THE PHONE IZ UGLY LOL

Several weeks ago I decided to see what the hype was about Verizon. I have Nextel, Sprint, and AT&T Postpaid accounts. I tried T-Mobile but had no reception where I live. My disappointment with VZWPP was first the set up. If you do it over the Air and then call your voicemail to set it (As it is encouraged) up for the first time, you will lose your daily accruement and since I did this at 10:00 pm., I lost it rather quickly. (Set it up in the morning to get more for your money) Then, while calling Verizon Customer Care, the maze has made a bad impression on me and the people seem to be rather distant to any concerns you may have. (By the way, after you chose your reason for the call, use option 4) I also decided to add $25.00 to try for another three months but wait; It is only good for 30 days. You see, with other prepaid services like AT&T, Boost Mobile, & T-Mobile, you get that amount for 90 days. (I don’t use much of the prepaid minutes because I have post paid accounts. I just try them out for coverage comparison.) The VZW Web does not tell you while you are reloading how long your payment is good for until you submit the payment. (Note to newbie’s, make sure you pay $30.00 if you want your balance to last up to 90 days in case you don't use it as much. I know I don't.) Also, the coverage is less than post paid accounts and you have to see for yourself on their coverage maps. As for the coverage, I get two bars and it seems steady. Please review what I said prior to your first set up. It is best that you become acquainted with VZWPP so that you do not lose any revenue in the process. As for those who lost your pre paid savings account, begin to print your screen prior to reloading. If then you lose it for some reason due to VZWPP carelessness, you can then take them to small claims court. Keep track of everything with every prepaid and postpaid wireless carriers. Take Care!!!

now I cant say this is a very phone comp. becouse they have a good strong signal but they have now a good plan 45.00 a month but the problem is they goin to charge you a .40 cent or .29 cent a minute to call to puerto ricooooooooo wen p.r is part of usa wend they have to charge the same rate like usa .10 cent a minute

well there is one minor difference the basic call plan does not feature mobile to mobile the plan i choose is the $1.99 a day plan because i like being able to have unlimited n/w

I love Verizon it has great service have never had any problems i would highly recommend you stick with verizon or switch its cheap and the phones are great I got my grandma a phone and she's 71 and she loves it she gets to talk to her friends for practically free . I hope you get a verizon phone there the best thing out there all the phones have the latest technology . There the best phones ever!!!!!!

Verizon is my FAVORITE network, I love how awesome the coverage is and I have yet to come across a dropped call. I recently switched from my monthly contract to a prepaid plan called Straight Talk which is still on the Verizon network and I couldn't be more impressed. Walmart sells this plan exclusively nationwide so its a great price! I use the $45 Unlimited texts/calls plan and it is the best :) If you are looking to save money the smart way and still have a great deal, I highly reccommend Straight Talk!

Verizon wireless is what we have now, but they seriously need to come up with some new prepaid plans. Even if they are a bit more than the other UNLIMITED plans by Boost Mobile or Cricket their service would be worth the extra charge. I love Verizon, but want better plans, UNLIMITED text, talk and web would sell me at $75. per month.

Verizon prepaid is coming out with new Monthly plans in addition to its' daily/paygo plans. There are three of them. 450 anytime minutes/nights/weekends/m2m for 44.99, 900 anytime minutes/nights/weekends/m2m for 64.99 and unlimited talk for 74.99. Still pricey but the $74.99 unlimited talk plan, for example, is $45 less then using their 3.99 unlimited talk plan every day for 30 days. A big relative savings.

The same rules for the older daily/paygo plans apply to the new monthly plans: Phone limitations (no smartphones/html web devices), unlimited data available for .99 a day, Vcast/ringtones, etc.

Verizon mvnos might be getting a new round of price adjustments and/or plan options hopefully as a result of this.

hubby has verison phone which was a prepaid alltel we used the phone number to get a att phone today i want to keep using the old alltel plan but because he took the phone number i would have to go to the verizon plan what a crock of crap looks like a rip off to charge you for using your phone that day we had 39.99 400 days 2000 night and weekends and now a good phone that will now be another phone put in the cardboard box for storage.

