Page Plus officially adds $12 plan

Joe — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 12:30:19 +0000

We knew this was coming, but now it’s official: Page Plus has added a $12 monthly plan. For that price, one of the lowest-priced monthly plans on the market, you get 250 minutes, 250 messages, and 10MB of data. Picture messages are included in the 250 messages, but the transfer counts against your 10MB of data allotment. The plan, called The 12, is now available at Page Plus’s website.

Page Plus makes Unlimited Talk N Text price change official

Joe — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 12:30:21 +0000

Last week we learned of possible changes to Page Plus’s Unlimited Talk N Text plan. In April, 2010, Page Plus raised the price from $39.95 to $44.95. They’ve now reversed that, lowering the price back to $39.95. In the same press release they also confirmed their new 12 dollar monthly plan, which provides 250 minutes, 250 messages, and 10MB of data. The new pricing on Unlimited Talk N Text is available now at Page Plus’s website. The 12 dollar plan will be available later this month, likely on December 20th.

New plans coming for Page Plus?

Joe — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 12:30:13 +0000

It seems that every time Page Plus offers new plans, we see it leaked on message boards first. That’s the case now, though I have seen one of these rumors elsewhere before today. That involves the Unlimited Talk n Text plan, which offers unlimited minutes and text messages, plus 20MB of data. It currently costs $44.95, but that will get a price cut to $39.95. This is actually more of a price return than a price cut: in April, 2010, Page Plus raised the price of Unlimited Talk N Text from $39.95 to $44.95. Things will be back to normal once these new plans go into effect.

What’s really interesting is the new plan from this rumor. If true, it would be unrivaled in the prepaid world.

This new rumored plan includes 250 minutes, 250 text messages, and 10MB of data for just $12 per month. It’s hard to find any service that costs only $12 per month. It might deliver a low level of service, but for light users this might become the best deal on the market — especially after many carriers have raised their per-minute rates. Even with the 10 cents a minute rate from Net10, you’d be paying well more than $12 for just the 250 minutes, never mind the text and data.

Again, this is just a rumor, but most Page Plus rumors do end up becoming reality. They inform dealers of their plans before launch, and dealers, it seems, have loose lips. The reported launch date for the new plans is December 20th. You’ll be able to get the plans on Page Plus’s website.

Page Plus adds $55 unlimited Talk N Text plan

Joe — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 16:00:51 +0000

It’s a little late but Page Plus has delivered a new Unlimited Talk N Text option. We originally heard that the $55 plan, dubbed The 55, would come out on October 25th, but the announcement came just yesterday. It offers unlimited minutes and text messages, plus 500MB of data, for $55 per month. As with all Page Plus plans, MMS usage counts against the data plan, not the text messages. You can sign up for The 55 at Page Plus’s website.

You can get the iPhone on Page Plus…

Joe — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 15:47:06 +0000

Update: PhoneNews has an update from Page Plus, which basically says no, they’re not supposed to activate the iPhone at all. If you do get an iPhone activated, then “it could be subject to deactivation at any point in time in the future if the ‘powers that be’ determine to do that.” That is, you might be able to get one up and running with the right Page Plus dealer, but you might see a sudden stoppage in service. Sigh. Not that this is a surprise.

…with a potentially expensive catch. Yesterday PhoneNews.com reported that indeed you could activate a Verizon Wireless iPhone on Page Plus. This is nice, since the price point on the iPhone 4 recently came down. Today, however, they’re reporting a catch: any iPhone activated on an MVNO, such as Page Plus, must have first been activated on a postpaid Verizon account. How does that change things? It means you must do one of two things. First, you can buy it unsubsidized and then pay for a month of Verizon service before you take it to Page Plus. That’ll cost you $70 plus tax, and that does not include a text messaging plan. Second, you can buy it subsidized, pay for a month, and then pay a hefty early termination fee. Either way, while activating an iPhone on Page Plus is possible, it will not be cheap.

