Most wireless carriers can do this. Because most cell phones have a software lock, they must be activated as a prepaid phone on the same carrier (Verizon, Cingular, T-mobile, etc) for which the phone was originally activated.
Take your phone to a carriers office (or call in). Do NOT go to an 'authorized dealer' or 'licensed representative'. These dealers are not actually part of the company and are typically limited in the types of support they can provide their customers.
A sales representative should be able to assist you from there.

∙ 11y ago1) As of July 2012, U.S. Cellular will NOT port your existing U.S. Cellular phone number over from "post-paid" (contract) to one of their new pre-paid (prepaid) plans.
2) Not every U.S. Cellular phone can be used on the pre-paid (prepaid) plan. Check with them by calling them.
3) If you are still under contract with U.S. Cellular, you will have to "buy-out" of it and pay a penalty to now switch to their pre-paid (prepaid) plan....but remember, you can't keep your phone number.
4) This law about keeping your phone number ONLY applies from one carrier to another- it does NOT apply within the same carrier. They have to let you keep your old phone number, but the "new" carrier does not have to accept it!

What is the best prepaid phone?
There is not one "best prepaid" phone as the options on each brand/provider vary in great numbers. Not everyone needs the latest phone with gadgets that turn on your stove at home and water the lawn. Some users only want a phone to talk ... remember just plain and simple talking?
Can you turn a Verizon iPhone 4 into prepaid?
Yes you can - simply speak to your network provider. Assuming your contract has passed its minimum length, it's simply a case of changing the accout from a monthly fee to a prepaid one. Your network provider will issue a final bill from your monthly contract, and should issue you with a 'top-up' card - or you can use a debit/credit card to add money to your phone's account.

I want to know the quality of phone service such as dropped calls. I also want to know what the benefits are of a no contract phone.?
The quality of service from a no contract phone depends heavily on the carrier. The more money the carrier invests in joining area cell phone towers, the greater the area of service. In turn, if you have a no contract company who has a wider network of coverage, you are more likely to not have any issues such as dropped calls or text messages that cannot be sent. Obviously one of the main benefits of a no contract phone would be the absence of the contract. You aren't obligated to remain with the carrier if you choose to leave for another carrier. Many people see this as the way to go because most of the time, no contract phones have bills that aren't as expensive.
