Verizon Prepaid getting LTE?

Verizon Prepaid is Finally Getting 4G LTE, Likely on July 17 | Droid Life
According to the above link, you could get 4GB of LTE for $65 a month, if current Allset pricing plans remain the same.
If the above story is true from the folks at Droid Life...I only hope it the in house Allset in house plans. I would not want PagePlus, Net10, Straight Talk, Tracfone on LTE.
The 3G network is so slow around where I live and if all MVNO's are allowed onto LTE, then LTE will become like that in Philadelphia...totally unusable. I am on a contract for a reason. To get away from the ones who use MVNO's and for LTE.
If the case is going to be that for $65 a month, I get unlimited calling/text, and 4GB of data which would double my current allotment..then I might as well drop my contract and jump onto prepaid. Going to wait until July 17 when it comes out to see what all this is about.

Different carriers use different LTE bands, similar to how AT&T and T-Mobile used to use different 3G bands. You could check the device specifications against Verizon's network (not sure if this is accurate: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks#Americas]), and also check with the MVNO on what they can support.

  • Anyone using Verizon iPhone 5 on GLOBE Philippines get LTE ???

    I've read a few reports that Verizon's A1429 (CDMA) is able to get LTE on Globe Philippines if you get an LTE enabled nano-SIM card and get your account enabled for LTE.  I've tried all of this but still to nothing.  Not sure if Globe has really done the enabling of my account or not. Or if there is a such a thing.
    Other reports have said that only A1429 (GSM) models (Non-North American) can get LTE on Globe Philippines.  That would suck for me.  
    So can anyone using a Verizon iPhone 5 on Globe Philippines network confirm that they can get LTE?
    Thanks.

    I am having a similar problem. I can get phone and text but not internet.
    How did you fix it?

  • 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.

     There are two daily prepaid plans -- 99 cents per day only on the days you make a call or answer a call, verizon to verizon is no extra charge, landlines or non verizon is 10 per minute after you have paid the 99 cents. The text is 10 cents to send and 10 cents to receive. The second plan is 1.99 per day only on the days you use it, This plan after paying the 1.99 is unlimited calling all to all providers. Text is 2 cents to send and 2 cents to receive if you do not have a text package plan.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Verizon Jetpack 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot Nat Type

    Is there any way to change the nat type to open on this bad boy?
    It's a great device and there aren't any problems with it, it does what I need except connect to people I want to connect to.
    I casually use it to play games and I can connect to some people, from here in indiana to all the way down in texas, but my friend down the road, noooopee.
    The only way to connect to him is to have a host connect us so we can never play just us.
    I've tried everything else and I'm almost 100% sure that it is the NAT settings keeping this from working.
    Long story short:
    Can you change the  Verizon Jetpack™ 4G LTE Mobile Hotspot NAT settings?
    If no, why on earth not?

    The only way Port Forwarding can be effective is if the governing firewall approves the network communication in the first place.  The older 3G and 1x networks were well known to allow many custom protocols where as the new 4G network has nearly everything locked down. 
    Theoretically if you can get onto the old networks your port forwarding modifications would work.
    However, VZW has been tightening its grip on the older 3G networks so you may have to wait for a specific IP Assignement before you can have confirmation that it will work.  That may require rebooting the device multiple times until you happen to get assigned a "Good" IP. 
    Not sure why your signin credentials are changing as you switch from one network to another.  The same router admin credentials should not be impacted by these changes.  It should always be admin/admin or something similar by default.

  • Windows Phone was not supposed to get LTE support until Apollo

    "In late 2011, one of the sticking points for Verizon Wireless in broadly adopting Windows Phone was the lack of 4G LTE support. AT&T also took issue with this missing feature as strategically they are looking to offload network congestion to their new high-speed spectrum."
    http://www.wpcentral.com/windows-phone-was-not-suppose-get-lte-till-apollo
    Once again, VZW - help us understand your line in the sand with taking on some new Windows Phone?  "Oh, we are still waiting for Apollo?!?"  Every day on any given WP Forum I see more and more Verizon customers leaving for Pink or AT&T.  The AT&T Stores are having a field day with this information, too!

    So let's see who came up with the 2% growth number for Windows Phone?
    Oh, that would be Strategy Analytics:  http://www.strategyanalytics.com/
    The same Strategy Analytics who came up with:  http://www.strategyanalytics.com/default.aspx?mod=reportabstractviewer&a0=6938
    Written by a doorknob in the UK named Stuart who used to work for Apple (and has no Microsoft exposure):  http://www.strategyanalytics.com/default.aspx?mod=biography&a0=728
    In reality, as a public company, Verizon has not much say in terms of what devices they get to carry.  They can put their own spin on things as they communicate to their board - but it's the board and investor folk who drive the decisions.  Wishful thinking that these investors would read the good things about the Windows Phones.  High customer sat, customer friendly OS, easy to support, low end to high end device options, etc.  Unfortunatly, most of the investors are punch drunk on their Droid cocktails and are currently enjoying a high percent of Verizon Droid customers.  In addition, stupid things that Microsoft did - like the KIN phones - do nothing but leave Verizon investors and board members burn victims.

