RatesPage Plus Prepaid Cellular airtime rates are both reasonable and relatively simple.Standard Rate PlanThe Page Plus Cellular standard rate plan is a pure pay-as-you-go plan. You can buy airtime refills $10, $25, $50 and $80 increments. You are charged varying rate in network, and higher rates when roaming. There is also a 50 cent per month usage fee that is charged on the 25th day of the month. Taking all that into account lets see what you actually get with Page Plus airtime:Page Plus Airtime Refills
Text and Picture MessagesStandard text messages cost 8 cents each domestically.International text messages cost 20 cents each to send and receive, which is actually pretty good - both in that it doesn't cost that much and that you can actually send international text messages, which isn't the case with all prepaid cell phone plans. Picture messages cost 25 cents each plus a Data Rate of $1.20 per MB. Unless you're taking higher resolution pics with a Razr, cell phone pic file sizes tend to be pretty small so it shouldn't cost you too much. Still, it's cheaper to download them to your computer and then email them. RoamingRoaming is somewhat expensive at 59 cents per minute. You don't want to spend too much time on the phone at this rate.International CallsYou can make international calls from your Page Plus Prepaid Cellular phone. Calls to Mexico, Canada and Guam cost 34 cents per minute with a slightly higher rate to cellphones in Mexico.As you can see, you get pretty good rates for your Page Plus Prepaid Cellular phone on the standard plan, but what about their other plans? Night and Weekend PlanThe Night and Weekend Page Plus Prepaid Cellular plan is costs 99 cents per day, so about $30 per month. For this fee you can make "free" night and weekend voice calls to domestic customers within Page Plus Cellular's network. Daytime calls are charged at basically the same rate as the standard plan with the exception that calls to other Page Plus customers costs just 5 cents per minute.Airtime RefillsAirtim refills cost the same as with the standard plan. Just remember that you get 99 cents deducted every day. You should buy either a $50 or $80 card to make use of the bonus minutes and reduce your hassle.Text MessagesStandard text messages are a little cheaper at 15 cents but international text messages are actually more expensive at 35 cents each.Roaming, picture messages, international calls, data rate, etc., are the same as with the standard plan. Note that roaming calls made during nights and weekends are NOT covered under the plan. Unlimited PlanIf you're willing to pay a daily fee of $2.49 instead of 99 cents, you can upgrade to their unlimited 24/7 voice plan. This works out to about $75 per month which is comparable to other unlimited no-contract plans. So you'll have to buy an $80 refill card about once a month.You are still charged extra for text and picture messages as well as roaming and international calls. These extra charges may not make as good a deal as comparable unlimited plans. Rate Plans SummaryThe Standard Page Plus prepaid cellular plan is actually pretty good for low and moderate usage callers. And definitely worth checking out, so let's look at thePhonesPage Plus Prepaid Cellular phones range from a basic refurished LG flip phone, the VX3300, for $29.95 up to a Motorola W385 for $79.95.

You will have to add an airtime balance to both phones separately, however, as Page Plus Cellular does not yet allow the sharing of minutes.Buy-One-Get-Two If you buy a Motorola Razr V3c, you get two basic flip phones free. Again the same rules apply.All-in-all a pretty good selection of phones, and they're all available online. ThanksThanks for reading this Page Plus Prepaid Cellular review. I hope you found it useful.

Page Plus Prepaid Cellular has pretty good coverage, a good selection of phones and buy-one-get-one and buy-one-get-two family offers. A 120-day expiration period for its airtime cards is great, too.
