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.

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 🙂

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.

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

hey i just got my phone today and i got the impules power plan reguarding the free nights and weekends do they charge u when you make a call after 9:01 p.m.

this network is amazing. and everyone has it. i have the plus plan. even if i dont have money left for minutes i still get all my calls after nine and on weekends so its pretty sweet. and i have the unlimited texting to anyone on any network =]

I love Verizon last year I went to Brazil and my cell phone worked over there it is awesome.

I agree with leonard. If you use your phone alot prepaid may not be best. It can add up fast. But for the occasional users like myself, it’s a great option. Verizon gives you so many options to make it work for you. It’s always free to talk to other verizon customers, and the text bundle plan is great for saving money too, since you only get charge the daily fee if you talk with your voice during the day, not if you text exclusively. Despite what others said, customer service is GREAT! when I got my phone I spent ALOT of time talking to them to understand my plan exactly what I will and will not be charged for. They were so helpful and understanding. When I was charged for an unknown reason to me, I called customer service and was given the credit back to my account.Best idea, before getting a cell phone, do your homework. If you talk to tons of other people who have verizon, it’s a no brainer to go with verizon since you pay one daily fee and then can talk as much as you want, if you add the text bundle you can also text and send pictures all you want too. If you don’t talk to many other verizon customers but are on the phone a lot anyway, why are you thinking about prepaid in the first place? I like prepaid since I only use it occasionally and did not want to be stuck with another bill or be locked into any contract. But having prepaid means being responsible to know what you will be charged for and then making sure you don’t go crazy and spend a crazy amount of time on the phone. It also means keeping tabs of your account to be sure each charge is legit. BE SMART about it.

I have had this for 4 years and i got the unlimited messaging too. I text a ton and got the new enV2 phone so its all good. I have had nothing but good service with them. I pay about 67 a month. wish we could see how many texts ive sent or recieved online tho.

well i have verizon andi have the 2.99 plan ……it sucks if you put in 15.00 you can lose it in three days!!!! i hate my mom is trying to change my plan but i dont see it happening yet so my mom wont put money on my phone until she changes the plan

I had $5.90 left on my Verizon prepaid account. I made calls in the morning and afternoon having $2.99 deducted for my daily access. THis left $2.91 on my account. At 11:46pm and 11:47pm of the same day I attempted to make calls to which I got the Verizon message that I did not have enough in my balance for my daily access charge. The calls should have gone through as the daily access charge had already been charged. When I called Verizon to complain about it, they claimed that my calls were placed at 12:46am and 12:47am. But my phone log say 11:46pm and 11:47pm. They turned it into a “its your word against our word and how what time OUR system says you made your call” battle. I’d think twice about Verizon Wireless prepaid. If you do, keep track of your daily access, $2.99 is alot!

Good coverage, easy to get to customer service. Been a subscriber for a few years and just went back for prepaid with an old phone. I bought the 100 min to get the activation waived and have enough minutes to last and have them expire in 1 year. After logging on to Verizon, the minutes were set to expire in 30 days! Had to call (2 transfers) to get that extended to 1 year. Easy to get it fixed, but it had to be fixed in the first place.

Those who think txtin is a lot its really not. the screen that you see your balance at, go to feature then there is a message bundle in there and it cost 10 dollars, if you accept this, you will have unlimited txting for 1 month. then from there on out you only have to have 10 dollars on your phone once a month to renew this.good luck!i hope this works well for you! (:

Your Prepaid plans suck, if I don’t use my minuetes, my phone eat them up.Not a good idea to sign up.

So I just crunched some numbers… I got my prepaid phone on november 10th 2008 an got the 2.99 plan, cause i text a LOT. Ive bought somewhere in the range of 10-12 30 dollars prepaid cards since then, meaning ive spent somewhere in the range of 300-360 dollars, or 100-120 dollars a month.

Verizon is not the company for me. With all of Verizon’s charges and surcharges and taxes and whatever they call it, I could have bought a house and paid for it with cash.

I live way out on an Native American Reservation and the signal out here is okay. I got the blitz phone prepaid for emergencies.. but I find myself using it more for texting… I have the unlimited $20 bundle so i could text other friend on other networks so far it’s cool. aslo i get unlimted pic text too. i don’t really use the phone minutes unless if i have to though. so i have a question… I’m on the daily 99 cent plan…. Is IN calling free for me, or does it still take out 99 cents when i answer.

