Do you need a plan if you have a prepaid Verizon Wireless cell phone?

Verizon Wireless offers Pay As You Go, daily-rate and monthly-rate plans to their prepaid cell phone customers, as of 2015. Pay As You Go customers pay only for the minutes and texts they use with no monthly bills. Monthly plans include data and unlimited talk and texts.

All Verizon prepaid options apply to basic cell phones, smart phones and tablets. Pay As You Go and daily plans charge a daily access fee only on days when prepaid customers use their phones. Customers can purchase increased data capacity or add extra money to their accounts to buy apps and ring tones. Customers may purchase refill cards online and in Verizon stores.
