I don't see why Verizon charges $.99 a day! (Even if you don't use your phone). That is the craziest thing I've ever heard of! The service is good and the phones are cool though.

Nice phone plan. I had Cellular One and was paying about $40 a month, I figure I'm still coming in under that with Verizon, and have a much nicer phone than what our local CellOne people have. One major disappointment for me: It was not made clear to me before buying that email, text, and pic messaging are only available in certain areas in which I'm not. I'm still not able to find anyplace that tells me where I can go nearby to use those features

I like my phone a lot. I'm also addicted to vcast at this point so I could never see going with anything else. I have the easypay plan and its great.

I had it just over a year. Got good service. It always worked. But unless you do a lot of in calling and night calling I fell it has the worst plan. My biggest turn off is paying 69 cents a minute after the 99 cent a minute will roaming.

I like the phone,the coverage and the good customer service. I have 2 things I don't like about the prepaid service (1). You are charged a .99 cents access fee per day regardless of if whether you use the phone or not(if you buy a $15 card it will eat it up in 15 days )(2).If you buy a calling card and you don't put your minutes in within 60 days you lose your money.

the service is really good i have to admit but it cheated me out of my money one min. it would say i have all the time in the world the next i would have like 2mins in one month i probaly spent over $100 the phones are expensive to. that and the free night calling never worked for my i would call somebody at 10 pm and it would say i had 15 mins remaining

Too costly, Verizon nickels and dimes you with added charges, plus roaming fees and daily fees (whether you use the phone or not). I wish I had known how evil Verizon was before I bought my RAZR phone (that only works with Verizon). Did I mention how much I now hate Verizon?

Had verizon prepay,way too expensive,way overly priced,got rid of them,paying a dollar a day when you do not use the phone is terrible,a great rip off.I went with t-mobile to go,thats a great company.A 50 dallar card you get 400 minutes,and 100 dallar card you get 1000 minutes,thats only 13 cents for the 50 dallar card,and 10 cents for a 100 dallar card a minute,no one company out there can beat that,thats a fact of life.

I have an older Verizon prepaid plan and am very happy with it. Regardless, I would not buy this plan. With Verizon's rates, they apparently don't wnat to be in the Prepaid space. A 99 cent daily fee is steep.

I advice everyone to convert to page plus cellular, it is the same network and rates cheaper and no daily charges. Page Plus Cellular the most affordable prepaid nationwide, Minutes never expire as long you buy one card every 120 days.

I got this phone thinking that I'd use the free IN calling to talk with my girlfriend on the Verizon network. I also liked the fact that I could get free nights and weekends too. However, this plan is WAAAAY too expensive: 99 cents a day means a minimum of 30 dollars a month, which is almost the base price of most regular, non-prepaid calling plans. I spent hella money trying to keep my account active, all after shelling out $70 for a mediocre phone. After 2 months, I could no longer hear people who I was speaking to on my phone, and after going to a Verizon store they said that they would not replace it because it was not coveed under any warranty. Super. Not reccomended at all. Go with T Mobile orat least Boost (which gets a bad rap, but is actually not that bad).

I have the old Verizon prepaid plan (circa 2003). I like that I can refill via the web at the $15.00 minimum. The per call and per text messaging can be a bit pricey though. I recommend looking on eBay or craigslist for an old Verizon prepaid phone (pre-InPulse plan)

I love verizon wireless from the bottom of my heart. They are the greatest network in the world. If they just stop dropping my calls then we won't have a problem. The service does make me mad sometimes but u can't go wrong with verizon. They are great. I have a plan with them but when my plan is over, I'm going to prepaid. Love the phones, just tired of paying that bill every month.

I just got it today, and I love it! The pricing isnt that bad. For 100 min, unlimited nights and weekends and unlimited in-calling, its 40 dollars a month. I mean, you could probably get 5 times the min with a real plan, but not all of us could get a real plan. Im 18, and have zero credit. Sprint wanted a 500 dollar deposit. So, this is not a bad alternative. Plus you have access to Verizons large online services. I have the razr, and I really do like it. I would reccommend this prepaid company. I would only steer elderly peple away, the people who will use it once a month, not take advantage of the services. Its a good alterntive to a contract. But all you have to give them is your zip code!!!!

Verizon 99cents/day, even when not using the phone, plus minutes is the greediest prepaid plan. And they charge you big bucks for "roaming" in areas not charged their other plans. Switched to T-Mobile $100 prepaid plan.

I did get one for my teenage son, but realized he wasn't using it every day and it wasn't worth it. A lot of Boys just don't talk alot on cell phones.. just quick calls to friends. I got out of it quickly....Cellular one had a better deal...no daily charge and we could choose any phone in the store (mind we paid for it) but it was so much cheaper than have a cell contract and we come out ahead!! Do the math if your teenager can use the regular phone at home..and use the phone texting and calling at school and out once in awhile. It was cheaper for us to let him use the home phone and just have prepaid for running around!!

I think they get you with the daily fee, they are making more money off you to further develop the monthly plans. What marketing strategy. They take the daily rip-off fee from prepaid and put it into regular monthly plans.What suckers we are???????

I hate the fact that they charge .99 cents per day! I don't even use it sometimes, and I am still .99 cents shorter every day. I hate the fact that by 15 your phone is out of minutes. Which means you are spending about $30-$45 every month. If I were to spend that much I'd be better of with a contrat.

