Talk n Text 1200 Monthly Plan 1,200 Minutes + 1,200 SMS Text Messages + 50 MB Data
At $29.95 a month, this is the most cost-effective plan for most people with average usage of voice calling, text and data usage. The Talk n Text 1200 plan includes 1,200 domestic voice minutes, 1,200 domestic text messages (SMS), and 50 megabytes (MB) of data more of each than the average person uses in a month. It is an especially good plan for people who are paying more per month for unlimited plans yet are not using as many minutes/messages/MB of data as this plan provides.
New Rates Once Activated
The Talk n Text 1200 plan is $29.95 per month for 1,200 domestic voice minutes, 1,200 domestic text, and 50 Megabytes of data transfer. Once you activate this plan, it will be renewed automatically every 30 days. Your mobile phone account will be debited $29.95 each month, so you must have this amount available in your account for automatic renewal. The term "automatic renewal" does NOT mean we are going to bill your credit card - it just means that we will renew your Talk n Text 1200 plan if you have put (i.e. "prepaid") the money into your account. It is up to YOU to put money (in the form of a "PIN") into your account every 30 days! To put money in your account, go to our PIN refill page and purchase a Talk n Text 1200 PIN for $29.95 . Then to load your PIN, follow the instructions found on our PIN loading information page.
You can use Page Plus standard replenishment cards to renew this plan. You can also use a Talk n Text 1200 card for renewal; however, loading an additional $29.95 card during the 30-day plan period will only add $29.95 credit to your account (to be used in the future, NOT in the current month) it will NEVER stack or increase the minutes/messages/data for the current month. Subscription cards can be pre-loaded, but NEVER load more than 120 days in advance because all Page Plus cards automatically expire 120 days after they are loaded. Also keep in mind that any overage/service feature charges that you incur will deplete any extra PIN balance that you pre-load. So, if you go over on your voice minutes, text, data usage (50 mb limit per month), or use any other service feature that triggers a charge (see chart below), your remaining balance will be reduced by those overages and service feature charges (and of course, the feature will work). If, on the other hand, you have a $0 remaining balance, and you try to send a picture message (.10’ plus "data transport"), the message just won't be sent.
Standard rates will apply for roaming, international voice, international text, premium SMS Multimedia Messaging (MMS), picture messaging, etc (see below chart). If you go over the plan limit, you will be charged overage charges at the rate of $0.12 per voice minute, $0.15 per text message (sent or received) and $0.60 per MB of data.
To Activate the Talk n Text 1200 Monthly Plan
All customers (including current Unlimited Talk n Text customers) wanting to move to Talk n Text 1200 will need to add an initial Talk n Text 1200 card in order to subscribe to the new plan. Once subscribed, customers can use regular cards or Talk n Text 1200 cards to make sure that the necessary balance is available to renew the plan.
Account Life Cycle
If you do not purchase and add airtime prior to your end of service date, which is 120 days from your last replenishment, your Page Plus Cellular service will be deactivated. You will lose your balance and, after an additional 30 days, you will lose your Page Plus Cellular phone number.

*Data Transport is used to transmit and receive data for picture messaging (MMS), mobile web (WAP), app downloads (BREW), e-mail and all other standard applications that require data not listed here. This rate applies if you exceed the 50 Megabytes included in the plan or if the plan did not renew (e.g., because of insufficient available funds).
**MMS or Multimedia Messaging is picture messaging, video messaging, audio messaging, etc. Multimedia messages not only incur a "per text" charge (as outlined above), but they also deplete your data allotment because "data transport" is used to transmit and receive them. If you exceed 50 mb of data in your billable 30-day subscription cycle, the plan will use any available balance on your account. If there is no available balance, the service will just not function.
Premium SMS is a suite of services offered by third party "premium rate" service providers. Voting Services, Horoscopes, opinion polls, ringtone providers, etc. are just some examples of the services offered by premium rate service providers.
