There is a good thread at Howard Forum about PagePlus and which phones will work. It's also important to monitor your data usage and control data (turning off/on).

:thumbsup: I don't understand why PP isn't flooded with customers. I guess people think they "need" data all the time, when WiFi is almost everywhere. Glad it is working out for you!

Because the small providers pay to use the large networks, so they are essentially capturing income from a market they can't tap into.

Saved me some typing.
Also be aware of the 2000-minute/expires 1-year/$80 plan only available from PP dealers. They also have text-only add-on packages depending what regular plan you are using.

Is there a reason you're not using the 2000-minute cards? Those are like 4 cents a minute, plus fewer bothers of activations.

Yes good point, but there is a reason. The problem is any card you get is only good for 120 days. So with a larger card, you get a lower $/min, but still the same activation time (which kind of...

Page Plus will let you use just about any Verizon phone. I bought an HTC Droid Incredible for about $85 on eBay, and I pay $30/mo (no taxes or fees) for 1,200 minutes/3,000 texts/100MB of data.
