Total Call Mobile introduces prepaid unlimited plan
See that list to your left of our pay as you go cell phone providers? It seems like more and more of them have unlimited plans every day. (You might notice that there are a few more there this week than there were last, if you’re the perceptive type.) The latest to unveil this type of plan is Total Call Mobile. Like a few of the more recently introduced unlimited plans, Total Call’s will feature both a monthly tier and then a lesser offering. This lesser offering might be the difference prepaid makes with unlimited voice and text plans.
The 30-day unlimited plan covers voice calls plus both domestic and international text messaging, and costs $50, right about par with the rest of the industry. Total Call has also added a 15-day plan, which appropriately costs $25. Customers can then add on international calls for only the advertised rate. After you pay your $50 or $20, calls to over 250 locations worldwide will cost just two cents. There are varying rates to other countries as well.
As of this writing, the plans are not feature at Total Call’s website, though you can check back there often, as I’m sure they’ll add it soon.

Total Call has some good things going for it but suffers from complete lack of any data option, a limited handset selection, inability to put related handsets (Sprint and Sprint mvnos) onto their system as well as a relatively high price point for what they are offering. Page Plus offers as superior network, phone flexibility and at least some data options as well as being $10 less a month then Total Call. TC does have free unlimited int’l texting but they are offering a plan that is not really that unique in this competitive unlimited environment. If they were priced at $40 or 45 , they would look a lot better.

Total Call Mobile does offer 2 cents per min. rate to 260 international destinations with the unlimited program.
Also, the plan works with regular refill cards or pins and does not require the customer to call customer service to enroll. When the unlimited plan has expired, the phone goes back to the 10 cents per min./ 5 cents per text message program. Total Call Mobile offering is very flexible and offers either a $25 for 15 days Unlimited Talk & Text or a $50 for 30 days of Unlimited Talk & Text. As Mike has mentioned, this does include international texting.
