(no, not spam) $20/month non-contract unlimited talk/text/web android cell plan

[Swanny]

300 mins is nothing....

What service are you on? I'm a huge fan of AT&Ts free mobile to mobile. Seriously cut my actual minute usage to ~100 a month. I'm lucky enough to have been grandfathered into unlimited data. Good cause I shred through 2gbs in about 15 days

My ONLY internet connection is an AT&T MiFi. I get 5GB total data a month, that's it. They have no higher plan. The $10/GB overage charge would be fine if they didn't throttle the hell out of it (WTF is .03MB? It is fucking slow, let me tell you) but I can buy a pre-paid SIM card...that expires in 30 days...for $50.

I am with George, we gotta find a way to stick it to the cell companies. Communications are everything, but damn, quit raping us and we likely won't hate you.

With WiFi calling, free mobile to mobile and texting....I hardly use any minutes at all. $25 sounds like a great deal.

the phone i have for my gf is virgin mobile gophone. it's android. unlimited data (or maybe 2gb, not sure. its more than enough in any regard) and texting and 300 minutes. $30/month. no contract. i think it's a pretty sweet deal.

my phone is verizon (iphone) and i get the same speed as my gfs phone (1mb) on data. unlimited data, but i use about 1gb a month so it's fucking useless. unlimited texting, 300 minutes of talk. if i use half of that talk time in a month it's a lot for me. $100/month. 1 year left on the contract. im thinking of saying fuck it and eating the cancellation charge.

They bumped the price for new customers up to $35/month. I'm on the same plan. What I do to circumvent the low number of minutes, and also because the coverage in my room is shit, is use Google Voice and call over Wifi.

Edit: Also, they just started to slow your speeds down once you hit 2.5gb.

Tell me more......?

Virgin Mobile.

I use Skype app for most calls. Much better sound quality and it works over 3G. I think I've only used up all 300 minutes once and at that point I simply re started the month a few days early.

Yup. Those of us that have the $25/mo can keep that rate indefinitely even if I switch phones. We'll worth it IMHO.

i fucking knew they upped the price on those cards! i bought last week and it was $35 and i could have fucking sworn it was $30. i asked the bitch at bestbuy, but she was all like, "idontknownothingaboutthis." what a twatnozzle.

how do you keep paying $30?

Its $25 not $30 and you just pay your bill online at the original price if you got the phone before they jacked up the price.

I got a message a day or two ago saying that if we switch phones, the plan switches to $35/month :(

I have Virgin Mobile as well, awesome service.

25$ for 300 minutes and unlimited everything, sick android phone and no contract.

They raised their price to 30$/month for that plan a while back (but didn't change existing plans). I've never had any issues with their service, my girl and whole family use them as well.

Actually my girl thought she broke her android phone and they sent her a brand new one, but then her started working again and we got to keep the new phone for free.

New smartphones are any phones launching in May 2012 and thereafter.

To best complete a phone swap, we recommend waiting until your plan month is finished. This will avoid you having to pay for one month of service twice.

The Beyond Talk Plan rates that would apply are as follows:

$35/mo
Web, Data, Messaging, & Email: Unlimited
Anytime Minutes: 300 min.

$45/mo
Web, Data, Messaging, & Email: Unlimited
Anytime Minutes: 1200 min.

$55/mo
Web, Data, Messaging, & Email: Unlimited
Anytime Minutes: Unlimited

I guess they're finally replacing the Optimus V and they want to make more money off of it. I can't imagine $25/mo being very profitable when they're paying rent to Sprint.

I'll probably be sticking with the Optimus V for a while. I'm not thrilled with the battery life when I'm using it intensively but its nice to be able to run Pandora and a few other apps continuously for 13hrs when driving from Seattle to the Bay Area.

Interesting. Hopefully they'll launch some more "high-end" phones. I would be willing to pay a little more to have a little more memory and speed.

My current plan with Verizon gives me 1400 minutes a month and sometimes that isn't even enough. Also have unlimited data, unlimited texting and I have an iPhone, doubt I'll ever not be on a contract plan.

Thanks, OP.

Just put myself on their e-mail list for Beta.

$55/mo gets you unlimited minutes, data and txt, no contract.