Verizon INpulse is good if you don’t talk alot other than that…it’s a complete waste of money and you will end up paying out of pocket just as if you had a contract. Their phone selection sucks! I was with Alltel which had excellent prepaid plans (monthly) now that they’ve merged with Verizon I will be seeking another prepaid carrier. I’m browsing At&T’s gophones. I hope I’m more impressed with them than Verizon.

You guys have some serious problems…for one, G. Smith, it is verry easy to shut off the notification that plays at the beginning of each call notifying you of your remaining balance, right from your handset. And, DoNotVerizon, you realize that we are talking about prepaid phones here, and not their AirCard service or other wireless modems offered by Verizon Wireless. Therefore, maybe we should keep the discussion and putdowns related to the actual service being referred to on this page. Otherwise, they do become exceedingly expensive, and it seems like the only way to go is to use the InPulse power plan, 2.99 per day but the absolute cheapest per min rate of any cell phone provider and comes with the same per text rate. Also the only prepaid phone that comes with unlimited nights and weekends included, most just have night minutes, not UNLIMITED nights, and I have yet to see another company that offers this in a prepaid plan. And they offer great TXT bundles, the 10.00 one is kind of a ripoff, seeing as their postpay customers get the EXACT same thing for 5.00 less, however, they DO offer unlimited txt to anyone on any network for only 20.00 a month. So, I would recommend this company completely.

I love the free Verizon to Verizon, but it’s extremely costly, especially if you text. I hate having to add minutes every week because of the daily access charge. I only talk at nine or to other Verizon customer’s, but the access charge is rediculous and I like texting, so it kills my minutes pretty quick. Overall, I’m not too impressed with it

The phones need to be more current. You only give the nice phones to 2-year contract people. We prepaid ones need those phones too.

i never been with verzion.ive been with T-Mobile for 3 years and there service are ok.Verizon is better & there number 1 but it seems like Verizon is for rich people.half of my friends have verizon and there bill be high.Verizon is good and they are reliable but there billing department is the worst.ive read alot of bad things about verizon.thank god i found this article because i was gonna cancel my contract with T-Mobile and switch to Verion prepaid.that’s not gonna happen now.i’m gonna stick with T-Mobile.

I WONDER HOW TWEETY GIVES VERIZON PREPAY FIVE STARS? ANYWAY, I WENT FOR THE PREPAY PLAN AFTER SIX YEARS OF CONTRACT WITH VERIZON. CONTRACT COVERAGE IS GREAT, BUT THEIR PREPAY PLAN COVERAGE REALLY REALLY SUCKS.IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING USING THE PREPAY, THEN GOTO VERIZONWIRELESS.COM AND CHECK OUT THE PREPAY COVERAGE BEFORE YOU BUY. I LIVE IN THE MEMPHIS AREA AND HAVE GREAT SERVICE HERE BUT I TRAVEL ACROSS COUNTRY ALOT. IF YOU LIKE TO PAY .40 CENTS A MINUTE FOR ROAMING THEN GET THE PREPAY. IT IS ALSO B.S. THAT YOU CAN TALK TO ANYONE WHO ALSO IS ON THE VERIZON NETWORK FOR FREE IS FALSE BECAUSE YOU MUST FIRST PAY THE DAILY FEE AND THE ROAMING CHARGES ALMOST EVERYWHERE ACROSS COUNTRY. I WENT ACROSS INTERSTATE FORTY FROM MEMPHIS TO KINGMAN ARIZONA AND COULD ONLY GET SERVICE IN LITTLE ROCK AND ALBUQUERQUE. 1550 MILES OF ROAMING WITH PREPAY. WHEN I HAD THE CONTRACT, THERE WAS HARDLY ANYWHERE I WENT, THAT ROAMING CAME UP ON MY CELL.ANYWAY, IF YOU ARE GOING TO USE THE PREPAY AND YOU FIND THAT YOU ARE COMPATIBLE IN YOUR AREA AND YOU DON’T TRAVEL, I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU USE THE 2.99 ON A WEEKEND AND TALK AS MUCH AS YOU WANT FOR THE 2.99. I BELIEVE THE TIME STRUCTURE THEY HAVE IS FROM MIDNIGHT TO MIDNIGHT. YOU CAN DO SOME SERIOUS TALKING IN THOSE 24 HOURS. ALSO IF YOU ARE A HOME BODY AND MOST OF YOUR FRIENDS HAVE VERIZON THEN THE .99 CENT DEAL IS GREAT. BUT, AS I SAID BEFORE, IF YOU ARE TRAVELING, BEWARE. HOPE THIS IS HELPFUL TO SOMEONE.

