Page Plus $29.95 Review

$29.95, or $27 with Auto Refill, buys unlimited talk and text and 3GB, the first Page Plus tier that behaves like a normal phone plan.

The international package is the differentiator. Unlimited international texting and a $10 calling credit are included rather than sold separately, which is unusual at this price.

The Page Plus plan most people should buy. Unlimited talk and text on Verizon's network for $27 on Auto Refill is competitive on its own, and the international calling credit and unlimited international texting make it genuinely good for anyone with family abroad. The 3GB allowance is the constraint. If you regularly pass it, the 2G fallback is unpleasant and the $39.95 tier is the better fit.

Consider instead: Red Pocket Plus. Red Pocket Plus is $20 for 20GB on your choice of three networks, with unlimited calling to 20+ countries: far more data for less money.

What does the Page Plus $29.95 plan include?

Unlimited talk, unlimited national and international texting, 3GB of high-speed data and a $10 international calling credit, over 30 days on Verizon's network. Auto Refill brings it to $27.

What happens after 3GB on Page Plus?

Speeds drop to 2G for the rest of the cycle. Page Plus notes that at 2G speeds some applications such as streaming audio or video may be affected. Add-on data is $5 for 1GB or $10 for 2GB and rolls over while service is active.

Does Page Plus include international calling?

This tier includes a $10 international calling credit and unlimited international texting. A separate $9 Global Calling card can be added to any plan and carries over month to month while your primary service stays active.

What does the $29.95 plan really cost?

About $30–32/mo, or $27 with Auto Refill. Page Plus adds roughly $0.18 for the federal universal service fund and $0.06 in regulatory cost recovery, plus state tax.