My daughter recently had her minutes stolen from her prepaid account. Please be aware of this. It has happen to my mother and my client's mother. Verizon stated it is nothing they can do. PLEASE BE AWARE OF THIS. They try to say my daughter gave her passcode to someone, but my daughter did not know her passcode I!!! set up the account. So who is doing this? Verizon?

The service area on my verizon phone sucks.one of my buds has a verizon service plan and he has service everywhere.I have the prepay and i get service except my phone is always on roaming so i cant make calls and can only recieve texts.whats the logic in that.

I had a Boost mobile phone for many months and it was USELESS. Couldn't send international texts or local texts. Making phone calls was a nightmare, as the person on the other end couldn't hear me due to loss of signal all the time! soo frustrating. Then i bought a prepaid Verizon phone and wow! what a difference!!I can now text internationally and get a signal every time i use the phone. I'm VERY happy!! Everything is PERFECT!! Verizon is the BEST!!

I know someone who was on an airplane with their phone turned off...Verizon charged them for a 20 min. call they supposedly received on the plane. They were completely unwilling to do anything about it. Often, his account will just randomly be charged $4.00 or $5.00, etc for calls he never even makes or receives....DO NOT USE VERIZON WIRELESS PREPAID THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF!!

Just not to long ago i had that boost mobile phone for about 4 months. i hated that phone ever since the first day i got it..first of all it was ugly 2nd of all it was the slowest phone i ever had.. my txt messages wouldnt open up for about 20 minutes later and i coulnt get any ringtones for some reason...pictures were crappy as hell ppl just looked deformed n ugly haha.. and lastly the RECEPTION was a disgrace. most of the time i had it i would only have 1 or 2 bars for reception n den once i moved id loose all of it..oh n the internet was slow n sumtimes it would freeze..CRAPPY PHONE EVERYONE!! But then after getting so tired of it i came upp with that prepaid verizon n omg i loved it rite away..since i kinda knew it was definetly gonna be way better than dat shitty phone it had everything i wanted..everything unlimited but for way cheaper every month..10 dollars less..not bad..hey with those 10 extra dollars you can go n put in some gas in ur car...lol The phone is great! i can afford it and i dont have to worry about it as much as the old phone i had..verizon is the best!!!! =]

VZW are "The Biggest Crooks on the Horizon".

verizon wireless i just would like to say that this really sucks. Alltel is much better. you get to text unlimited according to your plan. i wish i could switch..

I have both verizon prepaid and straight talk and i drive a 18 wheeler all over the 48 states and i can say that my verizon phone has never droped a call or gone into roam it has had the best reseption out of the outhers i have had alltell boost tmobel and i have been where they could not get out but with my verizon and straight talk i am able to call and recive on both of them and have not had any problums oh yea just to let you know even when i was down to 11 cents i was still abel to text adn get texts no one else can make that statement about there phone . so if you really need a phone that works get a verizon and you wouldnt have to be with out in a time of need.

I FOUND A BETTER DEAL. I'm looking for thrift in these challenging economic times. According to Consumer Reports Magazine the top carrier continues to be Verizon. But Verizon has a secret many of you don't know. It sublets its network to the best prepaid cell phone company in the US.

Went shopping at my local Walmart and found the STRAIGHTALK. It's a pre-paid cell at a steal! $45 a month for unlimited text, talk and web access. Plus, no need for a contract. Just pay as you go.

WHERE'S THE DEAL? Verizon sublets its network to STRAIGHTALK. So I get the same service I had with my old Verizon contract but I now save $100 a month!!! That's a savings of $1,200 a year!!!

AND, the StraighTalk just introduced the Finesse smart phone in time for the Christmas 2009 gift giving season. It's the Samsung 810 which features the touch screen interface at 3g speeds. Like the latest touch screen phones, the 810 has a full HTML browser which allows computer like browsing functionality. Another handy feature is the expandable microSD card slot which accepts up to 16 gig micro cards. This is an awesome feature since allows for unlimited expandability by using multiple sd cards. Other cool features include a 2 mega pixel camera with video recording capabilities. Yet another cool thing that makes this an excellent all around phone is the built in MP3 player. So with the 810 you can have an all around device that allows you to take advantage of Straight Talk, one of the best wireless plans on the market.

