Verizon Prepaid Wireless Cellular Service

Editor Rating
* * * *

Overview

World famous for its "Can you hear me now?" ad campaign, Verizon Wireless boasts itself as the most reliable wireless network in the nation. Verizon Wireless is also joining the leagues of national  providers offering prepaid services. 

Verizon Wireless is a joint venture of Verizon Communications and Vodafone and is headquartered in Basking Ridge, NJ.

Pros: The Verizon prepaid plans allow you to pick the best option for your calling habits. They offer a number of prepaid packages, including one with unlimited minutes and penny text messages. They also have one of the largest calling networks in the country.

Cons: There is a daily access charge with all plans, which does not sit well with many people. It can make the service exceedingly expensive, even though the daily fee is only charged on days you use the phone.

Detailed Provider Information

Plans: Verizon now offers four pay-as-you-go plans. The Basic plan offers minutes at 25 cents each with no daily access fee. With the Core plan, calls are 10 cents per minute and there is a 99 cent access charge per day. The Plus plan offers calls at 5 cents per minute, but charges a $1.99 per day access fee. This plan comes with unlimited night and weekend minutes (starting at 9 p.m.). The Unlimited Talk plan offers unlimited minutes and one-cent text messages for $3.99 per day. In addition, all INpulse plans comes with unlimited mobile to mobile (to other Verizon customers). All access fees are only charged on the days the phone is used.


Customer Service: Customer service can be reached 24 hours a day, 7 days a week via email, a toll free number and from your Verizon prepaid cell phone without incurring airtime charges.


Credit Check: None


Contract: None


Payment Options: Verizon pay as you go service allows you to pay via credit card or debit card auto pay, as well as allowing you to pay via credit card or debit card on their website. Additionally, you can make payments by phone or in person at Verizon Wireless stores or kiosks.


Text and Picture Messaging: Verizon prepaid offers both domestic and international text messaging. Basic text messages are 20 cents each. With the INpulse Core plan, text messages are 10 cents each. With the INpluse Plus plan, text messages are 5 cents each. And with the unlimited INpulse plan, text messages are just 1 cent each. Verizon also offers two text messaging bundles. The first provides unlimited mobile to mobile messaging, plus 250 out of network messages, for 10 dollars per month. The other provides unlimited messaging to any network for 20 dollars per month. International text messaging is 25 cents per message sent and 10 cents per message received. Picture messaging is also available and costs 25 cents per picture sent or received.


Data Plans: Verizon offers mobile web access to prepaid users for 99 cents per day (but only on days it is used).


Downloadables: Verizon offers every type of downloable you can imagine. Ringtones, music, wallpaper, IM, email, web, ringback, voice guided GPS navigator, games, applications, vcast (which allows you to watch streaming videos and TV) and more. Prices vary based on service and phone. Downloads are subject to a 99 cent download fee, which is assessed for the first download in any 24-hour period.


International Calling: Verizon allows international calling. Puerto Rico is not considered an international call. Verizon charges normal airtime rates for calls to Puerto Rico. International calling rates start at 29 cents per minute in additional to normal airtime charges. You'll need to check with customer service to get the rates of the country you plan to call prior to making international calls.


Roaming Charges: Calls placed while roaming are charged an additional 69 cents per minute on top of regular airtime.


Calling Features: Verizon pay as you go offers the basic expected calling features with their prepaid service plans; call waiting, caller ID, 3 way calling and call forwarding.


Activation Fee: There is an activation fee of up to 25 dollars to get started with service.


Nationwide Long Distance: Verizon treats nationwide long distance calls as they do regular calls. There are no additional charges for making long distance calls to the United States or Puerto Rico above normal airtime charges.


411 Calls: Directory assistance calls are charged a feee of $1.49 per call in addition to normal airtime charges.


Earliest Minute Expiration: Minutes expire based on the denomination you purchase them in; $15 to $29.99 expires in 30 days, $30 to $74.99 expires in 60 days, $75 to $99.99 expires in 90 days, $100 and above expires in 365 days. If you refill your minutes before they expire and your existing balance will be carried forward.


911 Calls: Yes


Phones: Verizon offers phones in a wide range of pricing and features. All phones have color screens and most of the cell phones available are flip phones. Tons of modern features are available, such as speakerphones, bluetooth, camera phones and more. By spending an initial $15 on INpulse pay-as-you-go accounts, you are eligible for a subsidy equal to a one-year contract.