i love all the things you can do with verizon, it really is the ultimate network, you get so many features like vznavigator = my own gps on demand at just 2.99 for a whole days use (only on the days you use it!) though its the most expensive prepaid i have ever been on, but you are paying for quality, right? and dependability on demand so its worth the steep price. fortunately for me i dont use it everyday (if i did it would be like $30 a month just for access to their service) so the downfall would be if your on a budget like me, then you might struggle to survive making your money last month to month or week to week, depending on what kind of consumer you are. besides if you are spending so much then why are you on a prepaid? you might as well go on their plan? otherwise if your a seldom user like me, then just stop reading and get it! your paying for service and in the end is that all that matters? i mean why have a cell phone if it wont work where you are and where your going?!

wow, i like verizon prepay because i pay 2.99 a day only when i use it for unlimited night an weekends an free mobile to mobile an 2cents for ant text messages that is a great deal u can.t beat that especially only when you use

I keep hearing that the service is bad with the Verizon Prepay phones. I’m just confused on how they work. I know that there is the Daily Access Fee of 99 cents, but only on the days you use it. And then the 10, 5, or 2 cents per minutes. You can also get the unlimited text. If I had the unlimited text and don’t make a call on that day, and only use the phone for texting, does the daily access fee still get charged even though I’m not making a call and just texting? I barely barely use my tracfone for calls, only in emergencies, I just use it for texting. I would really like the Verizon prepay because of the unlimited text packs. So I am wondering if this phone would be a good choice, or if it would be more expensive than my current tracfone which I buy minutes for every few months.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MT VERIZON PHONE . I DO THE 2.99 PLAN AND ADD 15 DOLLARS A MONTH IT ITS SO GOOD I STILL HAVE MONEY LEFT OVER AT THE END OF EACH MONTH . AND SINCE YOU PAY AS YOU GO I CAN AFFORD IT MYSELF AND MY MOM DOESNT HAVE TO HAVE THE HASSLE OF PAYING FOR ME . IM THIRTEEN YEARS OLD SO IM OUT ALOT AND USE MY PHONE NEARLY EVERYDAY . I LOVE IT :]]]

I have had verizon prepaid for over a year and previously had tracfone. I love verizon and it works out to be cheaper even with the 99 cent daily charge. My husband has one also. I have the messaging bundle for 10 dollars extra a month I get unlimited verizon to verizon texts and 250 anyone texts. I never go over it. Most people I talk to have verizon and the ones that do not I text therefore I use my 250 text minutes that way. With tracfone it didnt matter who you talk to, you pay for the minutes and I always had to rush people off the phone so I did not use my minutes. With verizon I can talk to my husband for 2 hours straight and never have to worry about running out of minutes. It runs me 40-50 a month and my husband talks less so his is 30 a month. Consider plans and this is much cheaper without all the extra fees you see on your bill. You dont get a bill with prepay so you are in control. Best decision ever.

Verizon gets one star for this reason, bad return for your precious dollar. Verizon has a good network but is exceeding expensive.

I have a Verizon INPulse phone and it is pretty pricey. I think it has good reception. And for all of you that say ” Verizon Sucks” then go with AT&T or T-Mobile – The sucky service carrier(s). There is only 1 cons. Once you hit the send button they charge you immediantly. 5c gone. (this happened when i was calling my landline phone). I clicked talk and the minute it connected, BOOM! your 5c disapears. BEWARE OF THAT!

plan sucks and is way to expensive. You’ll will nickel & dime yourself to death with all the misc fees. Avoid this plan. Plus calls seem to mysteriously drop even when you are in a good” zone.”

