Page Plus Prepaid Wireless Service
Editor Rating
Overview
Page Plus Cellular is a smaller prepaid cell phone provider based in Toledo, Ohio and is a DBA of Online Wireless, Inc..
Page Plus prepaid is one of the few smaller carriers offering extremely low per minute rates and routes calls on the Verizon Wireless network.
Pros: Page Plus is an extremely simple prepaid cell phone service and offers low per minute rates. Additionally, payments are accepted via credit card through PayPal and there is no activation fee to get started with service.
Cons: Phone choices with Page Plus are limited on the main website and lack a lot of the more advanced features that might be expected by some users.
Detailed Provider Information
Plans: Page Plus offers three different types of plans. The first is their standard plan, which is a traditional pay-as-you-go service. The price per minute depends on the refill card used. The 10 dollar card is 12 cents per minute, the 25 dollar card is 9 cents per minute, the 50 dollar card is 8 cents per minute, and the 80 dollar card is 6 cents per minute. Customers using the standard plan can add unlimited nights and weekends for a 99 cent daily fee. The Unlimited Talk n Text plan offers unlimited voice minutes and unlimited text messaging for $39.95 per month. This plan also includes 20MB of data transfer. The Talk n Text 1200 plan includes 1,200 voice minutes, 1,200 text and multimedia messages, plus 50MB of data for $29.95 per month.
Customer Service: Customer service is available by traditional landline phone or by dialing a special number on your cell phone. Customer service is also available via email through their website.
Credit Check: None
Contract: None
Payment Options: Prepaid minute cards for Page Plus are only available online or through local retailers (a list of which is not available on the website). Payments for phone cards purchased are taken via PayPal.
Text and Picture Messaging: Text messages cost 8 cents per message sent or received. Users can buy text messaging bundles as well, $10.95 for 2,000 messages and $19.95 for unlimited messages. These bundles expire at the end of the month and must be renewed for the next month. Picture messaging is offered at 25 cents per message, plus data charges, for the standard plan, and 10 cents per message plus data charges for the Unlimited Talk n Text plan.
Data Plans: Page Plus charges for data by the kilobyte, at $.0006 cents per KB, or 60 cents per megabyte for the Unlimited Talk n Text plan, and $.0012, or $1.20 per megabyte, for the standard plan. This includes multimedia messages (MMS), which they say range between 20 and 200 KB.
Downloadables: No downloadables are available for Page Plus customers at this time.
International Calling: International calling is available but there is a limited list of countries that can be called. If you plan to use international calling, you'll want to check out the current list of countries you can dial to on their site before signing up. Additionally, a listing of International rates is not currently available on their site, so you'll need to call to check the current rates to each destination company.
Roaming Charges: The roaming process with Page Plus is a bit complicated for the unsophisticated user. Roaming requires several dialing steps that differ depending on where your calling from. These roaming calls are billed at 59 cents per minute.
Calling Features: Voicemail, caller ID, and call waiting are included with Page Plus Wireless service at no additional charge.
Activation Fee: There is no activation fee to start up with the Page Plus Cellular service.
Nationwide Long Distance: Nationwide long distance calling is available and calls are charged the same as regular calls.
411 Calls: Directory assistance is available from Page Plus prepaid at a cost of $1.25 to connect to the 411 service in addition to your normal per minute rate.
Earliest Minute Expiration: Minutes expire 120 days from the time you add them to your account.
911 Calls: Yes, where available (no listing of where it is available is provided).
Phones: Page Plus offers a limited number of phones, most of which are on the lower end, since the company does not offer advanced services. Page Plus also offers the activation of your current phone on their network, as long as that phone is compatible. See your local retailer for phone compatibility. The Samsung A670 and the LG VX6100 are both camera phones.

i have been trying to contact page plus to change my voicemail password for the past few months and every time I call I get told that all their operators are busy. How can all the operators be busy at 8:55am when they do not open until 9:00am. I get alot of voicemail and not once have I been able to access this account since I got this phone and started using page plau. If someone from page plus reads this message they should contact me so that I can change my voicemail password in order for me to get my voicemail and text messages. My number is 814-460-0193.

Had Verizon for many years. Switched to PP monthly $39.95. Wow cheaper. Works wherever Verizon works. Customer service and billing system are horrible. The reps I talked to were always friendly and helpful, but very very hard to get through to. You have to keep re-dialing until you get through and then have to wait forever. Refill on the net, and your account doesn't get credited! Tried Autopay which is supposed to credit automatically and got double charged. I don't know about web usage as I only use my phone for talk and text. If it wasn't for the difficulty in getting through to customer service and a half-baked web site, it would be a 5 star service for my needs.

Great prices, but no customer service, and too many tech issues. Incoming calls drop after 30-35 seconds fairly consistently. I am sick of having to call people back and explain the issue. Long hold times to call customer service, and sometimes you cannot even open a ticket through their website cause that is also flaky. Time to move on.

great prices and network but sevice sucks and so does customer service. They say that they can use any phone on any network. Well i have a verizon audiovox xv6700. i got the unlimited plan with the 20 mb of data. everything was great for the first 2 weeks. well the last 1 weeks have sucked. i keep getting a computer interupting my calls telling me "your service does not allow you to complete this call. message DU3.". I have tried writing them and seeing whats going on they tell me to try to reprogram my phone and if that don't work call customer service it might be a more serious problem. well icall customer service and get hung up on once after waiting 20 minutes. call back and waited another 20 only to have someone who didn't know what she was doing. so she "transfrered" me to her manager just to get hung up on again. this company sucks. might be cheap but their customer service and lack of phone tech is a big MINUS.

I was happy with the service until they cut off my phone. It had $53 worth of minutes still unused that had "expired" and were "confiscated" per customer service. Apparently, after 120 days your minutes expire. How wonderful my money gets to fall down another greedy corporate hole. The manager on the phone offered me half the minutes back for 10 more dollars! I was speechless. What a rip off!! Really angry!!

So far so good. Have been with Verizon for 10 years and my only complaint is the cost. I used to use my phone on nights and weekends for long distance, but now get that service on home phone and I like it better.It is much less costly than it used to be as they have to compete with cell services. Cellular is now just for emergencies and occaisional calls when out of the house. My husband didn't carry his phone ($20/mo for a second line) most of the time. I sent an email question to Page Plus last month and got an answer within 24 hours. Decided to change and called customer service. It's true I waited 20 min., but I had phone on speaker and was doing other things. I ported both phones to them. The agent was understandable and patient. The portage occured without incident. This morning I called and waited 6 minutes to speak with someone to activate and buy minutes for the phones. Again, a very pleasant and agent who I could understand and was patient with me. Both phones are working. We live in the mountains and have great coverage. So far, so good. Instead of paying $70/mo. + taxes, etc., we'll be paying $100-200 per year. What a savings! This is a perfect plan for those who use their phones infrequently. I had tried to get a Verizon plan that would save me money. When they found out I was over 65, they told me about a plan that is NOT in their brochure, but it didn't compare either. I had the Verizon rep check Page Plus on the store internet and he was speechless. So, we'll give it a try. So far no problems with set up and coverage. If things change, we can always switch.

What happened to your phone service? I can no longer receive voice messages. Callers hear a Verizon Error message each time that instructs them to redial. But, when they do they get the same error message over and over. I have tried to call your customer service number and no one ever answers. What is going on with your service; no one seems to have any contact with you any more. Not even at the phone stores .... they don't know why you have abandoned everyone. Are you going out of business or do you just don't care about your customer base any more?
