$55 UNLIMITED TALK N TEXT with 300mb of Data launching 10/25
Per howardforums (respected pp dealer)
So many of you have waited, patiently, so long, for this. And you deserve a bit of notice so that you can make decisions about your upcoming plan for next month. And since you will start to hear rumblings of this all across the internet soon, we thought it's best if you heard this directly from us.
Page Plus will be launching their $55 Unlimited Talk n Text Plan on October 25th, 2011. This plan will include 300mb of data!
The old Unlimited Talk n Text Plan, for $44.95, with 20mb of data, will still be available as well, for those who do not need the extra data, but do need Unlimited Minutes & Texts.
THE $55 plan, which will be known as "THE 55", will include 300mb of data. This means that, for only an extra $10.05 per month, or approximately 3.58 cents per megabyte, you can have an EXTRA 280mb of data, giving you 300mb of data with THE 55 PLAN!
got the same email but from a non-respected dealer who sent the email AFTER 8668 posted it here (the feline dealer)... but good to know (if true) but not really anything worthwhile in light of the new tmobile $30/4g plan and simple mobile plans.
It's the best unlimited deal thus far on a byod/Vz mvno. However, as many have pointed out, it has been surpassed by its many competitors. Rumors were in the works for the last FIVE months that this was coming out. If they had moved faster, it wouldn't look so pale. In that five months of dilly dallying, Simple Mobile has revamped all its plans, Att and Verizon both offered unlimited $50 everything (even if feature phone only), Tmobile has been on an aggressive , seemingly non stop prepaid offensive, H20/Att mvnos have upped their data on their $50 plans to 250 megs with no extra charge and in the case of H20, introduced unlimited everything (with the standard hidden mvno cap/throttle of course, natch).
Page Plus should simply have moved quicker, then it wouldn't be like how the iphone 4s announcement was, kind of underwhelming. Just a little.
I am underwhelmed. At this price point you are already close to the cost of Verizon plan that gives you 2GB (admittedly PP has "unlimited" voice minutes but I use under 100 minutes/month, so it is irrelevant to me). The only thing that will cause me to spend more money is prepaid chunk of data (several GB) that will last me a year. I am done with monthly plans. $80 prepaid card lasts me 10-12 months. I would pay additional $60 for 2GB of data (2x Verizon rate) that would last me a year. For now I just rarely use data.
Unless you need a lot of minutes/texts, you are still better off paying overage on the $30/month plan.
I don't think so.
Plan itself (includes 100MB*12=1.2 GB of data): $30x12=$360/year
Data overage: 800MB*$0.10 = $80
Total per year is $440. Plus as I said above - monthly plan doesn't work for me. I may use 2-3MB/month for several months, then go on vacation and use several hundred MB.

They spend more time firing, hiring and training employees than anything else. Why do you think everything at ppc moves at the speed of molasses? Turn over, in Every department is damn near 100%. They hire cheap help, at one point almost entirely from the inner city, then have to fire them for theft or overall incompetence. Long term planning is nonexistent. The brand new call center they built to hold 500+ people had restroom facilities for about 6 (this is NOT an exaggeration).
Here's a recent email sent to every employee:
"Please refrain from emptying your trash in the parking lot. I will not ask those who are responsible for this if you live this way at home because I'm afraid of the answer I might get. Take your trash home, throw it away in here, or leave it in your car.
Show a little respect for the company that employs you. "
