lg Env 3 prepaid?

[nwm4ever]

[SIZE=1] I guess Verizon now classified any phone having a full HTML bowser as an "advanced device"..... It would be nice if they would list them on their website as such, so prepaid customers would know up front which phones can and can't be activated on prepaid...

To some extent, they do: On their main page for prepaid plans, they have a list of phones they're willing to sell you for prepaid service. They ultimately make the rules on that sort of thing, ya know?

I'm sure there is a keyboard-equipped phone that VZW uses or has used in the past that will work. But I'm sure you realize why they don't maintain a list of discontinued VZW phones that are 'okay for prepaid' and another list for 'needs post-paid data plan', especially when they can make more money selling you a brand new handset.

They sticky-ed the following thread for a reason:

I really hope verizon changes that policy, it would be great to have the really good phones for prepaid. One advantage of GSM carriers like ATT is that the prepaid plans they offer can use any phone they offer since its by SIM card, although ATT's Gophone is aweful.

That's not exactly true.

You can always try Page Plus which uses VZW's network and allows pretty much all of VZW's phones.

This is what I was going to suggest. Cheaper and can use almost any VZW phone.

As covered a number of times already, since it's a phone that isn't allowed on VZW's pre-paid service (due to the fact that it has some enhanced data services like an HTML browser and requires being on a NW plan) you won't be able to activate it.

Dude, YOU ARE SPAMMING. Stop posting the same copypasta'd thing.

How do you figure that? The enV3 has an HTML browser which should make it ineligible for prepaid............unless I'm missing something.

I have the Motorola Rival A455 on the prepaid core $0.99 plan a day, and ALL of my features work, and it has an HTML browser. If you don't believe me, check on the internet everywhere or call 1-888-294-6804 . I don't have a data package either.

Vz may have relaxed a bit since a friend has that phone on prepaid with no issues. He may have just slipped through the cracks
