Page Plus $39.95 Review

Eight gigabytes and the same international package as the tier below — the point where Page Plus stops feeling tight and starts feeling expensive.

Pricing: squeezed from both sides

$39.95, or $36 with Auto Refill, for 8GB works out to about $4.99 per gigabyte — well above what Red Pocket ($1.00) or Tracfone ($2.00) charge for comparable allowances.

The pressure is internal too. $55 buys fully unlimited 4G LTE with no 2G cliff, which for a $15 difference is the more coherent purchase if you're already at this level of usage.

What You Get

✓8GB covers moderate use without moving to unlimited
✓Unlimited talk and text plus a $10 international calling credit
✓Verizon coverage with no contract or credit check
✓Add-on data rolls over while service stays active
✓Very small taxes and fees

What You Don't Get

−$4.99 per gigabyte is poor value against Red Pocket or Tracfone
−No hotspot on any Page Plus plan
−2G fallback once the 8GB is gone
−Video streams at DVD quality
−The $55 tier is fully unlimited for $15 more

How Page Plus $39.95 compares

At this price the question is whether to remove the ceiling altogether.

Feature Page Plus $39.95 Page Plus $55
Price $39.95/mo $55/mo
Auto Refill $36 $50
Data 8GB then 2G Fully unlimited LTE
Talk & text Unlimited Unlimited
International credit $10 $10
Hotspot None None

Who should choose Page Plus $39.95

✓You use 5–8GB a month and want a hard ceiling
✓You text or call internationally
✓You want Verizon coverage with unusually low taxes and fees
✓You already use Page Plus and want more data without going unlimited

Who should skip it

−You care about cost per gigabyte — Red Pocket and Tracfone are far cheaper
−You'd exceed 8GB; the $55 tier removes the 2G cliff
−You tether
−You want perks or hotspot of any kind

Final Verdict

A reasonable middle tier that's hard to recommend on price. 8GB with unlimited talk, text and international texting is a fine package, but the per-gigabyte rate is uncompetitive and the plan sits awkwardly between a cheaper tier that covers light use and an unlimited tier that removes the ceiling entirely. Buy it only if 8GB is precisely your number.