So there you have it. Smart Phone. No Contract. Carried on the best network in the country. Happy Holiday and don't forget your New Year's Resolution to be: no more getting gouged by the big evil phone companies.

I now dislike Verizon prepaid service because you pay over $100 a month to have service especially when you have several companies whose unlimited everything plans range from $40 - $50/a month especially when one of the companies is using the verizon network. I think Verizon needs to reconsider the plans since most people use their phones everyday.

I LOVE the Verizon network! It has the best coverage and I never have any dropped calls. I recently switched to Straight Talk which is a prepaid plan on the Verizon network and it has saved me tons. $45 for Unlimited texts and calls, could it get any better?!

I have been prepaid on a simple cell model Kyocera Phantom KX414 for about 4 years now, and I have found the cost to be much less than a contract. The good news: You can now access your call history from your online account. The bad news: They raised my fee without notifying me (from .25 first minute, to .35 first minute ... still .10 per minute thereafter).

Just a heads up. Verizon is going to start charging 300.00 PER LINE!!! to cancel earley. Please read your contracts CAREFULLY when it is time to renue them. If they can sucker ppl to do this then so will the other companys.

I bought my verizon prepaid phone from Walmart today. I activated it and waited until after 10:00pm to set up my voicemail. When the instructions came on the woman said, "This call is unlimited", and I thought nothing about it and set up my voicemail. After setting up my voicemail, I noticed that my balance went down by $1.99. I checked my record of usage and there was nothing on there saying that money had been taking from my balance...which confused me. I went online and in the account summary there is still nothing about me being charged....and I am so confused. I thought unlimited calls are free. I will be going to verizon wireless tomorrow and if we can't settle this, I will be taking this phone back to Walmart and staying with tracfone.

Verizon prepaid is zeroing out balances without reason. In mid-Sep, I had a $250 balance, on 17 Sept after an autopay, my balance was suddenly $30. After wading through the customer service maze, I was told by a "supervisor" that they had no records of my large balance and my records were not acceptable. They simply stole my balance without notice.

This is the worst prepaid plan ever. Since having alltel for three years on prepaid, i have had no problems, it was easy to put money on, now with verizon; fillig it up online doesn't work, and it takes an additional 1 or so to get it on through calling customer serivice. I do not reccomend this, its completely inconvienient, and not to mention a waste of money.

I had an excellent plan with Alltel and was grandfathered in when Verizon took over. Since then I have texts that don't go through for hours, recieve duplicate texts constantly, and have calls completely cut off a minute into talking. At first I thought it might be an issue with the phone itself, but since I've started reading reviews on the subject it seems to be a Verizon issue. I am very unimpressed with this company and would rather have Altell back.

I hate this phone with a passion! it is soooo annoying it makes me give up on all samsung phones! I hate it so much I threw it up against a wall--but then the vibrate broke! it suxxxxx!

RIPOFF!!!!! Four family members in my home had alltel prepaid phones! Their plans were great! $1.00 per day for unlimited everything!!! Now verizon!! You don't get unlimited crap and it's $3.99 a day??? Are they freaken crazy?!?! We don't have that kind of money! Mom and Dad of this house are both on unemployment!!!! Verizon sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't never leave a good thing alone!!!! I loved alltel!!!!!!!!!!

i had had the the boost unlimited for 11 months i liked it but not anymore because sometimes it wouldnt let me get my pic msg and get on the internet. but i had to get me another phone because my phone is water damage. so new i got the new verzion 350 bluetooth camera phone. i like the phone so far. i got unlimited talk and text and pic msg and nationwide and i always get my pic msg. i like the the phone so far. the only thing im having is setting up my voicemail. but im not gonna worry about setting up my voicemail. because im not gonna miss no calls because i always have my phone on me. verzion is the best. boost mobile sucks.

