its great its the best prepaid around! i have unlimited texting and free mobile to mobile and nights and weekends too.dont get at&t go phone prepaid it sucks switch to verizon inpulse its better

yes yo ucan activate any verizon phone on inpulse plans.just dial *228 or *611 from that phone or go to there site online and activate it on prepay yourself free,make sure you have the ESN or MEID # wrote down,dont go to a verizon store and activate it becuz they will tell you no it cant be on prepaid just try it yourself and see if it works

Did you know that you cannot activate the LG Dare with the inpulse plan at all? Well i think that sucks. I think you should be able to activate any Verizon phone on the impulse plan.

I have tried contract phones and my bill would be around $200.00 a month. I went to a prepaid phone and all I spend a month now is $45.00. I am on the plan with free mobile to mobile and free after 9:00 pm, I do some text messages and some pictures but not many. I have spent $30.00 a month. What I like about it is you do not have to worry about contracts.

i have the prepaid basic plan and theres no daily charge...so update your review becuase i am only payin 20 dollars a month for texting becuase i dont make any calls..i think this is the best prepaid buisness out there

my husband has verizon and it sucks. for verizon to be one of the best phone companies and not have a better pay as you go plan than boost mobile or virgin mobile is a shame. boost gives unlimited everything for just $50 a month and virgin mobile offers a good deal as well plus virgin mobile gives you ways to get extra phone time free. Why isn't verizon offering a better deal or at least matching these deals? $3.00 a day is adding up to me to be $90 a month and then you have to add the months with an extra day in it or add more money for the other feature. hmmm....that's a rip off to me .

that phone is sick but it dont tell you how much it is!!!! We want the phone

i was woundering if thers any way to change your pre pay account to a contract online if u no how plaese send me any e- mail telling me how to thatnks alot:) my e- mail is holly.guffey@yahoo.com

First was lost/stolen, called Verizon
immediately and put the phone in suspension. I bought another Version (samsung) prepaid. Customer service was excellent in helping me transfer the balance on previous phone.

I went to the impulse plan after completing back to back 2 year contracts. I hardly ever use my phone and it was costing me almost $50 a month for 3 to 10 minutes of usage. I switched to the impulse plan in December and it is now June. I paid $100.00 so that my money wouldn't expire for a year and I now have a balance of $91.00. So I couldn't be happier. However, customer service stinks. It's almost impossible to talk to a real person. Oh well, hopefully that won't be necessary until December rolls around again.

Horrible--extremely expensive, customer service rude and claimed I was "a liar" similar to other reviewer so I am guessing it's policy to screw over pre-paid customers. DO NOT go with Verizon.

I bought the Samsung u340 and u350 Pre Paid phones because Wal-Mart had them for 20 bux. Verizon's tv ads make you feel like they have the best coverage and service. Wrong. Activation was impossible. After incomplete automated activation procedure it "transfers" you to customer service to "complete activation" (straight to a busy signal w/out completing activation). 6 hours later, no activation, but the phone w/out a number assigned to it would make collect calls and credit card calls to verizon, but verizon still couldn't activate it "welcome to Verizon you are being transfered to another network" ("American Roaming") At this time you are told you can make credit card calls and the cycle repeats. Bought both new at a Wal Mart 5 mi from my house. Their coverage map shows good coverage, no roaming in my area, but dropped my activation attempt calls repeatedly cutting in and out (poor signal reliability) but roaming was the only way the phone would work and then only if you use your credit card. It doesn't activate, it has poor signal reliability, coverage and only credit card roaming use. Customer service was non existent/inaccessible and Verizon is unscrupulous in advertising and customer service. I took them back to Wal Mart. Went to Best Buy, bought 2 ATT Go Phones and presto quick activation and great, always accessible customer service. As well as awsome signal strength / reliability. Go with AT&T!

I put money in and i use it but it keeps asking for a pass word but i dont remember! i dont like it there is no way to put it on!

ITS OKAY

verizon IS the best company because when you go call a verizon lets say today in the morning then its 99 cents and you have the rest of the day free to any verizon that day

Ilove the phones, and for 50 a month it's cheaper than a contract phone for unlimited.

I'm very satisfied, especially since they now have .25 cents a minute with no daily fee. And you can change plans 4 times a month. I don't use it very much, so $100 for a year is great, Verizon has the best network. I'd give 5 stars if it were cheaper, but you gotta pay for the best I suppose.

i dont have a review. more of a question. i am currenty using a Samsun sch-u340. i was wonderinf that if i bought a phone from verizon and NOT activate a contract, could i transfer my current prepaid to it and keep my account balance?

Ive had verizon prepaid before and went to tmobile went back to verizon postpaid yea its a little expensive but you pay for what you get. If you buy a old pos car thats what your gonna be driving i hardly ever drop a call im even staying with verizon and getting an additional prepaid phone for 20 bux not bad huh since other companies rip you off with poor customer service and phones that could be free end up costing you 300 dollars. Right thats why verizon is my provider. 4 LIFE!!!!

I have had three prepaid phones from verizon, I get the $10 messaging bundle because alot of people I know have verizon but the perpaid gets old after awhile so im considering doing a contract. Prepaid phones are great for texting and I Personally get amazing service.

Love the service but cannot figure out how to shut off the announcment of remaining time when you try to call out. Nitrogen TSRH says there is a simple way. Please email me with your instructions on how to do it. Thanks.

