You can not make phone calls but you can buy a sim card (prepaid or contract) from a phone network company and purchase data to browse the internet from the ipad

Yes, I have never used mine as a prepaid. Once I inserted the new sim card from T-Mobile it works like any other phone.

No, this phone is for contract. Pretty much everything we sell are contract phones and won't work with a prepaid plan. Thank you for your interest,ClaytonMobilekarma

I have never used prepaid plans. A phone dealer can answer this question. If a phone is unlocked, probably can be used with any plan. The phone in the picture looks like it is locked for verizon only.

Yes, that's what we did. Phone was new and works great. Just make sure you don't buy one of those phones that u pay monthly. We made that mistake. Took it to Verizon and they couldn't hook it up.

Amazon needs to update that photo of the bottom of the unit showing the ports. It is misleading people in thinking it can be used as a cellular device. The picture shows there is a socket for a sim card which there is NOT.There is no sim card support for this device so connecting directly to a cellular network is not possible. However, it does have a micro usb port, and wireless. If your 3g services support tethering devices to your phone it should work that way without a problem.

It is not a prepaid phone. You must have a wireless plan that will work with this phone to use it. However, it is just a basic phone and not a smart phone so no data plan is needed.

This particular phone is a regular telephone.you have the option of using it as a regular phone or a Bluetooth device. You can also put it on a prepaid plan...using a Sim card..T-mobil or another one.

Yes! You need to buy a prepaid card from Straight Talk. Mine works fine, but we have noticed with this phone it is a bit slow and it does not do well with the towers in our area. I like the phone, but it is not my favorite.

I have a contract with Sprint. So I was able to activate the phone online through this provider. As for using a prepaid card, I am not sure. It has to be activated somehow before you can use the prepaid card. You may need to do some research on how to do this.

Yes you can. Its just called a prepaid phone because it doesnt come with a contract

There is two prepaid companies that you can connect it to, one is PAGE PLUS and the other one is straight talk because is a 3g phone and a CDMA phone this is not a GSM phone it doesn't use sim card.you can look for both companies in Google they have very good prepaid plans and a very good signal because they work with the Verizon towers.

Yes you can. But only with a contract with Verizon. Prepaid only supports 3g.

The phone is an unlocked at&t; phone. I use Consumer Cellular as my provider. we had to do a little work to load the "4g" to make it work but it was worth it.
