Verizon prepaid questions

[walterg1]

Right now I'm on Virgin Mobile, on the Sprint network.
I have a LG Volt triband phone.
95 percent of the time I get 3g service, some time you lose all service, even tho I should be getting 4g LTE.

I've checked the map, I'm in a 4g. LTE area.

I pay $45 a month for my service. Total plus tax.
Unlimited data soft capped at 2.5 gb.

Now for the Verizon questions.

Are there any hidden fees?

Do you get the full coverage area or is their a separate coverage for prepaid?

By reading on the site I cant even figure out if you need to use one of their prepaid phones or will one of their regular phones work?

Anything else you can tell me id appreciate it.
I believe it said you had to use a new or used phone from Verizon.
So no Best Buy or other sources.
Thanks, for any help you can give.

you should check out Straight Talk (AT&T) or AT&T GoPhone.

buy phone directly from Google (Nexus 6/X) or Moto G if on a budget.

good luck!

Reading from there website, just there one plan is enough to get me confused. I have virgin mobile as well but using a iphone, I have the LG Volt it is on boost mobile it is not activated. IMHO I would look at other plans else where, verizon's plan look to me as though you pay extra money for very little gain for your money. I do not have 4g LTE coverage where I am, but maybe take a look at t-mobile or as Gekko mentioned straight talk or att.

Thanks,
AT&T was pretty bad in my area, but its been awhile sense I switched. They might be better now. I will check into it.
Id really like to have either a Nexus 5 or Moto X.

Thanks, I will check into T-Mobile. I'm not sure how their service is in my area.
Verizon I cant make sense of their website. Overpriced for prepaid also.
Its funny today 4g is staying in better then it has been.
Maybe Sprint is working in my area.

Remember there are other services out there, just choose the one that you believe is best for you. I have t-mobile with my lumia 521, it's been pretty okay with coverage.