well, i like the idea of the 20$ a month for unlimited text, picture, video, and stuff like that. and if you get the 1.99 a day plan you get unlimited nights and weekends, so thats unlimited texting(which you wont get charged a daily charge for texting) and unlimited nights and weekends.. i think this is great, although i see what people are saying about the money being taken away that does suck. But overall i think verizon is good, i used to have verizon then i swiched to tmobile and i wasnt satisfied i was paying a dollar a day for unlimited text and thats all i could use it cost 15 cents a minute for call. it sucked, so it was pratcily 30$ a month for nothing not even picture messaging because i didnt have internet because the plan i had didnt support internet. It sucked :( but i think verizon is a good idea overall, but needs more choices for prepaid phones. :(

Verizon rips you off, their plans are way overpriced, and if you ever have a problem they basicly do not care. Alltel was far better then Verizon. ALSO good luck roaming on Verizon prepaid, they do not include prepay customers in their 'nationwide' netwrok, lol. OR 3G. They try to tell you they do, its not true.

I have Verizon implulse phones now for 4 years and I love them. I think they ned to get a bigger variety to choose from but otherwise they have been relly great. I am one that sucks with contracts and travel all over for work so this type of phone and service is so very convenient.

this is the best phone I dint even have to call the store for any probmls

i think impu;se is a really good idea because not everyone has the money to have a designated amount set for that month. with the impulse plan if you don't have the money that month you can just not use it or cut down your calling or texting amount.

Made a big mistaking choosing Verizon.They literally rip people off :( and some of my friends who are still with them even know they are being ripped off by them and choose to stay with them because popularity..Trust me you can find better service with our providers.

verizon is so lame we should of juxx be able to stay with alltel verizon should of stayed where they were because it messed up alot of suff and verizon doesn't even support smart phn blackberry on prepaid like alltel i say alltel is the best thing to ever happen to prepaid period juxx give us alltel back and over 80 million strong will be happy

MY RECEPTION WASN'T VERY GOOD AT ALL. THE ANSWER TO, "CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?", WAS MORE OFTEN NO THAN YES. AND DON'T LET YOUR MINUTES GET LOW BECAUSE THEY WILL TEXT YOU AT 2:00 AM AND WAKE YOU UP TO LET YOU KNOW IT!!! AND THEN TELL YOU THAT "THE TIME OF THE TEXT CAN'T BE CHANGED, YOU NEED TO PUT TIME ON YOUR PHONE NOW." WELL AS OF TODAY I AM NO LONGER A VERIZION CUSTOMER. AH, FREEDOM!

I think Verizon prepaid is a legalized exhortion from people who do not want to be tied to a contract. Some people have been charged the daily fee for just opening their flip phones & not making any calls. They are higher than any other plan out there: to me they are not even competitive. Unfortunately they have the largest network, which is the only thing going for them. I had a contract before prepaid & it was only for a year. When I tried to cancel, I was told by one of their dishonest reps that it was a 2 year plan & I would be charged $150.00 for disconnect. I couldn't find my contract so I had to stay with it. Then a 9 months later I called again & was told that I did indeed have a 1 year contract. It was my fault because I couldn't find the contract so I chalked it up to my stupidity for not calling & asking to speak to a supervisor the first time. Then I get the prepaid, which has turned out to be more expensive than a contract at times. Their customer service stinks & I really believe they perform every trick in the book to add charges that are not there. I went to Boost mobile & it is a straight 10 cents a minute charge. No activation fee, no roaming fees. It doesn't have the coverage that Verizon does, but hopefully they will get more towers up. As far as Verizon goes, it is an endless money pit. Speaking for myself, I do not have any extra cash to throw away & that's what you do with that company. I really think the U.S. Attorney General needs to investigate Verizon!

