Effective immediately PPC lowers texting rates from 8 cents in and out to 5 cents. Applies to standard plan only.

When did this happen? Where did you hear this from?

You must be on the list too.

Yay! Since I primarily got this phone to text with, this is great news for me!

So these were the "plan" changes we've been waiting for?
Phone Expert
Color me underwhelmed. I'm on standard plan and appreciate a lower texting rate, but that data rate is still beyond ridiculous. I'll never turn data on at that rate - if they lowered it significantly I'd actually use quite a bit and they'd make more money off of me.

i need it be lower still! LoL. Make it comparable to PlatiumTel's go-rates: $0.05 per minute to talk/ $0.02 per text/ $0.10 per MB and PagePlus will be the dominant Verizon's MVNO prepaid!!

Want, want, want...
They already are the dominant verizon mvno.

Its a step in the right direction but I don't expect this is going to lure in customers who wouldn't have already come over to pageplus with the previous rates on these respective services.
.75˘/Mb would have been more appropriate if they wanted to really compete on data without undercutting the card plan rates.
At 99˘/Mb I doubt you're going to see many people change their usage significantly
Personally if I were in their position I would have snuck this in UTR when they released their new plans rather than have it be a stand alone change.

The only thing Sprint or its MVNOs have to offer is price. To call their coverage "spotty" is to give them a compliment. Sprint is not the provider you want if you travel around the country and want to communicate.
BTW 4 cents is less than 5 cents.

I welcome any reduction in price. My main line is with pageplus, but I do maintain another line on Platinumtel just for data. Carrying two phones is not really fashionable, but something I can live with. It will be more convenient if ppc data rate on standard plan is close to 1200 tnt plan (15 c per MB), but I would consider that luxury, not a necessity.
Anyway, ppc does need to make profit to stay alive, so ppc can continue to offer $80/1year plan, which I love... No complaints from me..

With this change, standard plan allows for 219 text messages sent/received before making the Power Text 2000 plan viable.

This is not really the major plan changes we are looking for, it is just the first stage in a line of changes that are going to be made.
