Welcome to Prepaid Phone News' regular Sunday Prepaid Phones on Sale this Week post listing the best current US prepaid and unlocked phone deals.
This week's Deal of the Week is the brand new Verizon Prepaid Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE Android phone on sale for $199.99 at Walmart.
The two year old Samsung flagship originally sold for over $500. It features a 5 inch 1080x1920px Super AMOLED screen, excelent 13MP main and 2MP front facing cameras, a quad-core Snapdragon 600 1.6 Ghz CPU, 2GB RAM, 16GB internal memory, SD card support and 2600 MAh removable battery. I don't know which version of Android Walmart's S4 ships with but an over the air upgrade to 5.0.1 Lollipop is available.
As a Verizon LTE phone, the S4 should work on Verizon MVNOs like Straight Talk, TracFone and Selectel as well as with Verizon Prepaid. In addition, the
S4 is a dual mode CDMA/GSM phone that's unlocked for use with GSM SIMs. It supports quad band GSM/Edge (850/900/1800/1900) and HSPA+/UMTS(850/900/1900/2100) and LTE bands 13 and band 4.

Dennis, I have the $30 t-mobile 5gb prepaid plan and as of this AM on my t-mobile account app there is an option of enabling/disabling Data Binge, do you know what this means?
ReplyDeleteit lets you stream video without it counting against your data
DeleteIt compress video and downscales it to 480p (DVD quality) reducing streaming video data consumption by two thirds.
Deletewow. so you can do the data binge thing on the tmo $30 no-so-secret plan.
DeleteVideo compression is supposed to be available on all T-Mobile plans. Video not counting against your data bucket is only on $60 and higher plans AFAIK.
DeleteIt claims to give you unlimited reduced quality video streaming that does not count against your data
ReplyDeleteVideo not counting against your data bucket is only on $60 and higher plans.
DeleteThe Deal Of The Week VZW Samsung Galaxy S4 from Walmart is upgraded to Android 5.0.1 Lollipop right out of the box. Source: 1 and Only Walmart Customer Review.
ReplyDelete@ Dennis. Probably a stupid question, but does this "S4 is a dual mode CDMA/GSM phone that's unlocked for use with GSM SIMs" work in reverse with a Verizon SIM if you have a Unlocked T-Mobile S4? Or are we only talking the Verizon version?
ReplyDeleteNo the T-Mobile S4 will not work on Verizon.
DeleteI did not think so, it is confusing on these dual purpose devices. Thanks for the reply. :)
DeleteIn this weeks Kmart ad, the Tracfone Pixie Pulsar is $19.99, half price.
ReplyDeleteI think you have a typo in the Target section. The Pixie Glitz should not be $39.99. It is normally $19.99, many times on sale for $9.99. Maybe you meant the Pixie Pulsar?
I've added Kmart Pixi Pulsar. Thanks for the tip. The Target Pixie Glitz prices are from the Target site so the typo, if any, is Target's.
DeleteSo a few months back I thought you had to use the Verizon prepaid service for at least 6 months prior to any of their phones working on any MVNO's? When did it change which is good news for the consumer.
ReplyDelete3G Verizon Prepaid phones have to be used on Verizon Prepid for 6 months before they will work on MVNOs. Verizon Prepaid LTE phones can be used on MVNOs immediately thanks to the open access requirement on Verizon's LTE spectrum.
DeleteDennis, I love this blog .. so much helpful information here, including the tips posted by your readers.
ReplyDeleteI'm still a newbie in regards to MVNO service offerings. Do you know if I would be allowed to use this S4 on a Tracfone 3G plan? Would I be required to buy Page Plus' LTE monthly plans for it? I don't know whether TF and PP allow pay-as-you-go plans on LTE-capable handsets.
Thanks for your help.
I am using an LG G3 LTE from Verizon on tracfone pay as you go I bought a bring your own phone LTE activation kit at Dollar General.
DeleteTracFone pay as you go allows Verizon LTE phones.
DeleteOn PagePlus they can only be used on $29.99 and higher plans.
Thanks very much, TQ and Dennis. I wanted a phone that could be used on either Verizon prepaid or TF's paygo plan.
DeleteWould I be able to use the S4 on AT&T's network?
ReplyDeleteYou could use the Verizon S4 on AT&T but it only supports 1 of AT&T's 4 LTE bands. New AT&T S4s are about $200 on eBay and would be a better choice for use on AT&T.

ReplyDeleteDennis, do you have any recommendations for excellent camera phones? The big review sites are pushing the latest flagships which is less than helpful for the prepaid customer ...
ReplyDeleteFlagships tend to have the best cameras. Older flagships like a Galaxy S4 or LG G2 are available new for about $200 and have better cameras than similarly priced current mid range phones. The iPhones 4 and 4s are even cheaper factory refurbished and have good cameras.
ReplyDeleteIf you are looking for something even less expensive, look for recent entry level Samsungs and LG's with 5 MP or better cameras with auto focus.
I was looking at the LG g stylo which is slated to get marshmallow and has a 13mp with laser focus. Not a bad deal for $50. Thanks
Delete@Anonymous -- Are you talking about the $50 (after rebate) Stylo from Cricket? I'll be surprised if Cricket decides to update the OS.
Deletethe lg g stylo on cricket is the lower end 8gb model not the model that sold on tmobile and metro pcs
DeleteWalmart - Verizon LG Optimus Zone 2 - $14.99 http://www.walmart.com/ip/Verizon-LG-Optimus-Zone-2-Prepaid-Smartphone/36182576
ReplyDeleteBest Buy- Verizon LG Optimus Zone 2 also $14.99
DeleteTextNow phones seem suspiciously underpriced. What's the catch?
ReplyDeleteShipping is expensive and you must pay for a month of service when you buy a phone. The phones run a modified ROM which may need to be replaced or tinkered with before they would be fully usable on another operator,
DeleteThe nexus 5 should be easy to liberate, right?
DeleteYes, just reinstall the stock ROM which is available from Google.