WOW! this has to be the worst fone plan i’ve wasted money on. i paid $100.00 for a samsung blitz that cant even be activated where im from. thats complete BS. seriously if verizon is SOOOOO good then how come where you need service you have none?! Its a big WASTE OF MONEY!!!! ALLTEL is wayyyyy better. Just about everything is unlimited…im pretty much upset that i wasted money on something that was really pointless.

i really dont like prepaid cause 15$ only lasted like a week, when i was with alltel i only had to paid 20$ a month, but now i paid like 60 a month for verizon. they a better cheaper plan!

verizon prepaid sucks because you cant buy ringtones,etc. i dont like verizon prepaid because it is to expensive.id rather go to metro or cricket they offer much better services.you get pretty much everything unlimeted for $50 to $60 why go spend $50 on verizon prepaid and be out of miutes in one day beecause the miutes are really like 25 sec. thats a minute to verizon prepaid

My mother and wife both had paid for $15 cards and after one being in the hospital for two weeks and the other where the phone would not work, in Arkansas for ten days. Both were told their time had been used up. This is when neither had made any daily calls for ten days of the two weeks after they had bought the cards. I feel there is overcharging going on! They should have had $10 left, at least, and were “out of minutes” Are they charging the $.99 fee, whether or not the person truly uses the phone that day?! And I was also wondering if they might be calling all of those new offers over the phones and charging the $.99 fee even though they were marketing calls! Not happy at all with the expense when the phones were used only a few days.

At first I did not like my verizon Pre-Paid. I wanted to return it or sell it, but then Verizon did something unexpected. For twenty dollars a month, you can get unlimited texting with the prepaid, with no daily cost! Not as pricey now =)

i agree with maria i like tp text alot it is like so fun but i am gettin a new cell and i want the blue or black one that they show on the top idk when i am goin to get it well bye

I hate this plan i only been with them for about 2 months now and my mom is telling me to sell the phone. im a texter and a talker so i got the 2.99 plan with the unlimited text and its still not worker bout to go back to at&t they are way betterverizon is pricy and they dont care about their costomers!!!

BEWARE, I BOUGHT THE INPULSE PLAN IN MISSISSIPPI, AND HAD NO PROBLEMS IN MY AREA. I THEN DROVE ACROSS COUNTRY ON ROUTE 40 TO ARIZONA. ROAMING ALL THE WAY EXCEPT IN ALBUQUERQUE.WHAT GOOD IS A CELL THAT YOU CAN’T USE ON THE ROAD?

I don’t recommend this phone to someone who wants to use their cell phone every day; uses their phone to text; or likes to talk alot — the contract plans are much cheaper. But I call mine my “portable pay phone.” I use it only in an emergency, and most of the people I call are using Verizon, so I don’t get charged minutes with them. It’s a quality phone with quality reception.

ok i am an 11 year old boy and i got verizon for my 10th b-day i like it so far but that daily chrage is hell imo they take it out even when you dont use it

this is the best prepaid program. i tried them all. i like the daily access plan cuz the one i choiced gives me free nights and weekends. but wats a big hit to me is the messaege bundle service. u can choose from a $10 a month(unlimited Verizon costumer texting and 250 additional messages to other carriers but picture messaging cost) or $20 a month where i have unlimited messaging to any network.

Verizon wireless is (SIMPLEY THE BEST)! Yes i agree that it’s the most expensive service choice but i need reliability on demand and too date verizon has provided just that! Also the fact being that most everyone i know has a verizon cell phone so most of my calls are (IN) & don’t cost me much. In a nut shell the RELIABILITY & IN factor will force my continued bussiness relationship w/ verizon wireless! I don’t entertain texting on my pay as u go also i have been a customer of VZW since 2003 and VERY HAPPY . Seasons Greetings 2 all!

Verizon has served me well, I would not switch to anything else, I sware by it. Verizon wireless has never let me down regardless of when, where, why. I highly recommend Verizon Wireless to anyone.

I like the prepay plans.They are reasonable.My phone supports Web 2.0 surfing.It will say so on the back of the package.99 cent for 24 hours.Sorry Blue Samsung.

I had the old prepay plan that was so cheap for 5-6-yrs and they claimed someone hijacked”my account and i lost it.Wonder who hijacked it?I think the company did it.New plan too expensive.”

Verizon now had Texting packs.

this is the best prepaid program. i tried them all. i like the daily access plan cuz the one i choiced gives me free nights and weekends. but wats a big hit to me is the messaege bundle service. u can choose from a $10 a month(unlimited Verizon costumer texting and 250 additional messages to other carriers but picture messaging cost) or $20 a month where i have unlimited messaging to any network.

