[Electronics-talk] accessible phone for verizon

Tue Nov 19 20:10:35 UTC 2013

Hi,

Page Plus Wireless is a company owned  by Verizon that has pay as you go and a set monthly price if you want a package deal.  Since they are owned by Verizon, you can take your current Verizon phone with you and port your number.  We had the service for about a year and had no trouble.  I don't know the number, but you can google page plus and you can link to the site that way.

Their call center is in Ohio, and the customer service is great.

Do you know if Verizon offers a pay as you go or prepaid plans or do you have to have a contract?  mjseiler