Verizon is an alien money sucking scam machine. One star is too many. I was quite happy with my alltel prepaid service for 4 years. I was paying 39.99 per month for 400 anytime and 2000 night/weekend minutes. I added a 750 text bundle for $10. I never went over and never had problems with ALLTEL then Verizon Scam services bought Alltel out. In the three months that i've been with verizon i've been charged for HUNDREDS of text messages per day that I have never made nor received. I've called customer service at least 5 times only to reach condescending clueless reps who insist that somehow these charges are valid and I must be making HUNDREDS of texts per day. The service reps nor their supervisors would give me an itemized listing of the phone numbers that these texts are going to/coming from so it is impossible to see what the heck is going on. I also had a $124 balance in august which i was told could be used for ringtones, etc, but the balance has disappeared and my phone has been cut off before the payment due date THREE TIMES due to them charging me .10/min for THOUSANDS of texts per month. On 11/28/09 after a trip to the verizon store and 3 customer service calls Manager Jamie Lee Laster hung up in my face after raising her voice and arguing that these THOUSANDS of texts they're continuously charging me for are valid. I'm tempted to contact BBB, TCC, and an attorney.

I loved ALLTEL! never had a problem with them EVER! I hate Verizon's Alien Money Sucking Scam Services! STAY AWAY FROM VERIZON.

Robbing my wallet! I use this phone in addition to my cell when I travel out of my coverage area. I wasn't monitoring my usage in the beginning and thought it was strange that I had to reload so often, although I rarely use it. So this time I did not use the phone at all! They disconnected it and I got the texts saying I am out of minutes and need to reload again! I am going to disconnect it. Don't waste your money! Total scam!

i like this very much giving me mins after i bough 20 dollars and it didn't even put one cent on my phone and they gave me mi 20 dollars for sure.

i like verizon because the messaging bundles are awesome and you get unlimited texting for 30 days. but the one thing i hate the most about verizon is they like to take money off your phone and thats rediculous. they have no right to take money because at times when i dont even use it or when i have first gotten a card its gone the next day or on that day

I had one Alltel prepaid phone,which when transferred to Verizon,had a balance remaining at Alltel of $107. Verizon claims there was no balance transferred. Alltel claims they cannot access my records as Verizon now has the account. Spent an hour on the phone tonight trying to straighten out and was hung up on by "Porsche," a supervisor in Verizon's prepaid call center in Georgia when she could not resolve. She basically told me I was out of luck and there was nothing she could do "since this is not a 'known issue'."

Avoid Verizon like it is the plague!

I had a verizon contract for 5 yrs. and b4 that i had verizon prepaid and sprint. I have switched to page plus cause I liked the coverage verizon has just didnt like the price. Page plus works on the verizon network. They offer a few different plans: pay as you go, the talk n text 1200(1200 voice mins and 1200 text with 50 mb data) for 29.95 a month, or the unlimited talk n text with 20 mb data. Their phone selection isnt very big but u you can use ur verizon phone since they use the verizon network. You can also take ur number with u (they call it porting) i took mine from verizon. If u use ur verizon phone u will only b able 2 talk n text. They r new so they r still workin out sum bugs like takes awhile 2 talk 2 sum 1 when callin them. Im very happy with them. I get the same excat coverage as i did with verizon i just dont pay $200+ for 2 phones anymore.

I had Verizon Inpulse core plan , Purchaced in December 2008 . I forgot to put time on my phone when I called then a week ago to have my phone Shut back on they stated I would have to pay 35.00 to get it back on plus having a card . they said that the only option was to buy a 100.00 airtime card over the phone . why do you have to do this on a prepaid phone . you are not locked into a contract . it dosent make any sense I could pay 150.00 all together and get a bran new phone from t mobile with starter airtime Verizon wireless sucks

Verizon sucks. I was texting the other day and got a message telling me my balance was 9 dollars. Three text messages later, another message, telling me my balance was 5 dollars. Sure enough, they just stole my money. You would think at this day and age plan rates would go down, so they could be afforded. They just keep going up. Its only a matter of time till plans just go away, and you will pay per minute, and per text, or you can just not have a phone. Thats the way it is though, Verizon could give a rats if they lose your business or not. I really wish there was a different option in my area, but there is not, Cause if there was, I would leave Verizon with the quickness.

It has been one of the most greatest plams ever

Verizon is awesome all i want is a prepaid phone don't care what kind as long as it has a camera and i can txt and call
