can a galaxy s4 be used for a pre pay customer?

No. Prepaid is restricted to 3G EDVO only phones.

Verizon Prepaid Users to Get Access to LTE? | DSLReports, ISP Information

But that may be changing. See story above.

Good Luck

If it is true, it could change the answer. However it is a rumor at best at this point. Today right now, a 4G LTE smartphone is compatible with the prepaid plans offered by Verizon Wireless.

No rumor, Lady Ann.

The information is also on the Wall Street Journal and other places. I was reading last night the only part that is not too clear is cost. But you could be correct that it is just a teaser. (Rumor)

Good Luck

Until it is in an official press release I will not take unsubstantiated information (rumors) as fact. Even if the New York Times reported it. For years customers wanted to share their data plan with other people on their account. It happened, but not in ways I believe many of those customers were expecting. If 4G LTE smartphones are allowed on Verizon Wireless prepaid, it could come with all sorts of restrictions and conditions ie only certain devices are allowed, plans changes, price increases, etc. I want to know what those conditions and restrictions are before claiming 4G LTE phones could be on the VZW prepaid plans.

As with any news release the premise is truthful until its disproved. I guess on the 17th. We will know

In government releasing bogus information is quite common to the news medias. In that case its a deflection tactic. Cannot let the people know what we plan on doing to some poor unnamed country.

The funny part is Verizon is not rebuttaling the news reports.

I've never seen Verizon either confirm OR deny news reports in the past, whether they were right OR wrong. This is no different.

Sort of like how Apple does not respond to all that leaked new device rumors

I have noticed in Apples and Verizon's cases that the rumors and news reports turn out truthful.

I will be watching the Verizon Web site on the 17th. To see what Verizon has to announce.

Verizon Looks To Improve Subscriber Adds With 4G Launch For Prepaid - Forbes

Mentions something called an Allset Plan?

[Ann154]

The ALLSET plan has been around a while now. I read the original article Forbes referenced http://www.droid-life.com/2014/07/03/verizon-prepaid-is-finally-getting-4g-lte-likely-on-july-17/ and there are unknown variables remaining. I want the official details. Until then my stance on the subject won't change.

[#12]

Which is your right!

I only bring the news, I don't make it ha ha

Darn, I left out one tiny word. It should say 4G LTE smartphone is not compatible with the prepaid plans offered by Verizon Wireless.

[jaywiljen]

[#16]

No my friend. Verizon prepay do not use the SIM card GSM technology
