Using Ting we pay $8 for up to 2000 texts each month. Between 2000 and 4000 texts it only costs $11. Once you hit 100 texts it costs $5. Probably not worth it, but its feasible. Under 100 texts is only $3, but that's likely not possible as texting is our standard way of communicating when were away from WIFI. The larger jumps in cost come from data usage.
Page Plus has Verizon's coverage and roams on Sprint, there is indeed a per minute charge for roaming, and I imagine it would get expensive fast. AT&T and Verizon will never roam with each other because the technology that runs each network is incompatible with the other.Page Plus has no plans with free roaming. But other Verizon MVNOs do. What was his usage again?
His usage is about 400 minutes / 10,000 texts / 2 GB per month. Other son is out of contract 9/27, so I am open to moving him off Verizon and to whatever network is the best deal, but would need a new phone. Usage is about the same as above. I am stuck with Verizon due to my enterprise data connection with Good so that I can access work emails on my phone.
Unfortunately no Verizon MVNO has a plan that fits his usage AND has roaming. So, if he wants Verizon coverage, its Verizon or bust.Just buy him a Nexus 4 imo, only $299. Or wait until Sept. and the plastic iPhone comes out. Should be in the 300s I think. There are a couple of sub $50 a month plans that would work that include roaming. I just listed them out a few posts back, but Solavei and GoSmart Mobile would be the cheapest 2 and they both use T-Mo's network but roam on AT&T.
You're porting TO or FROM Verizon?You need to talk to whoever the TO is to make it happen.
I assume you are going from Verizon to Ting.. Please confirm.
Yes - to Ting.
Yes, just the line associated with the number.
Get her off Ting and on to something with a data cap. When she hits the cap, she's done kiking for the month
Whats the SIMple Mobile increase, didn't see it yet?

I'll look for the link, but the $40 plan doubled the highspeed data limit to 1GB... which is perfect for my wife's usage.
Welcome to the thread. Bet a football message board is about the last place you'd expect to find this conversation. I'm happy to help, even if you weren't residing in the greatest city on earth (and my birthplace and hometown).
Man, when I first built my database this plan only gave 250 MB. Quadrupled in the past few months! Now it actually is a solid value.
Can you get by with 8GB of non-expandable storage? How much free space is left on a Nexus 4 after the OS and core apps are accounted for?
Sure, lots of people do. The phone comes with 5.67 GB available on the 8 GB modeal and 12.92 GB available on the 16 GB model.
I have the 16GB and haven't had problems. I could get by with 8 GB if I wasn't always taking pics/videos of my kids. I'm not exactly sure how much space the system and core apps take up, but its not that much imo. Maybe 2 GB? Thats a guess.
Hulk -
I almost prefer to be thought of as someone into flag football instead of *magic* football.
Very similarly. No replaceable battery/SD card slot, better specs on everything but the camera. Camera is fine though (S3 has a great camera)
Yeah, I have a 16GB iPhone 4 and can always manage to stay inbounds with that. I can't recall the last time I was under 8GB though.
Pretty much, yep.
Was just about to post the same. Porting to Google Voice saves you a lot of trouble in the future.So, that would be the new step three, and then step 4 you just point your google voice at whatever phone# AirVoice gave you.
In my marathon-browsing today I thought I read that call quality is iffy via Google Voice and that Google doesn't like to give it up if you want to port out... thoughts? Experiences?
You know how to fix this, right? You actually have to change the pic send address in settings from your previous carrier to Ting's. I had to do it on my wife's account.
My thread made the GMTAN?Great customer service from Ting - they let me apply a referral after the fact!. I used ProNinja's, since it was his post in the GMTAN thread that led me over here.
On the phone. You need to reset the url where the phone sends the mms to. There is more info here, but you may need to search for your phone model and perhaps "not sending mms ting" to get your actual instruction. Link here: https://help.ting.com/entries/22918587-MMS-not-working
well, it will really come down to the data usage. If you're not streaming, you could be on Ting for super cheap, about $33 a month, so months cheaper if you talked a little less, or used Google voice instead of texts. But no Nexus 4 on Ting. The Nexus 4 will only work on At&t or T-Mobile and their MVNOs. If you went that route, your phone would cost $249 ( instead of like $600) but your plan would be slightly more. Most T-Mobile plans run in the $40 to $50 range, depending on how much data you want, and most have unlimited calls and texts.Really, you've got to decide what you want. More data or less? A nexus or something else? Once you've got that nailed down I'll find the cheapest option for you.