Page Plus to add $55 unlimited plan with more data

Joe — Wed, 05 Oct 2011 14:40:01 +0000

On October 25th Page Plus will add another Unlimited Talk n Text plan that includes more data, according to dealers who leaked the information on Howard Forums. In addition to unlimited minutes and text messages, the plan, dubbed The 55, will also include 300MB of data. Page Plus currently has an Unlimited Talk n Text plan that costs $45 and includes 20MB of data. That works out to 3.58 cents per megabyte, while normal overages cost 10 cents per megabyte. Again, the plan will be available starting October 25th.

Page Plus lowers text messaging and data rates

Joe — Thu, 28 Jul 2011 12:30:15 +0000

There’s no press release to go along with this item, which is odd. You’d expect a company would want to publicize their rate reductions. Page Plus has dropped the rate on its text messaging and data rates with the standard plan. Text messages, which used to be 8 cents each, are now just 5 cents. Data, which used to be 1.2 cents per kilobyte ($1.20 per megabyte), is now 0.9 cents per kilobyte (99 cents per megabyte). If you’re already on Page Plus, you’ll notice these changes already. If you’re not, you can sign up for a plan at Page Plus’s website.

Page Plus improves Talk N Text 1200 plan

Joe — Fri, 18 Feb 2011 13:30:38 +0000

Good news for Page Plus users on the Talk N Text 1200 plan. The company recently announced some improvements to the plan that will provide customers with more messages and data. For the same $29.95 per month you get 1,200 minutes, 2,000 messages, and 100MB of data, up from 1,200 messages and 50MB of data with the old plan. The overage charges have also been reduced to 10 cents per minute and 15 cents per MB, down from 12 cents per minute and 60 cents per MB. You can sign up for the Talk N Text 1200 plan at Page Plus’s website.

Page Plus adds yearly plan option

Joe — Fri, 10 Dec 2010 13:30:08 +0000

One huge complaint among prepaid wireless users is that minutes are good for only so long before they expire. Most people feel that if they pay for the minutes it shouldn’t matter if they use them next week or next decade. They’re paid for, therefore they should be dispensed at the user’s disposal. But in reality the longest expiration period is a year. Page Plus has added a new plan that might make some people happy. The minutes don’t expire for a year.

For $80 customers can get 2,000 minutes that are good for a full year. This new plan should work for a number of different users. The first that comes to mind are emergency only users. It’s very tough to come in at $80 for a year, but this new Page Plus plan takes care of that. The 2,000 minutes are basically just a bonus.

Heavy talkers can benefit, too, because the rate is just 4 cents per minute. In other words, it might not matter that the minutes expire in a full year. Many Page Plus customers will go through those minutes in half the time, just because it provides the best rate among Page Plus’s refill cards.

The new rate card is available now. You can get it at retail locations or at Page Plus’s website, though I don’t see the card available there quite yet.

Ohio Attorney General settles with Page Plus

Joe — Mon, 15 Nov 2010 13:30:15 +0000

If you’ll remember back to earlier this year, Page Plus was having a bit of trouble with its Unlimited Talk N Text plan. Some customers were using more than what the company considered an acceptable amount, and either had their accounts terminated or downgraded to a limited plan. I’m not sure how widespread the problem was, but a number of those affected made the issue well known. This morning I caught a story in a local Ohio paper that mentioned a settlement in the matter.

Apparently a number of Ohio residents filed complaints with the Attorney General’s Office. The investigation found that:

Page Plus customer service representatives did not give consumers further details on how they had abused the plan and that many Page Plus advertisements failed to clearly disclose terms and conditions of the plan. When consumers were transferred to the standard pay-per-minute plan, their balances were transferred but they were not given refunds.

The result is a $200 settlement for eligible Page Plus customers. The article doesn’t identify the specific qualifications for eligibility, but those who think they were wronged should contact the Ohio Attorney General’s Office by December 2, 2010. Customers who already filed a complaint need not do so again.
