Callingmart still selling unlimited Pageplus for $39 minus 7%

I got an email from Callingmart telling me about their Mother's Day 7%
discount on Pageplus pins this morning. It still lists the
unlimited/unlimited Pageplus monthly plan for $39.95...and gives a 7%
discount if you enter HpyMothers10-7 into the discount code at checkout.

Just thought you monthly customers would like to know.

By the way, never just copy/paste your callingmart URL to usenet as it has
your embedded cookie and account information encrypted into it just before
/products..../ That couldn't be good....(c;] Munging it to the above
still works to point to the plan.

Unlimited Verizon talk and text and 20MB with all the toys except MMS for
$37.17. Not a bad price, at all....(c;]

Maybe it's only Pageplus buying direct that's going up to $45/mo....??

info for newbies at:
http://nordicgroup.us/prepaid/pageplus.html
but the numbers need updating. $80 cards for $74.40 from calling mart get
you 2000 minutes to use over 120 days, that won't be stolen away if you buy
even a $10 card by 120 days to keep your account alive. $74.40/2000 mins =
3.7c/minute + 50 cents/month service fee gets you Verizon Wireless with no
taxes, no queer charges noone can explain and NO FUNNY BUSINESS. NOBODY
beats Pageplus prepaid!

I also found out another "feature" I didn't know about on Pageplus. If you
let the other party hang up the phone call first, then stay on the line,
the Pageplus computer will read you the updated balance on your account
after both outgoing and incoming calls AND YOUR REMAINING DAYS BEFORE THE
ACCOUNT DROPS DEAD! Very nice for checking incoming call costs if you're
logging your balance.... I won't have to buy anything for another 49 days.

Paying Verizon's plans my ass......

Any "normal" CDMA triband phone will work on Pageplus. They are now,
from threats from Verizon I'd think, NOT activating the $20 subsidized
prepaid Verizon phones, like you'd buy new at WalMart. But all the CDMA
candy bars that weren't sold to Verizon Prepaid customers will work. If
you live or travel in the West USA, it's even to your benefit to
activate a dual mode CDMA/AMPS analog phone on Pageplus. There are many
small AMPS carriers in the boondocks of the West, I'm told, that
Pageplus will operate on, if your phone has that capability. In the
East, that's not an issue as CDMA is so widespread on Verizon. But, PP
will actually work in the West where Verizon has no signal on those
small AMPS analog carriers.

There's thousands of candy bar phones labeled VERIZON or ALLTEL on Ebay
or in any thrift shop in a town/city with Verizon/Alltel systems.
Motorola OEM-branded battery packs are available for old phones direct
from China for as little as $1 with a few bucks postage. "old" doesn't
mean dead. Electronics doesn't wear out, just because a new phone comes
along the glitzies like better. I've got at least a dozen spares laying
around I've used over the years. Ask around any companies you know that
uses Verizon or Alltel cellular. They have DRAWERS full of
phones/batteries/cases/chargers piled in boxes noone uses. They'll give
them to you....probably a box full in a rats nest of wires. Thrift
shops here have phones for 99 cents as noone wants "old technology",
which is crazy. Just make sure what you buy has chargers available,
too! Most of them had crazy looking proprietary connectors.

Remember, any older phone, especially one that has a pullup antenna, is
probably HIGHER POWERED than a brand new phone with no external antenna.
Many good old candy bar phones had 200-300 milliwatts to a real antenna,
not 120mw to a strip of tin foil behind the battery....MORE RANGE even
if it eats the battery a little faster. RANGE is always good.

an old friend who owned a paging company told me, standing between five
500 watt paging transmitters: "POWER is our FRIEND!" His pagers would
work sealed in a tin can he sprayed so much power into the air!

Another tip. I just opened the store site I got my router from that's
really a great company:

http://3gstore.com/

They have a deal with Verizon for $49.95! No contracts, no slavery.
It's on the main webpage.

3gstore includes an additional CD with the real manual and extra
software on it with the routers not included from the manufacturer or
the box stores. You also get great support from guys who do 3G for a
living and sell most all brands. That's quite a combination! Ask them
any questions you might also have about the various products.

$10/month is a substantial savings on Verizon's 5GB plan.

They have a Sprint plan PLUS the same Cradlepoint CTR350 I'm using for
$29.95 with a $50 rebate from Sprint (obviously on a 2-year subsidized
plan). You MAKE $20 becoming a slave if Sprint works for you.

The Sprint 3G/4G hotspot is $50 after rebate, too....on Wimax,
eventually.

Great service and lots of great deals.

===============================================================

Whatever candy bar phone you're staring at to buy, tell the seller to
charge it up for a few minutes to have enough power for a short phone
call. Turn the thing on and dial #737, which is PagePlus on ANY CDMA
system. You'll probably get the activation automation asking you for
the serial number. If the phone isn't activatable (is that a word??),
the system will tell you this phone cannot be activated. I tried it on
an old Verizon prepaid phone that had already been on Verizon prepaid
and got the no-go message just because the system read the ESN and got a
Verizon Prepaid ESN. You can also try to feed it its own ESN right
under the battery you wrote down before you called PP. That's actually
how you activate it anyways. If you're going to buy it, anyways, you
can try the activation before you buy it, if it gets to the point where
it wants your credit card number, that's when you make the decision to
buy it. If you're going to buy it, activated it and you can use it on
the way home! It's really quite simple. You don't need a dealer. Just
feed it what it wants when it asks. Don't forget to pay the man for his
phone....(c;]

Ask him if he'll throw any other accessories he may have forgotten about
in on the deal. He can't use them with his new trick phone so will give
them to you if you remind him. I got 3 spare batteries that way...(c;]
