From: Steve on 26 Feb 2007 00:11 Must be missing something, is there anywhere on the PagePlus site that shows the expiration periods of their prepaid cards? Are they good for 60 days or 90 days or what... -- Those who flee temptation generally leave a forwarding address. ....Lane Olinghouse

Are they good > for 60 days or 90 days or what... It's 120 days. Their web site sucks. Also, the $80 card is apparently no longer available.

Normally a $50 card is 425 minutes, but that site shows 230 minutes. All of their cards offer about 1/2 what they should contain.

The Motorola V325/V325i, would be the optimal current phone for PagePlus, since it's tri-mode. However there are plenty of older phones such as the Motorola V60s, that would also be fine. Look for a tri-mode phone at Target or Wal-Mart. Or just order one of the phones from PagePlus, such as the T720 or T730. I suspect that these are refurbished, not new, but I could be wrong. Also check out craigslist.org for your city and look for a Verizon phone. However be careful, as I once got cheated by buying a phone that was not released by the account holder (the estranged husband of the woman that I bought it from). |
