Page Plus has confirmed to its dealer network that it is now allowing official and sanctioned activations of the Verizon iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S after years of dealer workaround for activation. This means that Page Plus customers have more options when it comes to 3G-only devices on Page Plus. Before today Page Plus customers could not activate the iPhone 4 or 4S on an official basis, as Page Plus cited restrictions from Verizon Wireless as the reason for the blockade and frequently sent warnings to dealers prohibiting such device activations on the service or risk penalties.
However, the previously mentioned dealer workarounds were just one small part of the puzzle, as the desire for the iPhone on Page Plus outweighed any major threats to dealers, dealers that were all too happy to activate such devices for the majority of customers as long as such activations were kept quiet. Currently, all models of the Verizon iPhone 4 and 4S are clear for activation as long as they have a clean MEID and were not reported lost or stolen. With Page Plus now under the auspices of Tracfone, the Verizon-powered virtual operator is slowly making positive (and many customers/observers would say much needed) changes to its service.
Honestly CDMA 3G is a joke! I was a Page Plus customer for almost two years. When I had it I loved it, but that was before using AT&T LTE. 10G of data, four phones, and my corporate discount, with taxes, $38 per phone.
that comment is a joke
comparing apples to oranges and i doubt you’re paying 38
a lot of people have poor coverage w/att and others
compare 55 ppc plan to verizon and V would be 120+/month prepaid and still only 3g…
If you want 4G data, obviously Page Plus isn’t for you. But then again, iPhone 4/4S isn’t for you either – since they don’t have 4G LTE.
This is a good plan/device choice for those that want an iPhone, want Verizon’s excellent voice coverage, and want causal data over 3G (while primarily using Wi-Fi).
Especially with flat-rate prepaid, you can now use an iPhone with Verizon for voice, and Wi-Fi for data, for as little as $10 every 90 days, or about $3.33/month.
It’s not hard to do – use an offline GPS app (CoPilot, TomTom, etc) in place of Apple/Google Maps. Store music and videos locally or stream over Wi-Fi. Use an offline web site reader app and set it to only sync when Wi-Fi is present.
And, finally, of course, learn how to use the Settings app to toggle on and off mobile data, so you only use it when you need it.
