Does internet work on prepaid connection in Note 2 ?

Q. I'm planning to buy a Samsung Galaxy Note II. The dealer told me that the new phones don't support internet connection on a prepaid sim. Is it true ? Do I have to change my prepaid connection to postpaid to access internet ?

Q. When my phone (Samsung Galaxy Note II) is sitting in its dock, otherwise not being used, I want it to do some cool tricks and look interesting on my desk. I have a music visualizer that can use the mic as its input and thereby visualize the sounds of my office, but that gets boring quickly. Photo slide show is super lame too. If the folding@home project wasn't over, I'd want an app for it. Anyone have suggestions for turning my phone into some kind of eye-catching desk ornament or something like that?

A. One idea is to make it show the time, date and weather, but that requires the daydream feature in Android 4.2, which you don't have. For now, you can go into clock, then desk clock, then personalize it and make it fulscreen.

Q. Like the Samsung Galaxy Note II is only $149 on Amazon mobile and its $299 on the Verizon website, Why is that? Do you get the same coverage and support with both? Which is better?

A. With third party retailer such as Best Buy, Target or Amazon Mobile Verizon they tend to give you more discounts than actually buying a cell phone at the actual cell phone company (Verizon) store. The prices are better at these retailers. However their knowledge of cell phones when you ask them is not great when you ask them a question on features of the phone compared to those working at a Verizon Store. At Verizon store theiir sales person are very knowledgable in term of phones and its features. Both retailers such as Amazon Mobile and Verizon will require a 2 year contract and they will do a credit check before you are approved of services. Coverage is still the same since it uses Verizon network.
