if others say its verizon then it is. i canceled the plan on my "free" phone as soon as i got the $180 bill (walmart cell plan costs $45 for better quality network) Verizon is crooks so I switched but the say I own for early termination. Tell Verizon to suck eggs. They call my phone 5 times a day but do not say anything if i answer and dont leave messages. They call to annoy and harass
