Page Plus is a prepay wireless
service that uses the Verizon wireless network. Airtime is 6-12c
depending on the refill card. Airtime expires in 120 days. SMS is 8c
to send and receive.
Due to the use of bonus minutes on refills above $10, your actual
airtime and SMS rate may be lower than the advertised rate. Steve was
kind enough to give an example:
If you buy a 1400 minute card, they add $168 to
your account, even though the 1400 minute card has a face value of $80
(and I've bought it
for as little as $73.72 from "http://www.callingmart.com/products/wireless/ProductDetail.aspx?ID=30"
with a coupon code that gives 3% off their $76 regular price).
So in reality, the monthly fee can range from 22¢ to 50¢, depending on
the size card you buy ($10/83, $25/300, $50/700, or $80/1400), and how
much you pay for it (face value or less).
The discounted refill cards bring the actual cost per minute down to as
low as 5.3¢.
Similarly, while texting costs 8¢ each (send or receive) this is in "PagePlus
money." Actual texting cost can be as little as 3.5¢
[These bonus minutes can be used on standard prepaid and the night and
weekend plan. There are no bonus minutes when using the unlimited
anytime 24/7 plan. However, you can load up your account before
switching to this plan].
For standard prepaid, a fee of 50c is charged on the 25th of every month.
