Is anyone using PagePlus for cell phone service? How is it? OR any cheap unlimited text plan?

Dec 23, 2011 2:45 PM

I wanted a low cost, unlimited text, cell plan, and a phone with qwerty keyboard. I plan on never use voice unless for an emergency. I tried a T-Mobile phone, because the map says it covers my area but the phone did not work and when I called technical support they told me it would not work in my area.
I did research and found I need CDMA network (Verizon towers).
I found PagePlus.
The plan: Buy the $10 100 Minutes Voice Card good for 120 days (renew 3 times a year), add the Power Text Unlimited $20 a month. This gives me a total yearly phone bill of $270.

Has anyone used PagePlus? Is there a better solution?

That sounds like a pretty inexpensive plan. I have to pay $50/month for unlimited texting/talking through T-Mobile with no contract, which is fine because I used to be prepaid and spent that much anyway for a limited number of minutes, but fifty bucks a month ($600/year) is still steep.

I use Virgin Mobile, $35.00 a month gets you 300 talk minutes and unlimited text, data, messaging and e-mail. Haven't had any issues with them as far as coverage or dropped calls. Comes out to $420 a year. $45 a month gets you unlimited data, text, etc and 1200 talk minutes.

Obviously I don't talk on my cell phone a whole lot so the talk minutes are no big deal for me.
$55 a month gets you unlimited text and talk.

I wanted to add the T-Mobile plan I picked was http://prepaid-phones.t-mobile.com/prepaid-plans $15 a month for unlimited text, the minutes were $.10. Too bad no coverage for me : (.

Is MetroPCS available in your area? They offer unlimited everything (voice, text and data) with no contracts for a very reasonable (IMHO), taxes-and-fees included price.

@secretagentman02: Thank your for your suggestion.
But MetroPCS gave me:
You have entered a zip code that is not within a MetroPCS service area.

I finally bit the bullet and got Verizon. What finally made me decide on it was I am getting a discount on my plan from my employer, and bundled with my DirectTV discount. Uggg having buyers remorse today... because of the 2 year contract... I miss you http://republicwireless.com

I would recommend Boost Mobile and Page Plus prepaid plans because they work on Sprint (Boost) and Verizon (Page Plus) nationwide reliable network.

I got many negative feedbacks regarding Metro PCS service - dopped calls and weak signal. Virgin Mobile covers only local areas.

There is a simply rule when you pick a provider, you get what you pay for. You can save a lot using small carrier with limited minutes but get ready to have no signal if you like to travel out of town and count your minutes left.

Page Plus is AWESOME, for 29.95 I get 1200 minutes/3000 texts/100MB's of data... the best part is you can use almost any verizon phone without flashing them. They also have a few other plans:

Unlimited Talk n Text
$39.95 Talk n Text

The Unlimited Talk n Text plan offers unlimited domestic voice minutes, unlimited domestic text messages, and 20 megabytes of data transfer. All this for $39.95 a month on one of largest networks in the nation.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 55 Unlimited Talk, Unlimited Text/Picture Messages, 500 MB of Data

The 55 plan offers unlimited domestic voice minutes, unlimited domestic text messages, and 500 megabytes of data transfer. All this for $55 a month on one of largest networks in the nation.

PLUS if you sign up for the $55 plan before the end of February u get double data for the rest of the year at no charge...

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