Charles 2010/08/30

I have been a StraightTalk customer for about 6 months now.When I first got the phone ,the service was spotty.Signal,no signal.The phone was no comparison to my Verizon phones.I liked the phone(Samsung R355c) so I renewed every due date.First 4 months same thing,spotty service.In the meantime my minutes were rolling over.I had over 4,000 minutes, 3,800 texts.Good deal,but phone sometimes worked and sometimes not.Last refill,minutes and texts were reset to 1,000 each.No big deal.I come nowhere even close to using that much.Here is the "kicker".Now my reception is great.I actually get a better signal that with my Verizon phones.I can place a call or send a text with only one bar.The places where I had signal issues in the past are now a thing of the past.If this continues I will be a customer a long time.For the price you can not beat StraightTalk.I have never had to deal with CS so I can not comment on that.Right now I am loving my StraightTalk phone.I would recommend this service to anyone.I think that the company is finally getting all the bugs worked out.You can not go wrong with the service in my opinion.I love it

Joy 2010/08/28

I think Verizon should live up to their claim "Can you hear me now?" I purchased a Straight Talk phone with Verizon as the carrier. very bad move for Tracfone to go with Verizon. I live within 8-12 miles area in my county that has service but my area blocked out, called Verizon they say they have no plans whatsoever to add service to my area...WHAT GIVES? bad plan for Tracfone to go with Verizon

Justin 2010/08/26

perfect thing to do when you get mad is to give up. ever thought of hustling a little to get what you want. well thats what it takes. from my experiene verizon managers are allways reasonable and often discount hugely, i recieved broadband internet anywhere the technology and new phones and only had to pay the sales tax. which is great. why not try to get something out of it than giving up.

Jan 2010/08/21

We got sucked into adding me on my husband's family's plan--told it would cost $10/mo. Ended up $50 /mo. and my pho was defective, wouldn't keep charge. Bought new battery for $44, still didn't hold charge. Finally a guy at kiosk admitted pho had a programming defect and he fixed it. I've since discontinued with V.

Barb 2010/08/19

I was thinking about getting this verizon service because I live in the country- and getting a signal in the valley is hard-after reading these comments-I will stick to my virgin mobile phone,I had for about 2 years. I had the pay as you go plan-you have to top up (add money) $20.00 every 3 months or when you need minutes. My plan is 18C per minute but has long distance also. The phone is fine for everywhere but the road I live on.There are other phones and plans to pick from also.The only downside is -if you forget to add minutes when time-you won't be able to use your phone until you do and you can lose your minutes that were on there if you don't.

Verizon DOES NOT charge you for the day if you text. Only if you use the cell to speak to someone who you call or if you answer if they call you.

Cindy 2010/08/18

This is without a doubt the most expensive prepaid plan I've ever had. If someone sends you a text, even if you don't check it, they charge you for the entire day. The signal is fine but so was AT&T's gophone that I had before this one. I don't use a cell phone often so prepaid is best for me. I switched to the Verizon because most of my family has it and I thought it would be cheaper however it is more expensive than my previous plan and every time I turn around my account balance is low even though I add money about every 2 weeks. The Motorola phone I have works fine and has good reception. It's just too expensive for someone like me who is on a limited budget.

Kevin 2010/08/07

DON'T USE VERIZION PREPAID. I got the phone July 8th 2010. My next payment of $44.99 was due August 8th. I paid $44 (my bill said I owed 43.26) on July 29th 2010. When I paid early they said because I did not pay the .99cents. I did not pay the full bill so I went to an 'air-time' charge for usage, which gave me 1 hour and 40 minutes of time. The customer service rep understood the error and tried to get the manager on duty to rectify the error. Long story short, they said I had to pay again ($44.99) on August 8th. I am cancelling the account and will be posting on my web company accounts (all 2679 of them and 2.3 million readers) to post our new 'BAN VERIZON' ads. They lost a good costumer and will loose many more.

marvin nubwaxer 2010/08/02

no daily access fee with BASIC prepaid--$.25/minute. no per unit break for buying airtime in bulk either. $100 on Verizon gets you 400 minutes, whereas $100 on T-Mobile gets you 1,100 minutes good for a year. that's with t-mo basic prepaid too.

Verizon is expensive but it works.I have tried a few different prepaid providers and NOONE comes close to VerizonWireless.They could do a better job on rates but they are far and beyond all of the competition.I love my VerizonWireless phone.If you want reliable service and do not mind spending a little extra ,this is the service for you.

Hawk 2010/07/19

Verizon PrePaid is lousy and too expensive. MetroPCS With 3 other people is about $30 to $35 each depending if you have internet connection and it is all unlimited calling and text messaging and internet usage. It does not drop that I have seen in my area. It is not in some areas but I hardly ever go to those areas. What a waste. The largest company in the business and they charge the most. They have to buy up all the competitors because of their greed. That is the only way the can force everyone to us them. What happened to the laws to protect us from usury and monopolies?

