.1 with no issues.