I love my Verizon phone and plan. I have the alias. I only pay 99 cents on days a make/receive a call. I have the 10 dollar messaging bundle with unlimited Verizon texting and 250 additional messages to other carriers. Service is always great as well.

i loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee it it is the best network ever

Verizon always works any where i go

they only charge u the days u use your phone it 99cents a day and 10 cents a minute ,1.99 a day and 5 cent a min ,or 2.99 aday and 2 cents a min and u can choose almost any of there phones to be prepaid

I had ‘verizon pay as you go’ for a while but found it very expensive compared to its competition. I found it best to buy a verizon prepaid phone for $30 at wal-mart & have cricket flash it over to thier service, which have much better no credit/contract plans.

I think that Verizon should do $15 a monthy for unlimited text to anybody for 30 days. I had Verizon for 5 years and i dont think ots good enough.

I love my prepaid phone. I spend about 70 a month. I had a contact phone and was spending the same amount. I have had my phone for 2 years and never once has it been shut off.

I have had this plan for a two years now and havent had any problems with it. I also added the unlimited messageing for an additional $10 a month and now I can text as much as I want. I pay $30 a month and dont have any problems with it.

It is the best! Think of it HIgh Quality product and it is cheaper then a contract plan and you dont need a credit check. What freedom!!

Love Verizon Pre Paid.There use to be an OLD one where it was .99 a day for unlimited nights and mobile to mobile. even if you didnt use it. then they changed it to .99 1.99 2.99.

Sept 6, 2008. North Florida.Wow! Glad I found this forum. I was getting ready to switch to Verizon, because AT&T has some weak signal spots in my area, and my Verizon friends don’t seem to have that trouble. I currently have Cingular/AT&T GoPhone service. The phones you get at Target/Walmart/wherever blow dead goats, but you can get a good phone on ebay. I’ve had 2 Razr’s (broke both within days), some bar phones, and now am using a Samsung flip. Used the same SIM card in all the phones; just pop it in and go. The per minute cost seems high (25c), but I never text and don’t yap that much, so I end up paying about $22/month. GoPhone also has a 10c/minute plan with a $1/day access on days the phone is used. Dunno about videos or music downloads, I don’t mess with that stuff; I use my phone for talking.

Okay, so it may not be the cheapest thing. All I do on mine is pretty much talk. All my friends/boyfriend has verizon so I get to talk to them for free”. The only prob is TXTING! I hardly to any of that. 10 per msg. Outgoing AND Incoming. May not seem like a whole lot. But it adds up.”

This plan is so annoying!!! I mean it’s so confusing, too! I asked two different people on the verizonwireless website about an important question…if the daily fee you pay is good for the rets of that day or for 24 hours…they both gave me different answers! So it is critical I get the correct answer because you can save/lose a lot of money by saying the correct/wrong answer! You also can’t buy any text plans so I have to tell my friends that I’ll text them first and don’t send me chain texts or anything since I don’t want to pay the daily fee! Even if someone has the wrong number and they call you and it goes to your voicemail, you STILL have to pay the fee!! Atleast that’s what one of the verizon workers told me. If your phone is off, and someone calls you, but they don’t leave a voicemail, but it still GOES to voicemail, you get charged!! It doesn’t even say missed call if your phone is off! Then I had a popular phone which they don’t sell anymore, but I tried to get ringtones from the site, but they said it wasn’t compatible. So I have to deal with these sucky ringtones. The only good thing about the plan is they still let you have free verizon to verizon phone calls. This plan would be good for someone who seldom uses their phone…. The only reason I don’t switch to say…Virgin Mobile who has atleats a decent prepaid plan is because their phones aren’t as attractive and I don’t want to lose the free verizon to verizon phone calls since a bunch of my friends have verizon. All in all I get really frustrated with this prepaid plan and the only reason I have it is because the down payment was too much.

I currently have Virgin Mobile pre-paid service for my 11 yr. old son. He recently requested the Verizon pre-paid because he likes their phones and the free mobile to mobile the plan offers. After checking the InPulse Plan out for myself, I realized that we would end up paying a minimum of $30 per month before taxes and surcharge fees with the cheapest plan. With Virgin Mobile, we are only contracted to spend $20 every 90 days. I spend a little more if he uses all his minutes. However, ultimately the plan is for emergencies and costs $120 per yr. I’M STICKING W/VIRGIN MOBILE.