Verizon Wireless incorrect information: Verizon has BASIC prepaid with no daily 3
marvin nubwaxer 2010/07/04

incorrect information: Verizon has BASIC prepaid with no daily access charge and anytime minutes are $.25. unfortunately you do not get a better unit rate for buying in bulk like with T-mobile where anytime minutes are only $10 when purchased in $100 block which are good for a year. Verizon by far has the largest coverage area though.

when it is time to refill the phone (even if it has ample credit) they notify the seldom used phone#. If you miss the refill deadline, they ABSORB the credit balance.
Choose a fairer plan.

Verizon Wireless i love this service....the best way to set up your plan is go 3
Dj 2010/05/31

i love this service....the best way to set up your plan is go with the 99 cent a day plan called the core plan n what i did was add the $10 a month unlimited texting. This plan works out awesome for me anyways because 99% of the people i know have verizon. With that being said i can talk to any one on a verizon phone for as long as i want for only 99 cents and only on days i use it(any other minutes to non verizon will be 10 cents a min). With the core plan texts are 10 cents but if u get the 10$ unlimited plan u can text as much as u want n wont get charged... seriously this combo has worked out very well for me.


Verizon Wireless You get what you pay for. Verizon prepaid is the REAL Verizon 3
If you want REAL UNLIMITED vs Page Plus unlimited,... 2010/05/31

You get what you pay for. Verizon prepaid is the REAL Verizon network and allows TRUE unlimited calling even though it costs more. There is no cap, no limit, no "abuse" clause like there is with Verizon resellers like Page Plus.

Verizon OWNS the network and doesn't have to pay the middle man. ALL night/weekend and mobile to mobile minutes are FREE. Page Plus and other Verizon resellers have to pay Verizon to get their "unlimited" plans so actually have a hidden "cap" . If you "abuse" a Verizon reseller's "unlimited" plan, they can kick you off.

Verizon resellers offer a better deal for paygo and limited minute plans (like Page Plus's 1200 minute/1200 text/50 meg 29.95 plan). Most Verizon resellers only charge 10-12 cents a minute on their paygo plans (H20 Cdma/Air Voice Express/Mingo/Page Plus) vs the 25 cents a minute Verizon wants.

For unlimited it's Verizon original all the way. For limited plans and paygo, go with a reseller. Most resellers allow you to use Verizon phones (but NO Verizon prepaid phones allowed. They are now all banned on resellers because of abuse).


Verizon Wireless When I first bought my Verizon pay as you go phone, I liked it 2
Casey 2010/05/27

When I first bought my Verizon pay as you go phone, I liked it a lot at first. Once I ran out of minutes, I just use my debit card to pay for more. Now, the bad part, I've had it almost 2 years and all of a sudden, I can't pay for minutes via the phone anymore. It gives me an error message saying my financial institution does not allow me to make this purchase. I called my bank up and they said there's absolutely no reason for it not to work. Yet, I still keep trying and it still won't let me. So, now I have to buy the refill cards at Walmart which is a hassle because I have to drive to get it.

More cons: It charges you .99 cents a day that you use the phone. If you think you might just not use your phone today to save the .99 cents, they will find some way to get it. Like sending random stupid texts that also cost I think .25 cents a text. So too bad, so sad. It will even send you a text to say your balance is low and charge you for that message as well. This happens when I have not even touched my phone at all that day.

Also, it charges you minutes for calling your own voicemail. The most ridiculous thing I've heard of from a phone.

Verizon Wireless I called VZW customer care via *611 from my handset to inquire 3
Joy 2010/05/21

I called VZW customer care via *611 from my handset to inquire about the prepaid plans. I was told that there are monthly prepaid plans available for $5 more than the post-pay accounts,e.g. 450 Min/$44.95; 900 min/$64.99; and Unlimited Min/$74.99. In fact, these prices are actually less expensive because there are no taxes, fees, and VZW surcharges charged to the monthy access fee. That information is not given on the Verizon Wireless website. Walmart's Straight Talk and Page Plus Cellular are paying Verizon to operate on their network. Love them or hate them, Verizon is getting PAID anyway!!!


Verizon Wireless Someone changed my Security code and Now I can't use my Visa 3
Martha Rice 2010/05/13

Someone changed my Security code and Now I can't use my Visa Card to add minutes. If the Account is still in my name and I have my phone it is really ridiculous that I can't get my Security Code and Security question back where I had it in the first place.
You need to chane your rules. If my other phone gets changed I will hold Verizon responsible.
I am very unhappy with your Company and will tell everyone I know how I was treated.
At the end of my minutes I will crush my phone and your Company will lose $ 180.00 a year. Is it worth it?

mom 2010/05/13

My daughter who is a high school student was told at the Verizon store in Panama City, Florida that she could buy a prepaid unlimited texting plan for $20 a month without purchasing any kind of talk plan. When I went back to the same store today a different person said that you are required to purchase some time of a voice plan and can't just purchase a texting plan.

