I have always had a TRACFONE. There is hardly anywhere that I have not been able to use my phone. I think they use the same towers that everyone uses. If you don't talk very much, this would be a good plan. You would have one year of service. You would get 400 minutes. When you buy a TRACFONE, some will double your minutes and some will triple the minutes that you buy. You never lose any service time or the minutes you buy. You have to watch at the end of the year and buy another card "before" your year of service runs out. You will keep your minutes. If you were to have to buy another phone for some reason, all of you minutes and time will roll over to the new phone. Now, if you want to have a better camera, "more mega pixels", you will have to buy one of the more expensive cameras. You will have invested $100 +- for the service and minutes plus whatever you spend on the phone. For one year that's all you will spend. Better than $60 a month. :) After your first year, you will only have the expense of a new card. :) Hope this helps

I just got my E71-2 and it's BEAUTIFUL! I went to the local ATT store to get the Medianet Unlimited plan for $15, and was told that I would also need a need a compatible plan and phone to get this service. The lowest priced plan is the Nation 450 w/Rollover® Minutes @$40 and that they could not guarantee that I would receive the Medianet full services for my my Nokia Phone Model and local area code. Anyone have the same problem or have an alternate solution? Hey thanks for the info ... it has been very useful.

I have this phone and I am on the shrinkage plan. I am now paying $40/monthly (bcause its a smartphone, otherwise it would have been $35) for unlimited everything. U should b able to transfer your plan. I didn't have a smartphone b4 ZTE that's why in my shrinkage plan I continued same payment but i reached point where I can't go lower than $40. If u don't have shrinkage plan I suggest u consider it to c if it works 4 u. Phone is great! I love mine.

The device does NOT come with pre-paid service. You'll still need to arrange for that. I know it will run on the Verizon system. Don't know about any others. I use a $50/month plan that provides enough for general work. Something like 5 Gbytes. I rarely go over 1 Gbyte or 2. But, I save watching videos and listening to streaming radio until I'm on unlimited internet access at home.

They typically will charge you 10$ a month for internet, when I had this phone. Otherwise if you can get around not getting a data plan (the 10$ was as low as I could get them to go), they'll charge you by how much data you use (which can get pretty pricy!!)

I'm not sure Rose. That's probably a better question for the people at Page Plus. It's been a great phone though, and I have a similar pay-as-you-go plan through Verizon (no contract/$50 a month for unlimited phone text and web). For an extra $10 a month I'd go with Verizon... just my opinion.

No and any one who would tell you otherwise is a lier! I worked for Verizon for a very long time. This device and the other they carried can not be flashed to be used as a GSM based device. And this device is before dual band . The device can be only bought and used as a 1. Month to Month as part of your Family share plan no contract and if memory is correct $20.00 per month which uses existing data you have. 2. OPTION is alone which start new service with it have no contact and the cost is $ 50.00 5 GB or $80 for 10 GB but that price could be wrong . Price plans change . Then there is Per paid . Best I got for you. Hope that helps. Best this to do is call Verizon with the model number . Or go to see a rep you trust. But the device I bought from seller on here worked fabulous an still works over year later.

Hello Katie, I bought this phone from Amazom.com last year November 2013 and its video call works very well. It has 5.0 mega pixels for the front camera and 13.0 mega pixels for the rear camera. I have used it several times for video calls on Skype, Viber and Tango and it was smooth. I am really glad i bought this phone. If you are interested in this phone just go for it. It's a money worth phone.

Virgin's "Beyond Talk" plan starts at $35/month (although I'm grandfathered at $25 :) which includes 300 min of talk time (plenty for me but maybe not if you're a big talker) and has unlimited texting and data (that means INTERNET!) So the easy answer to your question is NO UPGRADES NECESSARY. However, they just started throttling data once you go past 2.5gig. But it resets each monthly pay period. And that's a fair amount of data IMHO. Anyway, if you're considering this phone/plan then you must be looking for a rock-bottom price for a good (not great) service. It delivers. But if you want truly HUGE amounts of data and a cutting edge phone then you'll have to look elsewhere . . . and pay at least 3 times as much!

I used this phone with Page Plus service. They utilize the Verizon network and offer a more affordable package.

I found Lycamobile.com to be the cheapest long term solution. I bought the SIM from Amazon for 1 cent. Their incoming texts are free and only 4 cents to send; so effectively 2 cents per text since the alarm system sends out a confirmation text after receiving one. You keep your number forever as long as you have a balance and you have some type of activity once per 90 days (a text message counts). I originally used H2O, but they require a minimum $10 recharge every 90 days, effectively making your service $40 per year. Whereas with Lyca mobile, your cost per year can be as low as $10. Of course, it depends on how much activity your system gets. I found Lycamobile.com to be the cheapest long term solution. I bought the SIM from Amazon for 1 cent.

I canceled my order from amazon a week ago and placed it with mobilecityonline and after a little glitch where my shipping address wasnt on file with my credit card company. but i got the phone, its awesome a bit bigger than i thought it would be but so far does pretty much everything i expected it to be. the edge on it appears to be faster than that of the w810, whats great is i can actually do video conferencing (ichat one way) using my phone as a dial up modem. and its actually clear, not choppy. so its pretty good. also i bought a 1gb micro card from sony's web store, it was the cheapest i could find em. it was only 59$over all a great phone I canceled my order from amazon a week ago and placed it with mobilecityonline and after a little glitch where my shipping address wasnt on file with my credit card company. but i got the phone, its awesome a bit bigger than i thought it would be but so far does pretty much everything i expected it to be. the edge on it appears to be faster than that of the w810, whats great is i can actually do video conferencing (ichat one way) using my phone as a dial up modem. and its actually clear, not choppy. so its pretty good. also i bought a 1gb micro card from sony's web... » Read More I canceled my order from amazon a week ago and placed it with mobilecityonline and after a little glitch where my shipping address wasnt on file with my credit card company. but i got the phone, its awesome a bit bigger than i thought it would be but so far does pretty much everything i expected it to be. the edge on it appears to be faster than that of the w810, whats great is i can actually do video conferencing (ichat one way) using my phone as a dial up modem. and its actually clear, not choppy. so its pretty good. also i bought a 1gb micro card from sony's web store, it was the cheapest i could find em. it was only 59$over all a great phone « Show Less

There are some options if you can limit yourself to wi-fi only or limited use. Lycamobile has excellent pay as you go rates if you don't plan on using data (T-mobile only so only 2G speeds). There is a 2000 min for $45/year on AT&T's GoPhone with no data. Ptel and H2O might worth looking at as they have some interesting pay as you go products and they are AT&T. Data is expensive generally on pay as you go though. But, yeah Cricket is probably the best deal.

Stores will always be more expensive. I suggest going to Verizon, playing with the phones, and talking to the reps, then ordering online. Even verizonwiress.com will get you better deals than their own store. Also check out places like Costco or Sam's. Depending on where you work you can get 10%-25% of your minutes/data only (not entire bill like taxes or text messaging).http://b2b.vzw.com/employee/employeediscount.html

You just buy the phone from Amazon... I chose Amazon because I have Prime and the price was low... or buy from Verizon then choose a pre-pay. I use Anytime Minutes which is $0.99 a day (only when you use the phone) and $0.10 per minute, nothing else. This suited me but there are other plans as well... just go to Verizon and look at pre-paid and live chat with a rep and they'll explain it fully.
