“Can this cell phone be purchased just as a back-up, emergency phone? Just to have a spare in case your original is lost or stolen? Also, can a pre-paid phone card be used instead of an ongoing monthly carrier? If so, how do I get a phone number?”

Hi there! Thanks for your interest. Sure, this device could very well serve as a back-up/emergency phone as it performs the basic functions of calling and texting, and then some ;) It can most definitely be used with a pre-paid service, all you have to do is purchase the device and take it to the carrier/purchase a SIM to get connected. Hope this helps!
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I can confirm that this works fine as a backup phone with AT&T. I bought it for that. I just put in my sim card and it works fine. Haven't really used it other than to play Snake but the phone works and I had no problems with it the few days I was testing it out
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. It can be used as a spare if you have another SIM card to use it with. I think you can buy those bring your own phone SIM cards and use it with this phone. They give you a phone number
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Absolutely! You can use it however you please since it an unlock phone, as long as you use a carrier that supports GSM signal such as AT&T and T-Mobile. Just buy a SIM card from them and insert in your phone and off you go.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You should be able to as long as you have a working SIM card. You can only use one phone at a time though. I'm not sure about prepaid. You need to get a phone number from your carrier.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes. You can buy it as a spare, then get a sim card(prepaid or postpaid) when you are ready to use it,
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I am using this as a pre-paid phone because I prefer to do it that way. I have always used T-Mobile and I believe some other providers do pre-paid as well.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, but you would need to not use the same phone number. If you are currently using a contract phone you could only use this phone as a pre-paid with a separate, pre-paid phone card SIM that would not support your current number.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.
