This works in the US, but not w/ a cell carrier contract, but heading to 7-11 and buying one of those teeny prepaid minute mini sim chips?

Unfortunately, the phone that I bought came with defect. The phone will not turn off! I asked for help but did not respond.

We have a "John's Phone" and use AT&T; as the carrier. All we did was take the sim card from our old AT&T-; provided phone and put it in the John's Phone. It works perfectly!

Yes it works just like that. You could also go to any provider that carries prepaid SIM cards, which most do, and use those

Unfortunatly, Cell phone contractors do not use SIM cards for their contract phones. It is really annoying

if they will sell you a sim card i don't see why not. verizon is kind of funny though. i had mine working through straight talk. but it only takes a company to sell you a sim card and service. then you need to be sure you have the right APNs. i had mine working here. then i got something fancier and sent mine to the philippines, where they are also working fine. i suggest you go on verizon's website and see what you can see. any particular reason why you want them in particular? just wondering.

No. I put in my Caribbean sim and it worked just fine. I never put in a US sim.

I did this last month...bought a phone, AT&T; put a sim in it for me on a Go Phone plan. It's a good deal. It should work for anyone.

you may not have issues using this in the US and it had a slot of sim card. Its very old and basic.

Sorry it's not going to work. Check out Verizon prepay MIFI and Table Plans.

I do not think so. According to the description - "Must be activated with an Americas-region SIM"

I don't know. I went to US last month and used the T-mobile's service. It worked.

Go to your Verizon local store and ask them before you purchase it. But,I believed it can work with your prepaid sim card.

Best I can figure it's that you might not be able to use US Sim cards with it. Check with your provider before buying it.

Yes. Mine is being used outside the USA with a sim from a different operator.

I just popped in my SIM card and was good to go. I have AT&T as well. If you have a MicroSIM you should be golden.

No tried at&t; prepaid,but will only work. With contract .at least that's what at&t; told me

Idk about through verizon but it worked for me with a straighttalk $45 card from Walmart or paying with a debit card on the straighttalk website. A tip: I had to buy a SIM card from straighttalk in order for my internet and my mms to work. It only cost around $7 and it fixed it like magic! Oh and you will have to cut down the SIM card which sounds scary but YouTube it because other people have posted about cutting it down. I love my phone! Having to buy a SIM card was totally worth it for having a phone without a contract and that wasn't stupid expensive.

? We have US Cellular. Not sure if they are the same. You can call Virgin Mobile, they should know.

Yes, you will need a full-size SIM from AT&T or T-Mobile (or one of their MVNOs).
