I was looking at Verizon Prepaid devices and I saw this http://www.verizonwireless.com/prepaid/smartphone-plans/moto-g-by-motorola+prepaid/
Has anyone else seen that?
Is it possible to use a Pre-Paid phone on a line with a monthly bill?
Where do you see a reference to a monthly bill? Am I missing it?

I think he is asking if you can use the prepaid VZW Moto G on a postpaid plan.
The answer is yes, but you have to activate the phone by dialing *228. It'll prompt you for your postpaid phone number of the line you want to activate it on, and ask you for your numeric account password. After that, voila, you've got an amazing phone for only $99. I know, because I just did it myself a couple weeks ago.
But don't ask Verizon to activate it for you. They'll tell you that you need to have it active on a prepaid plan for 6 months before it can be moved to a postpaid plan.
I wonder if activating like you said on postpaid would clear the phone for activation on Page Plus.

I doubt it... Activating *228 doesn't change anything on the phone, it just allows you to circumvent the activation restrictions VZW places on devices on their end when you try to activate by web or directly through them.

I just received a letter in the mail from AT&T stateing that they would be adding "mobile to any mobile calling" to my messaging plan at no additional cost. Now, my question is, since they are changing my plan without my consent, am I able to get out of my two year contract without playing the ETF? I apologize if this has already been discussed, just provide the link.

No they are giving you an additional service for free.

I figured I was wishful thinking...
Though if the Nexus Prime is everything is "supposed" to be, I might have to break contract for it...

Does anyone know of they have them? I'm going to straight talk soon but I need a micro sim for the One X.

Yes, they have both regular and micro sims. After you pick your carrier (at&t compatible, t-mobile compatible or unlocked), it will give you the option for sim size.
You could just cut it too.

Where can you buy them? Also, is straight talk considered prepaid? Do I buy minutes?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Don't know about where to buy them besides Walmart, but its prepaid.
There's plans so you don't have to buy minutes.

You can get them from straight talks website for 15. I think was looking for a friend a while ago.

The sim cards can only be purchased through the website. They don't sell them at Walmart. Straight Talk is considered prepaid, although not in the traditional sense. You don't buy minutes, because the plans are essentially all-you-can-eat. I like to think of it as post-paid without the contract - since prepaid to me means I put X dollars on my account and it deducts whatever from it depending on what I do.
With the sim card, you have to get the $45/month or $60/month (international) plan. To refill, you either buy a card, or set up the autofill option when making an account. With the autofill option, the plan is essentially the same as having a plan through at&t. Once per month it will charge $45+taxes and fees to your credit card, and you'll have unlimited talk, text, and data.
Beyond that it's very easy to set up. The kit you receive via FedEx has all of the settings, and the website activation is really easy to use. The last time I helped someone setup an account with Straight Talk, it took about 15 minutes including porting a number from Verizon.
I just cut my regular Straight Talk sim down to micro size and it worked just fine.

Straighttalksim.com. Plan is $45 a month. Sim card is $15
I'm going to get a used Samsung galaxy s 2 skyrocket in a few, and I was wondering if I could get att's gophone service on it? I would love the 50 dollar a month service but it seems a little bit too good to be true. Anybody have any info or tips for me? Or will this work out? Thanks in advance!

I'f I'm not mistaken you must have a specific type of gophone sim card for it to work, like one out of a prepaid smart phone through them. I highly recommend looking at straight talk. They have a BYOD "Bring Your Own Device" program where they will sell you an AT&T compatible sim card with unlimited everything for $45.00/month. That's what I'm using and my service is phenomenal, no dropped calls, get service in building's etc....
And straight talk is cheaper...how is their internet speeds? Fast or slow, because its not a straight talk phone so I'm assuming that the speeds will be kept at a minium.

I use straight talk with my skyrocket and I average between 3-7 mbps.

Cool, that's good enough for me. I did the math and att has got to be crazy for what they want with a smartphone plan. 50 dollars a month for 250 min for talk, unlimited text and 1gb of data for 50 a month??? Crazy! Thanks again for the straightalk suggestion! I just ordered the att sim card for it.. but how did you get your phone unlocked so you could get straight talk?

You do not have to unlock your phone to use it with straight talk because the sim card you purchase through them is for att compatible phones so it's the same bands minus lte. When you get the sim card in the mail there will be instructions on how to activate the sim and add an apn.

You are a life saver bro! Now I don't have hunt att down to get a unlock code. Thank you for this info! Can't wait to get my Sim card i'm the mail!

just make sure you remove the trakfone proxy because some services reject access to it, causing the app(s) to return network errors and become unusable.
Thanks for the heads up. So not putting the proxy number in it won't effect the overall service right? Like the texting and calling?

So here's the situation. I plan on activating on Sprint. Then waiting until my contract expires and then heading to T-Mobile. Anyone know of any issues I might run into. I would think it would be as simple as a SIM card swap.

The only thing that you might have to do is manually enter the T-Mobile APN. Probably not though, I have a Sprint N5 and my APN's were set automatically when I put in my T-mobile Sim.

Simple as a SIM swap. I bought a Sprint nexus 5 and am running it on straight talk with no issues. Just needed a reboot. You might have to add the correct APN settings for your carrier. But that is pretty straight forward.
Ok thanks for the info. I just wanted to make sure. Didn't want to accidentally lock it to Sprint somehow.

Hi I'm looking to find a way to carrier unlock my mothers droid ultra (Verizon) she's looking to switch to straight talk is there a way for me to do it without paying a company to send me the unlock code? If not does anyone have experience with going from vzw to st with an non unlocked device?

afaik, its already unlocked and I have seen here saying its working on T-Mob Nano SIM without an issue (2G and reframed 3G, but NO LTE). But I am NOT from US, so some other members can be more accurate than me...

Hey.. I was using mine on straight talk. Now I'm using it with cricket and still works fine. I get H+ most of the time but sometimes and in certain places I get LTE.
No unlock code needed. And I have the latest update. Not rooted or anything. 100% stock.
