I already have Verizon all I use is the phone and a little text. Do I need a different Verizon plan to use this phone?

If you don't already have a smart phone, you'll need to upgrade to a data package on verizon to make this phone function.

Rose I think you are asking me about the pre paid plan and if you are you have to use a Verizon prepaid card because the phone is Verizon. I hope this helps you and if I misunderstood your question please let me know. I will say that the phone is very simple to use and is a great phone and service. Denise

yes you will and as long as you already have an account with verizon. you just log in to your account online and go to activate your phone. Took me only 10 min. If not take it to the store and get set up with a plan.

Yes, you will keep your plan. You lose it if you upgrade(get a new phone) from Verizon.

I love this phone! My husband uses it for talk/text only. We also have 3 iPhones on the plan that share data. I can't really say if it requires a data plan as our 4 lines share data. I can only tell you he doesn't use data, perhaps ask Verizon

Did you ever find the answer to this question??? I am trying to upgrade my SECONDARY line & it's forcing me to choose a plan. I still want to stay on the family plan. Can I still purchase this phone as an upgrade? HELP!!!

you can always call verizon and ask if they can use it as a pre-paid im pretty sure they use the same numbers to activate. but i wouldn't know for sure i activated mine with my contract plan.

mine was for a Verizon contract plan, I think I saw that they now offer a prepay plan. I love my little phone, it tough and works great.

It was on the Verizon network and it did not work properly for me. You can get a prepaid plan just make sure you are on the right network. I returned it.

We have 2 of them and use the 30 dollar plan. (This phone runs on Verizon towers if that makes any difference to you).

Yes, I can't think of any reason why you wouldn't be able to either replace an existing phone or add one to an existing contract. Just contact Verizon prior to purchase to double check.

I am also under contract with Verizon and have no problem, but I think my phone was an Intensity i. If you have the actual model number, I believe you can ask Verizon if it is compatible with your plan.

I am unsure. However, I have had Verizon for a while and they have said after my contract I can go to prepaid with the same phone.

Yes you can. I had the same situation. You can actually call Verizon to change phones.

No only Verizon. I had metro and got this instead. I use the text app and I pay 30 a month

My phone was a "post paid" that I put on my existing plan as a replacement one after getting it washed. I believe that they may be available as a prepaid version, but I was only looking for one to use on my existing plan and the description was fairly clear on that. It may also be possible to "convert" one, I am not sure, but I had good luck with talking with the Verizon people on some of these things as they understood that in my case buying a phone from someone else would be the better way for me to go in my situation. (they even suggested that I consider a used phone)

It depends on what you want to do with it. It is unlocked so you should have a choice with your carrier. I have Consumer Cellular, so I can choose. I am pretty sure it is possible to use only voice and text messaging, for example.
