Currently I have Simple Freedom Wireless with a Nokia 3585i phone. I also have Verizon Wireless service. Now, lets say I get a Nokia phone, like a cool flip phone, is it true that I can still have a prepaid service on that phone, or is it only on certain phones?

Any help will be appreciated!

With CDMA, it could be a bit tricky. I would call up Verizon and ask them if they would let you upgrade to a new phone even if it's on prepaid. With a GSM phone, all you would have to do is to get a new GSM phone and swap the SIM card into the new phone.

It seems that the answer is Yes according to this:
