It works Joyce for texting since it open and closes on two different sides but it flips open for a call and mine lasted forever until I dropped it into the dishwater but have dropped it numerous times and never had a problem with it.

It seldom worked for me. Very poor antenna. 4-6 hour battery life. If I wasn't staring at the Verizon Cell tower it was near useless. However when I did have line of sight to the cell tower and used it plugged into power it wasn't too bad.

To me this phone was designed for texting, especially since it has a flip screen with different keyboards. If I were you I would look into a basic phone.

I'm not certain by what post paid means. It doesn't have pre-paid service..that much I know. If you're looking a simple phone for calling purposes only, this should work. You don't have to use the texting feature and its not a smartphone...no accessing the internet with this phone. I cant remember if it was tied to Verizon though; I purchased it as a gift for a friend who uses Verizon. You should check to see if its unlocked...you know, not tied to a particular service company. Also, check the companies like Verizon to see if you can get calling only (no text) service. Maybe Page Plus can help you with that. Do your research online and don't hesitate to call companies for more information. I'm not certain by what post paid means. It doesn't have pre-paid service..that much I know.

I had the phone without a data plan but it has a very rudimentary 'browser' if you could even call it that... I haven't used it in years but I don't remember it being worth anything internet wise. However maybe the service you get could help prevent any internet usage by not allowing data..

I work for Verizon Wireless, this phone is considered a multimedia phone so the data is "optional". If you are trying to activate via the web site & don't want the data plan choose the opt. for pay per use if you are on an older plan. You can also contact Customer service to activate without one & a data block can be added.

Yes , the reason I got this phone was that I did not want a "smart phone" and monthly fee for a data package. You can use this as a basic phone , but has an awesome camera, and easy texting :)

I do not use a pre-paid card with my phone. I have consumer cellular which uses a SIM card.

Yes you would need a data plan as this particular phone does not allow you to have wi-fi capability. I hope this will help your decision.

You can put your at&t; sum card in this phone and it will work without having to renew your contract or activation fees. All other data plans and charges are separate and depend on your plan.

I believe it's free, although sometimes it will work through your phone, so yes if use your phone you will need a data plan.

I used the pay as you go 10 cents per minute plan. I did not register it as a 'smart' phone since I did not want data. I already had a sim card for the plan and simply transferred the card into this phone.

Yes. It's an empty phone with no plan now. you can use for family plan or add pre paid service. However I'm very unhappy with it, I dropped it after 3 days.

It depends on your service plan. I use the phone for texting without a problem and don't have a data plan on my phone Contract

It will only work with the $50.00 unlimited calling/texting & internet.which is a pay as u go monthly plan.

It is not a prepaid phone and should work with your family plan. I loved mine and it was one of 2 used on the verizon network. Still have it for a spare. You also don't need a data plan with it.

It should work. But I can tell u the phone people are going to try and discourage u from this phone. And tell u they are trying to do away with these phone. Because thats what they tryed on me. Just tell them this is what u want and that is what there going to do...

OK..... You need to buy a phone without wifi. Also you need a plan that offers talk and text only.

Hi Akoua, yes it will work with Simple as this services uses T-Mobile to access the network. You'll have to get a SIM card from them to use in the phone. This phone only can use 3G data, not 4G. It's worth looking around to compare rates, since you're going to be using either the T-Mobile or AT&T network connection no matter what SIM you are using. I use TruPhone SIM, it's 11 cents/min no contract and I just top up as needed. I use WiFi for data so that costs me nothing. The great thing about the phone is you can pop in a new SIM when you're traveling around the world. TruPhone works nice for me because I visit England and I can get a local cell phone number for British countries via Truphone for $8 a month, no contract, so I just get a local number as needed and cancel when I return home.
