I've just returned it to the seller because I've misunderstood about the word "no contract". I'ld like to buy a iphone for international using but that iphone have no sim card and not in use for GSM but CDMA network only.

Don't buy from this person. Received a bad iphone and they did not respond to me. But to answer your question... If the phone is unlocked you simple by a SIM card(either a pay as you go or a plan) and you insert it, and the phone will work. This phone is not unlocked with no plan or service.

hello, I ordered this iphone for my daughter. You have to buy a SIM CARD for it. she is still able to use it just fine.I was also able to activate it through Verizon.

No, I don't believe that you can. Verizon uses a 4G SIM for their prepaid plans. I would contact them directly to confirm. Thanks.

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 what company you are with...Verizon has several plans you can choose from. I would not say they are wonderful, especially if you use a lot of data, but I dunno your budget. Personally this phone was really bad quality, I would not recommend it t anyone! Also the internet and the many of the apps are out of date since this model is older.

Makesure it is nor the prepaid one. If it is the answer is no. I had problems with the phone and actually ened up getting a refurb unit from verizon. Much easier to deal with.

Correct. It is not a prepaid phone. It will work with your Verizon wireless plan, you just need to activate it

I have a contract so I can't tell you if it will work with a no contract plan. I do know that Verizon will not activate a prepaid phone on contract unless the phone has at least 6 months of use as a pre paid. I tried buying a new pre paid and having it added to my contract and it was a no go. I would call verizon customer service and ask them.

I have been using the phone with a prepaid monthly plan. (Costs me about $54.) I would call their customer service regarding phone cards. And while this is generally a great phone, Verizon customer service SUCKS in my experience. And on top of that, I was actually told by a Verizon sales clerk at one of their stores that prepaid phones utilize fewer cellular towers, which may explain why my phone has little to no reception in an area, while my husband's T-Mobile prepaid phone was fine.

It will depend on the type of SIM card verizon uses. If I were you I'd ask someone at a Verizon store. I know the iPhone 4's don't from experience. They use a different kind of SIM card. Double check that before purchasing.

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.

This is not being sold as prepaid. Only a call to Verizon can tell you for sure. The term "no contract" in this case means only that we do not supply service only the phone.

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

I bought it before i went to USA. After you buy it and know the serial number you will have to activate it online with AT&T; and subscribe to a package. Then fill it with money (many websites offers it). Then you can use it to make calls and use data with your iphone. This site detailes the steps for you: http://support.mobipassport.com/usa/

Don't know if can be a prepaid phone but the one that I bought off of amazon didn't need a contract because it was not given to me by Verizon. I was not able to get it insured through my wireless company ( Verizon) because I iot it from amazon and not them.

I use mine as a contract phone. I would guess it could be used a a pre-paid, it is all the same system- just check with carrier to make sure of type.
