Are all Verizon phones compatible with Verizon prepaid?

I want to use Verizon prepaid, but I don’t really like the phones that (at least, on the website) they say are compatible with the prepaid service. If I bought an unlocked Verizon phone, may maybe I activate it as a prepaid phone?

Thanks-I don’t know much about this kind of stuff.

For the most part. Go into a Verizon store and they’ll be able to tell you. I judge 90% of them are, probably not anything that requires a data plot.

For quick response you can call up their toll free customer care. They would be able to help you the best. They would let you know the current reputation of the compatible phones.

Nope. No Blackberry, Windows Mobile or Palm devices. No smartphones/pdas/pocket pcs. No phones with full html browsers like the Touch Envy. In additional words, not that many cool phones!

I would get Page Plus Cellular. It runs on Verizon prepaid under their own brand name. They have a new 39.95 Boundless talk/text/20 meg plot and a newer 29.95 1200 minutes/1200 text/pic/vid message and 50 meg data plot .

They can use ANY Verizon phone. Including EVERYTHING that Verizon prepaid will not allow. The only limitations: Fixed Verizon phones will have talk/text/mms , no data. Smartphones like Windows Mobile and Palm devices will have it all.

Blackberries only get talk/text.

my mom wants a prepaid t mobile plot
but i dont like any of the prepaid phones that t mobile has
so how may maybe i, for example get one of the additional phones that t mobile has listed and use a prepaid plot for it?

thank you!
also, may maybe i transfer my current prepaid plot (which is t mobile) to another phone that isnt under “prepaid phones”?

simply pop out the simcard, pop it back on to ANY T-Mobile phone, and you’r excellent to go.