Does anyone know???

marvin nubwaxer 2010/05/09

wrong. now they have BASIC, which seems like the only really sensible prepaid option. you pay about $.25/minute. that daily access charge seems like a rip off. i had been using t-mobile for years prepaid at about $.10/minute by buying $100 time each refill. that way your minutes are good for a full year, but i can't can't get t-mo's signal here.
guess what, i paid $30 for a tiny nokia verizon phone from walmart and verizon's service is excellent.

dcc 2010/05/01

I hate that every time you make a call it tells you how many minutes you have and sends a ring tone. Very aggravatig. It is easy enough to check your balance and they also send you Text messages when you are low, I have the annoying ring and message each time I make a call. I am switching to T-Mobile. They have a new $50 unlimited text and talk coming our on 5/16.

Kev 2010/04/26

Pros: Great network coverage. That's all.

Cons: Expensive! None of the plans are all that great. You can get cheaper from most other carriers. 25c per minute or 10c per minute with a daily charge of 99c!?! WTF, seriously that is not cool. And all the handsets are expensive too.
A buddy of mine showed me he pays 10c per minute on his NET10 prepaid phone without ANY daily use charge, so a much better deal IMO. Switchin as soon as my minutes run out...

Just to let you know, I used to be a Verizon customer with a contract. Then I found out about Page Plus Cellular. They utilize the Verizon Network but I now get unlimited minutes and text for $39.95 a month all-inclusive. The best!I compared all the plans and Page Plus Cellular gives the most for the least. Although their C/S sucks and you are on hold forever, just go online to buy new minutes. This is the way to go. Now only if their phones were nicer....

well guess what joanie and paul,
on behalf of us alltel customers that they screwed over, im getting my fair share out of them. just as you guys mentioned about data, the same service that would cost $60 a month, i get it free. and its totally legal because i asked a customer service rep about it. oh and dont let them lie to you that the alltel phone wont work.. it will because i still use mine right now. i have it connected to my laptop as a wireless modem. i use it all day and doesnt cost me anything. whatever you do dont surrender your grandfathered alltel prepaid plan. thats what they want you to do so you wouldnt get to use their expensive network for cheap.


Verizon Wireless Have been an Alltel customer for prepaid minutes for years, but 3
Joanie 2010/04/18

Have been an Alltel customer for prepaid minutes for years, but today, April 17 2010, I was told that Verizon refuses to service my very recently bought prepay Alltel phone bought at an Alltel/Verizon that was going through the switch to Verizon. They will not buy back the recently purchased prepay cell phone, but insist on my buying a new Verizon phone to get activated. Plus they would re-charge us for activation, despite being activated when purchasing the new prepay phone. We were so disturbed by their lack of customer concern. How many other Alltel customers have found themselves ousted and forced into buying yet another cellphone like this? Just for service?! They have dropped all Alltel connections now and you may as well say Alltel customers! This really pi**es me off! I don't have a lot of money to waste and having an emergency cell phone is a must. Prepay was all I could afford and Alltel did a good job for me. I have twice paid #25 dollars for a ten dollar amount of time because of Verizon's underhanded way of attacking Alltel customers! Need I say, huge lawsuit? They have stuck me with a useless phone that they had no intention of servicing, and refuse to activate the phone service. It would seem that I have no recourse, and since I don't have a lot of money, you better believe that I am looking for a new phone company that will service for me! Verizon is only interested in their bottom dollar!

Verizon Wireless Connectivity is pretty decent, but sadly the phones are LOW END 2
Paul from No Hope 2010/04/14

Connectivity is pretty decent, but sadly the phones are LOW END SUCKY phones. Verizon pushes BIG TIME for DATA accounts, and every decent phone they have require an asinine DATA account!!!

The lousy Samsung has absoilutely LOUSY voice quality.

Called them and they told me that the Motorola W755 or W766 would work just fine, but after I buy one off of eBay, receive it then try to swap phones they now state I need a post-pay account with a data link.

All I want is decent voice connections, a 2MP camera with DVR capability, a USB port, a MicroSD card!!! NOT ROCKET SCIENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you look at the phones Verizon offers you can see they are really pushing hard for their money maker (data is where they make the most money!)... a few for regular use, the rest require data and monthly contracts. A cellphone is supposed to be a cellphone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Even this webpage shows Motorola's W755 as uable on pre-pay..............

Verizon Wireless has no competition.These other cheap prepaid cellular providers may claim to have hold of the VW network to get their service.To a degree it is true,but each and everyone of them have signal issues...so called dead zones.I have never got this from a VW prepaid phone.Yes they may be a bit higher but you can depend on their service.Leave these "small time "players alone and go with VW.They are dependable.