ITS GOOD ENOUGH BUT I REALLY LIKE THE FONES THEY ARE KILLIN...MAN GOTS TO GET ME A TOUCH SCREEN QUICK OR SUMTIN COLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i like my verizon phone, i dont like being charged twice in the same month for my $10 message bundle or for things not purchased

to get the messaging bundle go to the verizon mobile web and o down to "get the msg bndl." and it is only $5$

The phones your company is selling at walmart store are advertising the wrong price plans on package. When I activated my phone, the charges were $1.00 more than advertized

I agree with Brandon, the 99 cent plan should have unlimited nights. And it's time for the owners of this site to update this review. Verizon has changed their prepaid plans (again).

the only complant i have is that on the 99 cent plan does not have free nights and weekends

i don't pay that much beacuse i never answer my phone only text so their for i only spend 2cents per text and my money last forever...lol

I'm not a Verizon fan, but pound per pound verizon inpulse offers the best deal. First, look at the prepaid national coverage map it's pretty good, with the exception of Puerto Rico. With the core plan you pay only .99/day charge. If you text a lot get the bundle deal for ten extra dollars. Compare this vs Nextel/Sprint, AT&T, Tmobile postpaid, your connection with Verizon way better. If you want to turn off the annoying balance reminder just dial *611 a set it to low. *this plan is great if most of your friends have verizon as their phone carrier,free mobile to mobile. You either spend $31 a month or $41 for great service

I dont like this phone because u have to pay for everything why itcant be like alltel phones you know free text messaging n unlimited mobile to mobile.

I have had Verizon wireless prepay for over a year. I bought a $50.00 card and did very little calling. I still have a balance or $42.81. But the 60 days are up, so--they told me my account had expired. This sucks. I also did not allow any text , or picture messages. They charged me anyway.

Does anyone know where I can report them to the BBB?

Right now I have verizon and it is really expensive. Every two days i have to add minutes to it. I think that at&t is better.

I love my prepaid verizon phone. I have been using the same one for the last 3 years, my plan is .99 per day with unlimited mobil to mobil, and unlimited nights. The camera makes great pictures. The battery finally gave up the ghost about 4 months ago, I went to verizon to see if I could get a new one and they told me that battery wasn't available anymore... SO I went to ebay and bought one, now my old dinosaur of a phone is as good as new. I absolutely love it, and I hate that the plan that I have and enjoy so affordably is no longer available... if I can get another battery on ebay when this one dies, I will keep right on with this phone :-)

this service sucks i tryed to use my messageing bunddle and it would not let me use it so these service is are jank

i am thinking about gettin a nv2 with unlimited text,but from what i can see....this doesnt look like a good idea.im really confused and have no clue what to do.

i just got the 1.99 prepaid plan. it's cool the only drawback is when receiving a text from unknowns you get charged .5 cents, other than that if the phone sits you don't get charged a daily fee like T-mobile's 1.00 a day plus usage.

Ive had prepaid verizon for 3 years.im on the .99cents plan and mobile to mobile and free nights.everyone i know is mobile to mobile. i love it

I had over 6 hours of talk time left on my phone and I was looking for a job on indeed.com, i was led to a series of sites that requested my cell number and after I logged in at least 5 back to back text messages came in on my phone eating up all my minutes! How do I get the minutes back?

i hate how all of these people are complaining about the price if you didnt get the 2.99 a day plan it would be cheaper duh. i got the 1.99 a day plan its easy and if you dont text every 5 seconds it would be cheaper i am conservative of my minutes and they last a while i love verison it is reliable and mildly expensive.

Your phone selection is excellent and your coverage is good. However the cost of your prepay phones, is prohibitive, you should drop the dollar a day fee. Many of your competitors don't charge a dollar a day. If you dropped the dollar charge I would buy one.

Verizon is such a great company and the planes are great.I LUV THEM!!!

The phones is absolutely terrific but i have to ask this do u have to pay with a crdit card to get unlimited texts or can you just put a 20$ card on there and it takes it off of there?

my grandma recently passed away and we traveled to mexico. all family was there and they all had cellphones from diffrent networks tmobile, sprint everything....but i am glad to say that i was the smart one with verizon....all other networks were not able to function where we were at grandma's funeral...we had to keep calling other family members and my phone was the phone that was working thanks to verizon i was able to keep in touch with family coming in from all parts of mexico i got my phone in texas (a prepaid!!!!) and it really works!!!!!!!!

the phones are good but the pays as you go cost is to expensive and if you text you waste all your minutes in a daty

i hate verizon i've been with them for quite sometimes had the easypay plan lost it they said and now i;m on the pluse plan which is not good for anyone i would not reccommend this company to any one they are a ripoff foreal i spend more money on my phone than i do on a house phone that's bad i wish i knew someone with a better plan . help......

i bought the samsung u340 and it was ok for a while, but then i saw everyone else's phones and i was embarrassed to show them mine.

Has anyone heard about Verizon's new $3.99 a day unlimited talk prepaid plan? $120 a month? That's crazy!

I bought the Blitz for $100. I bought $15 and the 30 days didn't get added. I called customer service and the didn't believe me and never gave it to me. I bought another $15 card and the minutes and days both didn't get added. I called customer service they called me a liar and then hung up on me. I just emailed them to tell them about my problem and what their customer service (by phone) did.

i like my new phone its really cool i have the samsung my phone lets me do ever i want i rally dont call but i text i have unlimited texting it is sick i love it everbody has the phone i have everbody all my friends i really is a cool phone ya man