I had Verizon monthly, and loved that they never dropped my calls in the mountains. In May, I switched to prepay. Vic told me I would only be charged on the days I used the phone (.99)And it would be cheaper to prepay $100.00, so I did. Now, it’s August and I find they have been charging me a dollar a day. My money is gone, and when I called, Stephanie & Gerrard (her supervisor) both said, essentially, “Tough Luck. you don’t have any proof they said that. I’m switching to another service, but I don’t know which one. Verizon is greedy and deceitful!!!

I had a verizon wireless card through verizon wireless and the salesperson promised no contract I trusted that when I signed the e-contract when I cancelled I had to pay the termination fee when I thought I was not on a contract. Either that or the remainder of the contract. What was unfair was how they sold it to me verbally saying it was not a contract when the terms of the econtract were something else and I trusted that salesperson verbally. Then I called to discuss this with a representative when I cancelled and the representative promised to reverse the fee before the last bill came out and then when I call again to talk to two supervisors, one says I cannot do anything about that at this point the termination fee is valid and the second says that the representative who agreed to reverse the fee reversed one of two termination fees (totally wrong and un-intelligent) and then the third supervisor says that it does not matter if the representative verbally promised the representative’s manager makes the final decision. Well this was not told me to when that representative reversed and disconnected my service and it was a false verbal promise. A verizon representative himself said frequently these misunderstandings occur in sales. Verizon is just lucky that I am not taking this to the law because I know about promises of verbal contracts as I have studied business but I will do everything in my power to make sure everyone I know does not buy from Verizon wireless. Corporate sharks, cheaters, losers, do not give them your money. They promised to reverse the fee and then do not answer the question “Is it illegal to promise a customer something over the phone and then not keep that promise”. All they can say is “you signed a contract” (which was also sold to me on the wrong terms) and then they say “you agreed to the termination fee in conversations” yes I did, with rude supervisors who say they “can’t do anything else at this point”, who will not say “okay” and then they say “the manager did not agree, the representative only promised something verbally” well they did not tell me that when they were promising me that verbally. Horrible business. Rude shark personalities.

It seems like a good idea at first but you run out of airtime very fast. Also you cannot text because it takes up too much of your min. You have to buy cards every 6 days it seems even if you are not even using your phone that often. Too expensive. (It is also very annoying that before every call you make there is someone telling you how many min. you have left.)

there should be a plan were u could get free text plan to any one. and pay 20 dollars montlhy plan or higher the 250 text thing

Honest to Goodness, i found a nice verizon phone, it’s a LG VX8300, and the previous owner wanted his phone back and i was gonna give it to him, but he harassed me so i never gave it back, well i figured out the security codes (last 4 digits of the number) and changed the phone into my own, bestowed upon me was Verizon’s INPulse plan, i was excited, annoyed, in love, outraged! what can i say it’s a valid love hate triangle, i’m not about to buy some other phone, i love the features on my phone, love the coverage, hate the rest, while i wouldn’t reccomend verizon to a friend or family, id still shamefully use it as i have been since i acquired an INPulse phone. Bottom line: all the thrills of a pricey plan, without actually having a “plan” you will PAY for the convenience of this phone, through the nose.

i love dat they have a 10 dollar montlhy plan for text messages!and da best part is its unlimited text messagin!

Verizon service is pretty good around here but at my home I get no service from anyone so my phone is only used when I am out at work or shopping or what not so the price of verizon prepaid is not for me. I have net10 and I spend 15 a month and It uses any cdma(verizon, Alltel) tower or gms(Cingular, AT&T) tower depending on the phone you get. So this is by far the best plan for me and there are no roaming charges. My friend has a Verizon prepaid and she spends close to 70 a month on her phone for minutes because of the .99 a day charge and text costs. It would be cheaper for her to get a contract plan. Anyone who uses their phone that much shouldn’t be using prepaid anyway.

I had the Verizon $60 monthly plan, which worked fine, except I never used all of the 400 minutes I got with that. Ever. So I was just wasting money. I switched to the prepaid phone which is even worse. I spend at least $15 a week, which obviously translates to the same price I was paying before, only with far, far, far fewer minutes. Either I pay more for too much, or more for too less. I wish they could provide a phone where you were billed each month for the minutes you used, not the minutes you could have used or the ones you’re not going to use. And if I have to listen to those damn automated messages demanding I give them more money for a service I’m hardly even using just one more time, I’m going to go crazy. Verizon prepaid is garbage, absolute garbage.

