Verizon Prepaid Cell Phone Plans (Daily Access)
I feel it’s necessary to do an updated review on Verizon’s prepaid cell phones. Things have changed quite a bit since my earlier review. Verizon offers 3 groupings or categories of plans.

Do Reverse Phone Lookups Work on Prepaid Cellphones?
When you have a telephone number, you can often access both the name and address associated with it without any other information. This process is called a reverse phone lookup.

The other day, my daughter voiced her opinion about having the standard ringtones that came [...]

Upgrading Verizon Prepaid Cell Phones
Back in December I wrote a post about receiving a discount for upgrading a Verizon prepaid cell phone.
