It can be used as a contract phone. My original phone was replaced with this one on contract

On all that i bought i use on my contract accounts.But i think if it got made as a prepay device you cant change that.

I had it as a contract phone for several years up until a year ago. I got a new phone, but I could activate this phone again if I had to.

I used the one we ordered as a contract phone on a month to month basis with no problems.

If you mean by pre-paid as in do you have to pay before they send it to you, then yes. However, if you mean by pre-paid as in do you pre-pay for the minutes before you use it, then No. It is a Verizon contract phone.

You can use it just as a wifi device. It's a pay-as-you-go phone so there is no contract. If you wanted to use it as a phone you would just activate it through Virgin Mobile and then choose a plan that fits you ($35 = 300 minutes/unlimited data + messaging, $45 = 1200 minutes/unlimited data + messaging and $55 = unlimited everything).I used this with my wifi for a month before I switched from my old phone.

Yes. The phone you use doesn't matter as long as it's a Verizon phone, of course. Verizon wants to make sure they keep providing you phone service, that's the real reason for the contract. Good luck if you purchase the phone:-)

Yes, there is no contract. You have to tell Verizon if you don't want the other options. I had an issue with my phone where the front screen turned white and the inside screen was blank. I got it shut off after a couple of tries, left it off for a little bit, then turned it back on. So far it's been working. I really like the phone except for that problem. I don't want a smart phone and this is nice for texting, better than a flip phone.

it means you don't have to renew your contract with Verizon. you must have an account and service already with Verizon to use this phone. In other words it is not a no contract prepaid type phone as far as I know. The phone is a great phone

Good question. I bought one thinking i could use it on my verizon family plan only to be told by verizon that the phone was a pre-paid phone only and could not be activated on my family plan. if you can find out from amazon if the phone is a pre-paid only that's your best bet.

My son bought this phone and he use it with page plus, which is prepay on the Verizon network. I hope that's what you mean by pre-pay.

Yes, this phone can be used on your existing Verizon contract. I just had to go to the Verizon store and have one of the sales reps there program it for me and move all my contacts from my old phone to the new phone. Took only a few minutes for him to do and didn't cost me a thing.

No you can't it says it can be used but no so don't buy it. Don't use a phone that says it is prepaid or no contract phones because it means the same thing look for another Verizon Phone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No, this isn't a pre-paid phone. You have to have it activated by Verizon. They'll assign it a new number or transfer an existing number you have on your old phone.

Yes it does require a contract. Also, let me caution you, we were very disappointed in the phone. We bought it as new and it clearly is not a new phone!

You bet! As long it's a unlocked, cdma phone, you can use it as any pre-paid phone for any carrier.

We bought one like it and we thought it was a contract but it's prepaid for the first 6 months then you can use it as a contract phone.

The phone that I bought was not prepaid. I specifically bought it to use on an existing Verizon account. I generally believe that if the phone is specified "no contract' that it will work on an existing or new Verizon account.
