Talk Away has Unlimited Talk n Text refill for $9.99 and 150MB data add-on for $40

[rgg]

I was just looking at the Talk Away website to see if they still offered refurbished Blackberry phones, which they do. I then looked at their replenish page and this is what I saw:



Here is the link to the page, so you can get a better look. Notice also the new, started yesterday, "Verizon Phones Only - 4000 talk minutes + 500 text messages + 50mb Data 30 day renewal." for $50.

I do not think the 150mb addon is applicable for PagePlus phones. And if they are really selling the $39.95 card for $9.99, well, by all means, snatch those up. I dunno if it's valid or not.

OK, now that I read it more closely, I am confused. Here is what it says when you click on the info for that card. It looks like it is some sort of activation, but it is listed as the UTnT.

"You get Unlimited Talk & Text + 20mb of Data on any Verizon phone.
** 50 minutes talk time are included in this purchase.**
Your future replenishments for the unlimited plan are now done from your phone.
The replenish phone number and instructions will be delivered in your activation email."

It seems like the programmer of the site goofed, because it looks like they selling the activation card. It's a hell of deal if it goes through.

What indication is there on the website or product page that this is even a PagePlus offer?

Has Any1 tried to buy a pin for the 9.99 and put it on their page plus phone?

I'm interested on BES for $15. There is no way in hell they are pulling this off! I think I might try to activate a 8703e I have here. Deal seems way too good to be true. Anybody know if it is for Sprint or Verizon?

the Unlimited Talk & Text + 20mb sounds like the pageplus plan


but what is the sprint plan using? PlatinumTel?

Has to be. They made a dumb decision. Should of just got the hookup through Liberty and offer unlimited data. And they say they can activate ANY Sprint phone. PTel doesn't. They only allow Sprint MVNO phones.

Why go through this dude if you can just go straight to the source?

[shaolinchamp]

could someone call customer service and ask for more info on the card?

I'm almost positive the $9.99 is for an ACTIVATION only..

Right underneath the price it says "Activation Payment". Includes 50 minutes=New Activation. Pretty obvious.

[deathcab]

all the cards are PP that they sell... they are trying to become a new MVNO but have to piggyback off the PP system until they gain a certain amount of customers to become their own MVNO (can't remember the exact number... i want to say it was 5,000 but could be much higher)

The $9.99 thing is for activating a phone, which you can get done free on here.

But the $15 BES is interesting. As a standalone plan.... if anyone does this let us know how it works!

To me, this is even more interesting:

Blackberry Enterprise Server (BES) wireless platform from Research In Motion for business users only. This is a monthly fee, select auto pay or replenish monthly.

**AVAILABLE - Jan 25, 2010**

Note: personal use Blackberry device customers can contact support@Talkaway.net for instructions on connecting your device to the BIS server.
