Search this Site:
Southernlinc is a niche wireless provider with a 127,000 square foot coverage area that includes Georgia, Alabama, southeast Mississippi and northeast Florida – now that’s niche. In addition to their regular plans they do have a couple of prepaid plans – a 10 cent per minute plan, and a Paygo plan that cost a $1.50 on the days that you use it, plus the per minute rate.
Coverage
As noted above, it’s a local wireless provider. Make sure you are in Southernlinc prepaid coverage area. Unlike some regional but growing providers, they don't seem to be promoting their growth ambitions.
Phones
Their phone (one model) comes as part of their Prepaid Bundle Package. In the package you get a Nokia i290, charger, 64k sim card and $10 worth of airtime. The package costs $49. The terms of service agreement does state limitations on what other phones you can use, so presumably you could try using a phone you purchased separately.
Plans
You can choose between two plans.
10 cent per minute plan
This is the simpler plan. Talking cost 10 cents per minute and text messages cost 10 cents each. You can add to your airtime in three ways: 1) via the phone by dialing #ADD (#233) and entering your credit, debit or prepaid card, 2) online and 3) at a local Western Union office – presumable you give them cash. Minutes do not seem to expire, but your account cannot be inactive for more than 60 days.
PAYGO plan
This plan costs a $1.50 a day on the days that you use the plan, plus 20 cents per daytime minute. Night and weekend minutes are free (not including the $1.50 charge). Text messages still cost 10 cents.
If you're in their coverage area and don't move around much, you might give them a try.Otherwise you can look at a few . . .