  • 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. Please access https://community.verizonwireless.com/actions to accept my request and follow me https://community.verizonwireless.com/people/jenniferh_vzw back so you can send me a private message https://community.verizonwireless.com/docs/DOC-1613 with your name so we can begin the process.

  • Nightmare dealing with Verizon Prepaid

    I ordered a CPO IPhone 4 16GB CPO online.  The first time I made a call - to Verizon to activate account- there were issues with the calling feature of the phone, i.e. the receiving party could not or barely could hear me.  What happened next was a Customer Service nightmare.  After days of  calling, getting stuck in the never ending automated loop, getting disconnected, being transferred from dept to dept, being given different info. by different people, I finally arrived at what I BELIEVE to be the correct info.   Verizon will not send a replacement phone for the broken one.  My options are to A) go into my local store and buy another one.  But since the local stores cannot sell the 4, it would cost me another $100 to upgrade to the 4s.  (Please note, Verizon:  Not my fault you sent me a broken phone)  B) Send the phone back to them, have them process it for repair, make any necessary repairs or exchanges, then wait for it to come back to me.  All the while I am without a phone (Again, Verizon, not my fault you sent me a broken phone) C) Order/purchase another phone, activate with my current # (the one I have had for YEARS and just ported into Verizon 2 days ago), and then ship back the broken phone for refund - but OH, YEA! when the broken phone is received at Verizon, they will disconnect the line and I will be issued a new number by Verizon. (Verizon, do you understand it is not my fault you sent me a broken phone?)  The Customer Service I have received over the past few days has been horrible.  I will say, though, that except for the two women I spoke with near the end of this experience (one of which was an Internet Order Sales Manager) everyone has been understanding of my frustration. (Two of them got frustrated themselves after getting the same experience with they tried to help me by transferring me to the right dept and getting stuck in the same loop of auto system and transfers.)  I have told all of them that my frustation it not with them, but with the Verizon Prepaid system.  The Manager I spoke to actually accused ME of being unprofessional - after everything I have been through with Verizon??? I'm unprofessional??  I have opted for option #4) port my number back to Straighttalk Plan with Verizon towers, who has always done what they said and given me good customer service, and who I only left in order to get a "good deal" on a CPO Iphone 4.  Now I am at Verizon's mercy while I wait to see if Verizon will charge me a restocking fee.  Before you buy a Prepaid Verizon service, I suggest you check them out Straighttalk FIRST, or USCellular.  You don't hear a lot about them but they have as good a coverage as Verizon or better, at least in my area, have excellent customer service, good prices, AND they have Iphones. I was with them for over 10 yrs previously. Now that Verizon no longer has the monopoly on IPhones, there are a lot of good options available. This has been a nightmare and has cost me 3 days of my life (did I mention that it wasn't my fault Verizon sent me a broken phone?), yet Verizon feels no responsibility to make this right.  Their policies and endless automated loops, which sometimes end with "sorry you are having trouble.  Goodbye" after being in the loop and on hold for eternity- indicate what little respect they have for their Prepaid Customers.

  • 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?

  • Working with Verizon to get blocks wired for fios, only to be ignored!

    I own an audio video home automation company for 12 years now. Since fios came out I have been recommending it. I have 2 square blocks in Brooklyn,NY with no cablevision and no fios, my customers have to deal with DSL and Direct TV, two of the biggest nightmares for a installation company.
    For almost two years now I have been walking around with Verizon engineers,sales reps,wiring contractors for Verizon,I've even had the home owners sign off on the necessary paperwork to install fios in the back yards for fios. I did all the leg work. All for my customers.
    The people I've been in touch with will no longer return my calls, its really not very nice. So I had decided that if this post doesn't get a Verizon big wigs attention I will personally walk cablevision through the process and block Verizon from getting onto the property that has the entrance to the 1st pole on the block and the manhole for the underground conduits that hit the 1st pole since it sit on my customers property, and they'll listen to me because they are **bleep** off with the promises that were made to them by Verizon.
    1st snag in the install was the strike, then the 2nd was hurricane sandy which are over a year apart.
    Don't know what else to do besides telling my customers to avoid fios. Even though its a great service.
    I don't know what the next step is.

    Smartphones are fun/great/choose-your-own-adjective, but for a number of tasks they are much less capable than a laptop.  So, where I am sure of wifi, especially at home or work, I would prefer to use a laptop/tablet  Smartphones come into their own, in my opinion, where you can use  them when you wouldn't have a computer.  I love using my phone on CDMA and GSM data when out, but the only time I would use it on wifi at home for instance is when updating the apps or something like that.

  • 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.
