I purchased the 7GB plan on sale right now for $210. I didn't even think to look if their XL plan was on sale! Wow I have some thinking to do.... 20GB or 7GB? Only $7.50/month difference.....

Edit: XL plan doesn't have CDMA (Verizon) so that's a deal breaker for me

If you run out of LTE data before the cycle ends do you just switch to a slower speed if you don't buy more data or is it completely shut off?

How many days you need to activate their service after purchasing the sim card? I want to purchase but hold the activation for several weeks. Thanks.

Does anyone know how you switch from a postpaid family plan to a couple of these and still keep your number?

It used to be 90 days. If you are not in a hurry, I would suggest waiting for their Black Friday deal. You may be able to get it $20-$30 cheaper than this price.

Last Thanksgiving I got their 15 GB Plan for $264 (Redpocked upgraded the 15GB plan with 20GB few months back)

Quote from konoplya :

if it's 24 a month why is it 299? is that pre paying for the whole year or what?

I'll do the math for you: 25 x 12 = 300 (or in this case $24.99 x 12 mo = 299.99)

20GB LTE Data (unlimited reduced speed data)

That part in parentheses means you're not cut off.

I'm on the 20GB GSMA plan... it expires on 11/17 so I can buy this now and apply it in November, but I can't really wait for a Black Friday sale the following week UNLESS I'm willing to buy a one-month code to extend my service into December to see if there's going to be a sale or not.

Thing is... the least expensive 1 month plan that has at least 5GB of data is $30. So unless I *know* there's going to be a Black Friday sale and I *know* that the price will be discounted at least $30 less than the current $300 sale price, it's not really in my best interest to roll the dice and wait.

The price is terrific, but the timing is hitting me right in a "hole" in my plan and I'm having a difficult time justifying NOT just pulling the trigger on this right now. What am I missing?

Do you really need to save a little more money enough to gamble with your service/number? I think that's the question you should be asking yourself.

Personally, I ported to Google Voice many years ago so I could have flexibility - if I had that week or two and wanted to roll the dice, I could just use my GV number via WiFi. The actual phone number doesn't matter, so I could get different service if my gamble didn't pay off and just tell the GV app to use the phone's new number to forward calls to.
