I am on PagePlusCellular now, and I love it because it’s only $29.95 a month. The only downside is that they don’t activate any 4g phones, so I am limited to the Droid Incredible 2, Droid 2, and older phones. I looked around, and Virgin Mobile prepaid is $35.00 a month, and they have many of the newer phones available, such as the Galaxy S3, iPhone 5, etc… They only allow their own phones on the network, so you buy the phone from Virgin, and that’s it. That’s one of the only negatives I have found so far.
My mom and brother have it and they are constantly getting calls dropped, texting is super delayed on incoming. They don’t even get a signal in our house Lol
That’s not what I am asking about. I currently only have 500 megs of data at 3g speeds, and it’s fine. Even being capped at 2 gb for 4g speed would still be a HUGE upgrade for me. I don’t want to spend $45 a month.
If they had a plan that was $29.95 or $35.00 a month with no contract, I would consider it. I don’t use my personal phone that often, so I don’t see the need to spend double or triple what I pay now, for features I don’t use.
Interesting! That is the kind of feedback I am looking for. It uses the Spring network, which I don’t have much experience with. I know that with both ATT and Verizon (which Page Plus uses), I get great signal, but I haven’t had Sprint in over 8 years now, so I don’t know what their current tower system is like around here. I don’t make calls too often, so the dropped calls thing isn’t too big of a deal to me, but I don’t want super delayed texts.
Is it though? That’s what I am trying to figure out. Currently I have $29.95 a month on Verizon’s network, so it’s not shitty service at all. Is Sprint’s service shitty around here? Their coverage map shows it to be good, but I dont’ know many people who have them.
I pay…well work pays for it but its $140 for 2 iPhones on AT&T upgrade every 2 years unlimited text, calls, and 4Gb of data and tethering on both phones.
Comparable plan on Virgin Mobile is $55 a month on each phone + whatever taxes are + paying full $569 each for iPhones.
And “All plans include 2.5GB/month of high speed data, including 4G speeds in 4G coverage areas for capable devices.” :tif:
PagePlus is 69.99 for each phone for a plan that matches my AT&T plan
obviously when your needs jump the value doesn’t hold with these cheap plans, but if the $30 plan meets your needs there are some serious savings over time to be had.
again, you’re trying to build a bad scenario. a lot of people already have a phone and just want to switch to a cheap plan and save 30-60 a month. it’s not going to work for everybody.
Well, the phone is $260, so it’s not that big of a deal, I am more interested in the network and customer service. I know consumer reports rates them pretty high, but quality is very location based, so it would be good to hear from people who actually use them in western NY.
unlimited talk $70 + 300mb $20=$90, and who doesnt use texts nowadays? so plus another $20 for text and after all taxes you are in the neighborhood of $130 per line. it’s a night and day comparison. pageplus 1200 min, 3000 texts, 500mb data for $30 flat!
For the extra $300/year, I’ll stick to Verizon…the peace of mind knowing that when I roll my car in the country at 2:00am and I’m bleeding out through my ruptured spleen, that I’ll have 4 bars.