I’m Sorry but Verizon is a huge rip off when it comes to prepaid plans 15 dollar card last me about 3 days and thats barely texting and calling ridiculous

I purchase a impulse phone a little over a month ago, put in $50.00 in minutes, I hardly ever use my phone maybe 2-3 times in a week anyway I had just put minutes a day later a got a text message saying that my profile had been updated. That same afternoon I tried making a call and could not make the call or receive call, the next day I went to verizon store for help someone had stollen my minutes and my phone number and changed it to someones else phone and changed the # so it could not be tracked!!! verizon would not help me because I didnt know the pass word that the thef had used… in other words I’m left with out a phone and they stoled my minutes..

I just got my verizon phone with the prepay plan. I also have a tracfone, for several years. I’ll still be keeping it. I got the verizon phone because just about all of my family members, who are spaced far and wide in the U.S. have a verizon plan.So I can talk to them for almost free (Don’t forget the 99 cent thing) when using the phone.So here come the cons of the verizon plan. Do away with the 99 cents and up charge. Even though it’s only when you use the phone. I like tracfone because they offer a plan where for about 5dollars they will add a month to your phone when your month is about to run out when you still have a lot of minutes left and you don’t need to buy minutes.Of course It is good to have a credit card so they can take out the 5 dollars automatically. After awhile, when I get a lot of use out of the verizon phone, I’ll probably let it laps and later when I think I may want to try it again, I’ll re subscribe to it. I’ll get around the 35 dollar re subscribe fee some how. Verizon needs to use at least some of tracfones ideas. Also by the same token tracfone needs to get bigger selection of phones like the motorazr or others.

verizon wireless stinks.60 bucks a month even if you don’t use it!

i have the 99cent core and i only talk to people that have verizon and money takig away i can see if i was talking to someone who have t mobile.iam going to att.99cent it not good.and idont talk that much and stillcharge.need another plan.

I like it…I think its a good Idea…the only bad part is that I text like crazy so I think they need more text buddle plans…other than that one issue….I feel InPulse is great and I would probably recomend it to my friends….oh yeah and any one with the samsung in blue with the camera phone…how do you get online?…lol..thanks

ALLTEL IS WAY BETTER AND U SAVE A LOT. You pay the same amount that you pay on verizon prepaid and get A WHOLE LOT MORE!!! You get unlimited txting, free weekends, and u can call after 6 for free!!!On verizon u pay the same amount and u dont get any of it!! i thought verizon was good untill i switched to alltel.

I just left Verizon INpulse not long ago but I slightly miss it. For the exception of the rates, INpulse is a major improvement over companies like Virgin Mobile and Boost. I am 17 but I can’t stand the childish marketing (or whatever you’d call it) those two companies have (“top up” “where you at?”). The phones seem to be of excellent quality. I had the LG Chocolate (VX8500). Verizon has the best signal I’ve ever encountered with a cell phone company but their prepaid rates are nasty. $3 on days you use it just to get the unlimited nights and weekends. If you use it every day, that’d be $90 a month while some prepaid companies offer UNLIMITED calling for cheaper than that. If their rates were better, they’d be perfect. I just miss the signal and cell phone quality (I’m a cell phone junkie).

Verizon’s service is great, but why cant i download ringtones from the phone?? every other provider lets u do it with even crappier phones than verizon has. it doesnt make sense to me, but other than that, i like verizon

I had cingular contract before and they screwed me over so I vowed not to have contract again, I’ve had inpulse now for about 6months and I really like it, they changed it now so you only pay daily fee if you use it which is nice and the m2m is FANTASTIC!! Most of the people I call have verizon anyway so I don’t use many minutes, however I too think texting should be free after 9 like night minutes as well as free weekends. I would definately recommend it though! Also, we need a broader phone choice.

Verizon is pricy. Charging $1 per day for usage is a ripoff.

It’s true Verizon is not cheap. but ya get what you pay for. I love the Razr v3m being able to download music from the phone is too cool. I like the vzw mobile web too. I was pleased with virgin mobiles pricing when I had that service,but the phones are really childrens phones. as for verizons service being 24/7 I don’t know,I never had to call it,which is as it should be. I guess if you only talk there are cheaper companys. For me,I like and use lots of the features especially vcast music and web,also I.M.and pix place is really useful,you can text your pix to verizons site store it there send it to a lab to print you have your own free pic site to store stuff in video ,sound ,pix.etc. again if you just talk,unless you need good sound quality for some reason you can get cheaper…for lots of stuff verizon’s #1 for me.