I believe Verizon is the worse at prepay. They do have good service, but the amount one has to pay a month to keep up their account is rediculus. They charge $0.99/day wether or not you use the phone. A 15 dollar card will last at a maximum of 15 days. Altell only charges $0.75/day and allows you to choose your account options. You get to choose two from: free nights and weekends, free texting, free mobile to mobile, and free favorite number. If you are looking for a plan that is cheaper on the money, and yet good on the overall plan, Altell is the way to go. Before I would pay over $45 dollars for one month of Verizon. $45 on Altell gives you TWO months! Now, which one sounds better?

I've had Verizon Prepaid for over a year now and I always have service. The only thing that i don't like about verizon is the daily fee.

verizon is a joke compared to other phone companies.... they nickel and dime your wallet and service areas suck.. and remember that you cant add 3 lines to one name unless $400 dollars falls out of your butt

I think Verizon is really taking "BIG Time" advantage of mostly teens .Also I'm not crazy about contract service either!

I have the old pre-paid plan where you just add $15.00 per month and no roaming fees. However, My phone recently got damaged so now I don't know if I have to get the new prepaid plan.

I like verizon but they are expensive it would be ok if they had a text pagkege like tmobile is 1cent per text or 1000 text for 10.00 month but verizon knows teens are going to come to them because you can choose any phone in store for prepaid and other plans you cant

If you are the world`s biggest sucker than you will buy a verizon prepaid. first of all, the selection of phones is very limited,and the features on those phones hardly have anything desirable for the price (except for the razr) and why do most of their phones have the same clamshell design? on top of that, they charge $.99 per day EVEN IF YOU DO NOT USE IT!!! so that means if you buy a $15.00 top up card, you will run out of minutes in fifteen days, and thats assuming you dont talk on it AT ALL during those fifteen days. AT&T go phone (previously cingular) doesn`t charge you $1.00 a day if you do not use it, so basically, dont buy verizon prepaid or tracfone, unless you want to get ripped off.

I love verizon. I had a plan with my family and i loved it!!!! But they took my phone so i was thinking of getting a pre-paid one. I'm a text-aholic tho and in prepaid u get ripped off because of that. If only verizon got a plan for texts, then i'd love them. For now, i'll check on alltel or t-mobile. :(

What a joke. A 99 cent daily access fee even if I don't use my phone. Bloodsuckers. Look for my phone out on ebay soon. I'm dumping this piece of crap carrier.

Ok I like to text! && it charges me like 10 cents per message recieved and sent! They should have unlimited text like cricket and pay $5.00 a month! That would be better. I like the unlimited calling after 9 but still texting is a better option because people tend to text people more often! Like its a good thing for when You need to tell somebody something instead of calling them and running up your minutes.

I'm a #1 fan of verizon wireless. i read the reviews in here and most are hung up on the (INpulse) pay as you go's $0.99 a day service charge. If you are not happy with the $0.99 charge a day on the INpulse plan then switch to verizon wireless pay as you go plan called (EASY PAY). There is no daily chage for the plan and its much more simple and just as reliable service as the INpulse or contract plans just less expensive. I kicked my brother off my plan becouse he ran my contract cell through verizon over $550 dollars in one month. So i set him up with the EASY PAY plan for $70 a month for 700 min with unlimmited in calling and all the reg jazz. He used his old verizon phone from my contract plan for the easy pay. $78.00 was all the cost was to get him going. They also offer a $50.00 a mo. plan for 350 min. I't was painless and simple and verizon is the most reliable. I agree I WOULD NEVER PAY $0.99 monthly charge for the INpulse plan. GO WITH THE EASY PAY much cheaper and just as reliable.

Good coverage. Impule- Not good for the .99c daily access fee unless u r doing 2 use ur phone everyday. u get unlimited nights after 9pm. The eay pay monthly is good u have 2 put money on ur phone once a month or u lose ur monthly minutes. Verizon has just came out with 3 new impulse plans, it is not advertized as of yet on the web site. call and ask about them. i know the Core impulse is .99c on the days u use the phone, but u don't get unlimited at 9pm.

Great Coverage, Never dropped a call. I've been on both sides of the playing field (inpulse and easypay). Easypay is so much better, and cheaper. Verizon just came out with Power Inpulse for 2.99 a day, only on days you use it, 2 cent calls to everyone with the ever popular m2m and nights after 9. You have 2 talk 2 someone @ verizon 2 get this plan!!

I had the Verizon Inpulse Plan that deducted 99 cents from your account each day, including days when you don't use the phone. I was thinking of switching to T-Mobile ToGo b'cuz the 99 cent a day charge on the Verizon Inpulse Plan was leaving me broke. Thank God that I've found this site before I switched to T-Mobile ToGo. Verizon now offers FOUR Inpulse PrePay plans!!! There's the Inpulse plan we're all used to (the plan that deducts 99 cents a day for your account even on days when you don't use the phone), there's the Inpulse Core Plan (all calls are 10 cent all day long and there's a 99 cent fee-this fee is deducted from your account ONLY on days you use the phone, the same as AT&T's Go Phone Prepaid plan), there's the Inpulse Plus plan (a $1.99 fee is deducted from your account ONLY on days you use the phone. This plan also includes 5 cent texting, m2m, night minutes and all other call are 5 cents a minute), and the Inpulse Power Plan (this plan includes night minutes, m2m, 2 cent texting and all other calls are 2 cents a minute. There's a $2.99 access fee deducted from your account but ONLY on days when you use the phone). I've just signed up for the Inpulse Plus Plan this morning and I'm happy I did. You won't find this information on Verizon's website. You'll have to call customer service for details. Drop the old Inpulse Plan and switch to 1 of Verizon's new Inpulse plans. You'll be happy you did and you'll save money.
