Verizon Prepaid Cell Phones Review
Verizon presents itself as the most reliable network of the country and provides a wide range of prices and features, including new prepaid services. Now, Verizon offers prepaid cell phone plans.
All of their phones come with color screens and most of them include modern features including cameras, Bluetooth, etc. and by spending an initial $15 on your pay as you go account you are eligible for the same sort of phone subsidy as you would receive on a one year contract.
Verizon also provides many different downloadable items including ringtones, music, wallpaper, email, GPS navigator, games and more. Prices vary according to the plan and phone.
Plans
Verizon offers three pay as you go plans. The first, INpulse Core, charges 10 cents per minute and a 99 cent access charge each day that the phone is used. INpulse Plus offers calls at 5 cents per minute and a $1.99 daily access charge.
It also comes with unlimited nigh-time minutes (starting at 9 p.m.) and 5 cents per weekend minute. The INpulse Power plan offers 2 cents per minute calls with an access fee of $2.99 daily, coming with unlimited nights and weekends. All plans come with unlimited free call to other Verizon customers.
The Verizon Wireless EasyPay plan could be a much better choice than paying per minute on the INpulse plan, as it offers a number of minutes, nigh-time and weekend calls for the set price.
Text messaging with the INpulse Core plan will cost you 10 cents per message, whereas INpulse Plus charges 5 cents and INpulse Power charges just 2 cents per message. With the EasyPay plan text messages will cost you 10 cents to send and receive.
International messaging is also available costing 25 cents per message sent and 10 cents for each one received. Picture messaging is 25 cents to both send and receive.
Pros and Cons for Verizon Prepaid Cell Phones
Pros: Their options are a simple choice for prepaid calls that come with many features. There is also a great choice of phones for each plan you might choose. International calling is available and no extra costs are charged for calls to Puerto Rico.
Their plans also do not charge the access fee unless you use your phone (which includes sending and receiving calls).
Cons: The access charges can become quite expensive when you use your phone, and you could be paying almost $30 every month to use your phone with the INpulse Core cell phone plan if you need to make or receive calls every day.
