Save Money On Your Cell Bill
I’m currently overpaying for my cell bill, and you probably are too. Admit it. I’m paying $49.98 a month for 300 Minutes, 1000 Night and Weekend Minutes, No Data Included, and 1,000 SMS/MMS messages per month. I know I could save ten bucks a month by going to T-Mobile, but T-Mobile’s coverage in my area isn’t exactly the best around. I’ve found an even better option: Page Plus Cellular.
Page Plus is a MVNO (Mobile Virtual Network Operator) that has been around for well over ten years now. And, they have excellent coverage as they use the Verizon network. Before I found Page Plus, I was looking at Straight Talk (which also uses the Verizon network). I was in Walmart looking at AT&T’s new phones and I passed the green Straight Talk display and was amazed by their $45 unlimited plan. That’s actually what gave me the inspiration to look for new cell phone service.
My complaint about Straight Talk is that you HAVE to use their phones. And, frankly, their phones suck. For prepaid phones, they’re great. But, I like nice phones. Straight Talk does offer the $45 unlimited talk/text/data plan, which I agree is awesome. But, their phones (except the Finesse, but it’s $300) are basic phones which really wouldn’t take advantage of the data, rendering the “unlimited data” practically useless.
Page Plus offers 1200 Talk Minutes, 1200 Messages, and 50 MB of data per month, and lets you bring your own phone (I just bought a Samsung Saga off ebay to use with it). I think the 50 MB Page Plus offers on the smart phone is better than the unlimited data Straight Talk offers on their basic phones. Page Plus also offers an unlimited plan which includes unlimited talk and text (plus 20MB data) for $39.95 a month. I think both of theses are great deals and are definately worth checking out. I’m switching to Page Plus right now (literally) and am going to be saving $20+ per month, and be on Verizon’s awesome network.
