I have an unlimited minutes cell plan through Verizon. The only thing I
don't really like about it is the price. I might need to trade down to a
cheaper plan. Anyone have any suggestions?
Unlimited Minutes Cell Phone Plans
Unlimited Minutes Cell Phone Plan - cellular phone plan information. | Comments(26)
Available cell phone plans vary greatly. Unlimited minutes cell phone plans are one of the most popular among users. Most unlimited minutes plans will give users a certain amount of minutes (anytime minutes) that they are allowed to use during peak times. If the user goes over the allotted minutes, they will be charged a set amount, usually between $0.45 and $0.75 per minute for the additional minutes used. Furthermore, unlimited minute plans provide an allotted amount of free minutes for nights and weekends. As the name implies, you can use as many minutes as you want during your unlimited minutes period (nights & weekends). These plans may vary slightly by carrier.
The search for an unlimited minutes cell phone plan is important as the search for the proper cell phone. The best cell phone could perform poorly, or worse than expected, if it is not paired with a quality service provider.
When researching an unlimited minute cell phone plan service provider, there are several things that you should do to narrow your search.
- Determine which service providers are available in your area.
- Make a list of the services you wish to have available for your cell phone (i.e.- voice mail, call waiting, etc).
- Decide what type of plan you want and how much you can afford to spend each month

I've always had good luck with AT&T. They're service (in my area) is pretty
reliable. They have a bunch of different plans to choose from. They also
have the GoPhone - which might be a little lower than you're looking to go.
Worth checking them out.

Forget night & weekends. I want unlimited minutes 24/7. Where can I find
those plans?

I think both Verizon and Sprint have unlimited plans for one flat rate. You
should check them out.

Boost Mobile has had numerous complaints (check them out on
ripoffreport.com). Wouldn't go that route.

METRO PCS IS THE ONLY COMPANY THAT I AM AWARE OF THAT ALLOWS ALL UNLIMITED
24/7 - I HAVE IT AND HAVE REALLY NO COMPLAINTS. MY BILL IS THE SAME EVERY
MONTH, I PAY ONLINE, IF IM A DAY LATE THEY SUSPEND MY SERVICE INSTEAD OF
CHARGING OUT RAGOUS LATE FEES AND TURN IT ON RIGHT AFTER I PAY.

Just wanted to comment on the above ripoffreport complaint reference.
I've used boost unlimited mobile as my business phone for well over 2 years w/o incident. I think sometimes people that report issues w/ companies many are at fault w their understanding of what the product or service is and how it works.
The process is simple as long as you place $$ in your account before your due date their are NO EXTRA CHARGES...
Where would a problem arise? I find there isn't a reason to call customer service ( no billing issues to fight about...pay your bill)
The company is owned by sprint-nextel as such it uses the exact network use by sprint...Once again pay your bill your phone works just fine just like anybody else using the same network

All cell phone carriers have an unlimited plan. It's just that you'll
usually have to pay $99 a month for it.
Feb 10, 2009
I have unlimited min 24/7 along with unlimited test with Sprint. The
coverage in N FL is excellent and service isn't an issue. I bay 80 a month,
every month and got a free $299 phone. I love it.
Feb 22, 2009
That should be unlimited text, with Sprint. Sloppy fingers tonight!

Just found out today T-Mobile has a new Loyalty plan for EXISTING
customers. 50.oo p/m w/UNLIMITED anytime minutes. That does not include
text but adding text msg is very reasonable. I pay 4.99 for 400 texts per
mo. Not sure how much the plan is for new customers..but it's wortb
checking into. T-MOBILE customers...just call 611.

T-Mobile, Sprint, AT&T and Verizon Unlimited plans are about the same
around $99 month, unless you have iPhone or other 3G phones they run about
$30 more. If you want cheap unlimited plans then I suggest you go talk to
your local cell phone company, most of them run $50-$80 month, but if you
travel a lot find out who they contract with, Should be one of the 4 I
listed above. Also if you know you get good service with Boost Mobile,
Sprint Pre-Paid service, then get that one its $50/month and its good
anywhere Sprint has service around the nation. The only bad thing I think
is that they only have 5 phones.

I have had boost mobile for the second straight month and the services are
great.
I have unlimited talking and text my friends on Verizon, sprint and alltel. It cost just $50 bucks/month. I just buy my phone card before the due date.

One thing nobody has mentioned is roaming. T-Mobile is the only plan that
includes free nation wide roaming with Alaska , Puerto Rico and Hawaii.
Most of those other nation wide plans charge you for roaming outside your
region. T-mobile phones will work over seas too. Mostly 1.00 pr min. I just
joined loalty plan for 50.00 pr mo. I could get unlimited high speed web
and text message for 34.00 more pr mo. So I guess that beats them all.
Right now I will stick with my unlimited EDGE web for 6.00 a month and just
E-Mail. Texting is so limited and expensive.

Boost mobile barely gets a signal anywhere in southern illinois even though
their coverage map shows it does. I cant use it in any home or
building.work, home,etc. just sometimes outside, it drops the call in a
minute or 2. Im sure its great for city dwellers though.
Apr 01, 2009
T Mobile sucks folks,if you are in a metro area it is great, if not blah,
and they are only offering this $50 a month for existing customers,
probably with tax included, no one can touch Boost at this time,killer
signal strenth, if not better than AT&T, in outreaching area's, very
practical and has it's perks.

Has anyone used Cricket before? Any experiences, good or bad? T-Mobile has
me on the 99 USD unlimited plan and I am contemplating terminating the
contract early. The fees seem very high.
Apr 28, 2009
Virgin Mobile people. 49.99 unlimited !!! not half as many complaints then
boost but u have to pay an extra 10 if u want unlimited text picture ect.

I am an independent rep of a company who offers unlimited US and Canada
calling for 24.99/month on your cell phone.

I have Cricket and have had boost. In houston these very popular. Cricket
is 35-60 bucks a month the phones expensive and cheap one something goes
wrong quick. You can get any cell without a sim card flashed to cricket I
did. Only problem internet wont work with flashed. Boost not many cells to
pick from but they worked alot better and more coverage than cricket.
May 21, 2009
I have cricket. The price is great but the service is a trocious. I have it
as my business ohone. They somehow changed my number on a sunday and
informed me i had to go to a corporate store to get it fixed on my own.
That was the biggest joke I have ever heard. Those corporate stores are
like cattle drives. There were 25 people at least in line and 1 person
working while 3 others strolled in and took over an hour to actually open
their stations. I am on here to research a new unlimited plan but dont want
to pay the hundred bucks plus fees a month. I left qwest for the same
reason so i saw an andy had an interesting comment. what company do you rep
for?

CAN I USE MY SPRINT CELL NUMBER WITH BOOSTMOBLIE
