Switching monthly plans

[Fishx65]

Can you switch between monthly plans without any problems? I purchase my PINS from callingmart and would like to switch between the Unlimited T&T, 1200 and 55 once in a while. For example, I would like to use the 55 plan during the 3 months I'm at my cabin because I don't have WIFI there. Is it as simple as purchasing whichever monthly plan I need each month?

Well, purchasing the desired plan PIN type, and then applying it. Shouldn't be a problem. Some may advocate getting in touch with PPC directly, either via voice or the Live Chat available on the web site, to make the switch or apply the new plan PIN. I'm not a monthly user, so I don't know the intricacies of the process, but it should be doable. Once you're on a monthly plan, you stay on that plan until a different type monthly plan PIN is applied. Your regular account balance would be debited for the next month if it has an adequate balance.

Yes, except that a higher plan PIN will always go into effect immediately after it is added, so timing is important.

If you load a lower plan PIN, it will stack and go into effect as soon as the higher plan expires.

Maybe you have read this already......Switching Plans


From the above link:

Switching From One Page Plus Cellular Plan to Another

It is important for you to understand the process of switching from one Page Plus plan to another, because the process does not happen the same exact way from one particular plan to another. An upgrade to a “higher” plan takes effect immediately, whereas a switch to a “lower” plan will take place on the renewal date of the current plan. This “hierarchy” method of switching plans will be consistent across all current and future monthly plans.

Switching to a Higher Plan

To switch to a higher plan, you must first load the PIN of the higher plan to your account. When switching to a higher plan, the change will take effect immediately. For example, if you are switching from The 12 plan to The 55, you must first load the The 55 PIN to your account. Upon submittal, your account will immediately upgrade to the The 55 plan. To get the most value out of your current plan, it is suggested to wait until the renewal date of your current plan before upgrading.

Switching to a Lower Plan

To switch to a lower plan, you must first load the PIN of the lower plan to your account. When switching to a lower plan, the loaded PIN will stack on the account until the renewal date of the current plan, at which time the plan will switch. For example, if you are switching from The 55 plan to Talk n Text 1200, you must first load the Talk n Text 1200 PIN to your account. Upon submittal, the Talk n Text 1200 PIN will stack on your account until the renewal date of The 55 plan, at which time your account will switch to the Talk n Text 1200.

Switching to the Standard Plan

To switch from a monthly plan to the Standard plan, you must request it through Customer Service. Loading a Standard plan card/PIN does not automatically switch the account from a monthly plan to the Standard plan.

Monthly plans can renew by loading a monthly bundle PIN or by adding a cash balance on your account. So, if a Standard PIN loaded onto an account provides enough cash balance for the current (unexpired) monthly plan to renew, the monthly plan will renew normally.
