How does that work? Can I buy a PP phone as a trial and then transfer my VZW

Not sure that's a good idea. OTOH, I don't know anyone else on VZW. The kid

Am I correct that I could buy a PP phone then buy a $10 card and it would

Any CDMA capable phone that will dial #737 will work on pageplus except
they now blocked out all Verizon prepaid phones because people bought
phones from Walmart for $20 and put them on PP, instead of activating
them on Verizon to be fleeced. So, VZW stopped it. Your Verizon phones
all work on PP, now.
To activate with credit card, just go to:
http://nordicgroup.us/prepaid/pageplus.html
and read the slightly outdated, but still valid, information on this
webpage not connected to pageplus. He also explains how to maximize the
discount effects of Callingmart.com PINs...the numbers we enter to add
money to our PP account from discount vendors.
Pageplus's webpage is:
http://www.pagepluscellular.com/
and you can activate the Verizon phone you're using now, even smartphones
recently, on PP right from there. The self-activation instructions are
on the webpages. Basically, you'll just fill out the PP forms including
the ESN (MEID) from under your phone's battery into the PP forms and add
money to the account FIRST, of course. Nobody ever owes PP money, which
keeps rates really low. Then, when you activate, PP's server calls the
MEID right over Verizon's network and autoactivates the phone on PP. PP
does NOT overwrite the phone's normal firmware, so if you have a hobbled
up VZW phone, it's still a hobbled-up VZW phone and if you activate an
unhobbled Alltel phone, it's still an unhobbled Alltel phone even with
Celltop that still works at no charge! Mine does...(c;]
You'll get a PP new number. When you get that working, call #737 from it
and ask the nice ladies to port your number over from Verizon. She'll
port it in a few minutes and when someone calls you they won't be any
wiser....it's the same call on the same Verizon system as it used to be
at a fraction of the cost...a no-brainer.
All the "freebies" like nights/weekends, inside Verizon free calls you
were paying $70/mon for, even if you didn't use it, are gone. Every call
on PP costs you the massive sum of 3.7c/min, a little over $2/hour, ONLY
IF YOU USE IT, never giving back minutes every month like now. Every
time you make a call, PP's female voice computer comes on to tell you
your balance before connecting the call, so you don't run out of prepaid.
They never hound you to buy anything...shocking, just shocking! When
your balance gets low, go to callingmart.com and buy a discount $80 card
for $72. Callingmart will open you an account the first time you buy so
you can buy almost too easily from then on. Callingmart will sell you
nothing but a PIN that's larger than the population number for the
planet. WRITE IT DOWN for safety, though I've never had a problem. You
don't have to enter it into your PP phone for up to a year from the
purchase date. We buy Callingmart PINs when they send us big discount
codes in our emails, then just leave them sit in our accounts until our
PP balance gets low. As PP's new year-from-now clock times down from
when you put the PIN into your phone, this lets us maximize the time
before we have to buy more PINs to the limit....unless you use it up, of
course. The only "load" on your balance is the princely sum of 50
cents/month user "fee", the only fee PP charges unless you buy some data
from them. If you use just the phone, not text messages or other data,
$72 goes a LONG way. My phone bill is now $72/year and my balance keeps
getting bigger as I don't use my phone much....the finest deal for low-
use phone service.

Hmm...Verizon used to lie to me and change my charges any old time they
liked when I was a customer. Things must have changed......NOT!

Maybe it would be a good idea to NOT port your old politician-listed VZW
phone number and just use your new PP phone number you get upon signup.
Just send out a massive email to all your callers letting ONLY the ones
you WANT to call you have the new number....leaving the politicians,
spammers, sellers and undesirables that have your old number in the dark.
Your PP number will be from the local area, not Peoria, IL. It's a local
call from any phone in my city to my PP phone.
Navy buddy of mine talked about Tracphone at breakfast this morning. He
was on the phone 2 hours with their Indian service contractor with no joy
trying to get his Tracfone running for a little trip. How awful.

Yes. If you buy any card less than the $80 card, you must buy
"something", a minimum PIN of $10, every 120 days (not 4 months, 120
days). It's a little less than 365 days....5 days short. That makes the
month renew date move a little so be careful.
If you buy the $80 PIN from a dealer, as it's not avail from PP directly,
say from callingmart.com at discount around $72. The 120 days limit is
waived, recently, to a full year. This gives you 2000 minutes, much more
calling time, than the $10/100 minute card gives you, which is a much
better deal. The bigger PIN your buy, the lower the per minute rate of
the calls. The $80 card, at a 7% discount from callingmart.com, comes to
3.7c/min or a tiny bit over $2/HOUR of talk time. Noone beats this price
and certainly noone beats it being on the Verizon nationwide system.
Your only recurring charge each month is 50 cents...that's it! No taxes,
no "admin fees" or "FCC charges" or other nonsense noone at VZW can
explain without lies. 50 cents/month + 3.7c/min....from the $80 PIN you
paid $72 and change for at callingmart.com, gives you Verizon Wireless
phone service, with full voicemail and nationwide calling for 12 months!
At the end of that 12 months, simply buy another $80 card for the
discount at that time for another year of service.....WITHOUT losing
whatever balance you didn't use from the last year's account balance! If
you continue to renew PP before the clock times out...they NEVER steal
your money/time from you!
If you find a better deal, I'd sure appreciate your posting it here for
the rest of us to switch to. I've never found a better deal and it works
great across America, not restricted to just service near your
home....nationwide! You can call from almost everywhere to everywhere so
cheap!

