It should also work on Sprint MVNOs. So far the best I have seen for my situation is NetZero at $8 per month for 100 minutes. That'll work. And I entered my meid number and they say my phone is compatible. My biggest problem will be getting folks to call and text my new work number since I really don't want to be texting on that old flip phone.

The Razr ve20 will likely only work on Sprint since it is a CDMA only phone.

I just got a smartphone at work so I am considering closing my personal full service Sprint account for my Galaxy SIII and just using it as a wifi device.

Meanwhile I have an old Motorola Razr VE20 that had run on Sprint network that is still in great shape. I'd like to activate that device on a cheap talk/text only (no data) plan to use as a backup phone while hiking/cycling etc. and to keep my phone number.

Seems like these plans are hard to find amongst all the hype for smart phone plans. Ideally I'd like to find a prepaid voice only plan that would cost me less than $10 month... or better yet one that bills only for usage which will be next to nothing.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?
