Verizon Prepaid Flip Cell Phones & Smartphones

Verizon Prepaid Mobile Flip Cell Phones and Smartphones

Keep it low-maintenance with Verizon prepaid flip cell phones and smartphones. These prepaid models let you avoid the rigidity of a multi-year plan, and you get to pay what you can for the amount of minutes and data you require monthly. Here are some commonly asked questions to consider when making a selection.

This depends on the prepaid plan you select. Some plans let you pay for a certain amount of minutes and texts per month. Some plans let you augment this amount by adding funds throughout the month using your credit card or a phone card. There are also some month-to-month plans that offer unlimited data, talk, and text for a specified amount.

Verizon is a major cellular service provider compatible with an enormous variety of brands, including brands like Motorola, Kyocera, and Samsung. You have the added choice of perusing and selecting a plethora of Verizon-friendly models available from each brand. For example, some recent Samsung models designed for Verizon service are the Gusto, Smooth, and Convoy. Verizon-compatible brands and models vary seasonally, but some other recent examples include:

• Casio
• Pantech
• LG
• ZTE

Flip models are quite comparable to anything else on the market, boasting an array of features like 3G and 4G data capabilities, front and rear cameras, media players, and touchscreen. Depending on the model, you may also enjoy Bluetooth connectivity with compatible devices, GPS, high capacity batteries, and voice-activated dialing. Wi-Fi capability is also fairly standard, letting you browse as needed on your secure private network or on a free, open, public network.

CDMA is one of two major radio systems cellular models rely on to receive and transmit data. The other main system is the Global System for Mobiles, or GSM. Sprint, US Cellular, and Verizon are CDMA in the United States. GSM is much more common in other parts of the world. Luckily, you can still use your prepaid Verizon phone while traveling, although you may need to add an international plan to your prepaid monthly service.

Dual SIM gives you the freedom of using one of two SIM cards when traveling abroad with your 3G or 4G Verizon cell. This occasionally means you get to take advantage of less expensive overseas rates, since using your domestic SIM card might incur a ton of international roaming charges. Similarly, "global ready" Verizon prepaid models let you use your same carrier and same number to connect seamlessly to overseas networks without incurring substantial fees.