No. Three 120 day $10 cards would be $30, not $40, for a year. And it's
a bit less than $30 if you buy your refills when Callingmart has them on
sale for 7% or 10% off.
As a back-up, you can sign up for automatic monthly refills starting at
your expiration date, but you can cancel them if you don't need them.

T-Mobile's pay-as-you-go plan lets you buy time in $10, $30, $50 and $100
chunks. The time on the three cheaper plans is good for 90 days (although
unused minutes carry over if you re-up in time), but once you've spent $100
(any combination, over any period), your time becomes good for a year.
Once you've hit the $100 mark, any additional time you buy, even the $10
chunk, extends your time limit out a year from when you buy them.
For a low-volume user like me, I made the initial $100 investment, got 1000
minutes, and now can carry the account (along with all my unused minutes)
for $10/year.
T-Mobile's coverage isn't the best, but if you're in their coverage area,
you might want to look at them.
They also have a no-contract $30/month plan that gives you 1500
minutes/month (that don't carry over).

PagePlus is OK. I have it on one of my phones and I will pit it
on another phone when my Spritn contract runs out. On my phone,
I just put $25.00 on it when the minuts are running low. It
takes me anywhere from 6 weeks to 120 days to use up the minuts.
Pretty cheap phone service any way you look at it.
I have to warn you that customer service is next to non-existint.
If you are comfortable dealing with them over the web, they are
OK. But getting a live body is impossible.

Is the service reliable? We have no problem whatsoever with Verizon
except the bill. We split the smallest plan Verizon has for $70 a
month (60+10) plus fees and taxes, which is around $90 total and no
landline, so our cell phones are all we have.

In theory, it should be the same as Verizon's normal service since it's

We may at least keep them off the streets where they can predate at

Yes, but do you see the power of the metaphor? Too much whipping may
send the beast over the edge, and none at all may mean his bad

The beast may be stupid, but this is primitive instinct to choose the

Yes it is, but it's the only way. Riding on sidewalk is often more
dangerous. Either that or you stay in the cage.
The lion must be alert to this situation so we can all enjoy peace in
the jungle he has created. My proposal is to GIVE THE LANE to the bike
and the cars simply go around him briefly.

It's good for the environment too!

I thought it SOP that a dentist sees you every 6 months. A dentist I saw
doesn't call and now acts like they aren't all that interested in caring
for my teeth. Nothing blatant but I'm having my doubts. I wonder if they
just don't like my politics. Or I'm too fussy. I dunno.
are they T-party dentists? Dentists do seem to lean conservative even
flashing the "fish". Is there a way to test the waters?
I'll have to go "fish" for a new one. Again!

"Doesn't call????" What are you, dating?
You're supposed to call the dentist, not the other way around.
Actually, I schedule my next appointment while I'm there.
Doesn't call indeed.

Yes, there is a sign. which I pointed out did not prohibit my machine.
They said it was a bike and that's that. It's the old "color of law"
If they are blue, they can make up "rules" on the fly. I guess.
Someone pointed out that my "crime" was challenging their authority.
Oh, my gosh, can you fight city hall?

Yeah, join the Trikke Federation... ;)
I own one because it allows me to capitalize on the little space I've
got. Actually I never went past the first lesson, but now it's getting
time to unleash it.
I'm member one of the Federation.

I can see where the Trikke could be of great danger to sloths,
homeless and other slow species that populate our parks.
Please tell the city hall.

It can't hurt.
FTC not withstanding, opts-out are only good with "legit" sources. If
the email is genuinely from a retailer you've done business with, it's
probably safe to opt-out. For more info on this, see:

I guess he wouldn't be the same pitiful character, but he would make
more sense...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFFTCIbhF70
He would have overwhelmed the bad guys, given the evil townspeople
some courage and taught Mary Magdalene some manners. I was revisiting
this movie the other day, and Clint Eastwood really touched all the
right buttons. The preacher comes out more hypocrite than the rest,
and the town is renamed "Hell."
Hey way to go, Jesus, I mean Clint. We all know a real Jesus would
have been the fastest man in Jerusalem and never allow evil to rule
one more time. Pity no guns were around back then.
