3-13-16 UPDATE. This phone is still a great value for anyone looking for a basic but solid 4G LTE smartphone. I passed it on to my sister and I can confirm I was able to successfully activate it with Straight Talk Wireless.
Straight Talk CDMA 4G LTE
This was done after deactivating service with PagePlus. The biggest issue to point out is the memory. With only 8GB of memory and 4GB of those are used for system files. You're left with very little to work with. My suggestion is don't install facebook, use Chrome browser for most tasks. Disable the pre-installed Verizon apps and Google apps such as Google Books and Magazines if you don't need them. When downloading apps check to see if they are transferable to the SD using the Application Manager. I followed these steps and was able to install an additional 18 apps with about 2GB left of memory.
This smart phone is perfect for everyday use. It has a very compact, sleek body packed with the works. Read up on the specs. I highly suggest if you're already planning on going the prepaid route to buy this phone and activate it on Page Plus Cellular. I was able to activate this phone with Page Plus out of the box. You also need a 4G SIM card and a PIN card or add airtime using a credit/debit card at the time of activation. Page Plus just revised their plans this week.I recommend the "55" plan, that's unlimited nationwide talk, text, unlimited international text, a whopping 5GB of data at full 4G speeds(then speeds are reduced to 2G) and $10 worth of international phone calls for $55. When compared to Verizon's Prepaid plans this deal is a steal. I will leave links to the SIM card, a case and a screen protector that I purchased here on Amazon.com as well. Get this phone, get Page Plus. You won't be disappointed.
