[Electronics-talk] Project Ray/Odin Mobile Smartphone

[Shannon Cook]

My husband and I have Page Plus.  We like it very much and do not have a monthly bill.  We got the $80 plan for 2000 minutes that are good for a year. I am at a little past the halfway mark, which works out great, since this year is too. I haven't had any problems with coverage, since it uses the Verizon coverage area.

How about a wireless provider that charges only $10 every four months, or just $30 a year?  Page Plus Cellular, a regional prepaid carrier based inCleveland,  charges $10 for 100 minutes which never expire as long as you add air time within four months, and many semi-accessible LG phones that work with Verizon Wireless will also work with Page Plus, which uses the Verizon network.  So if you just use your cell phone occasionally, Page Plus is probably the best deal around.
