THIS GUY HAD A VERY SIMILAR ECHO TO WHAT I BLOGGED ABOUT THE OTHER WEEK-....FOLKS, WE'RE TALKING NOT HUNDREDS OF #DOLLARS PER YEAR- THOUSANDS! THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS PER YEAR AND A FEW THOUSAND DOLLARS PER CONTRACT TERM! T E N S OF THOUSANDS OVER A DECADE! THAT'S MORE THAN YOU WOULD GET AS A RETURN FROM #INVESTING $50,000 IN GENERAL ELECTRIC FOR THE SAME DECADE!! SO UNLESS YOU HAVE A FEW 100K LYING AROUND- DO WHAT YOU CAN! SAVE! #SAVE WITHOUT SACRIFICE- JUST BILLS AND CONTRACTS...GONE! :

If you’ve tuned into the latest mobile news, you’ll notice the “big guys” are throwing around “no-contract” as their hot new buzz word. Fact is, #PagePlus has been #“no-contract” since day one! That’s right – since 1998, we’ve been saving our customers money by providing no-contract prepaid cell phone service at affordable prices. Quite frankly, we believe in cell phone freedom without the red tape. Every day there are advertisements promoting brand new smartphones for less than $100 with a contract. In reality, you end up paying a whole lot more in the long run because these smartphones are heavily subsidized to make them “seem” like they don’t cost that much. In other words, if you’re paying $99.99 for a $600 phone, you end up paying the difference over the length of the two-year contract. Let’s look at an example –
Say you purchase a Samsung Galaxy SIII for $99.99 (retail $599.99) with a two-year contract. Now, your new contract requires you to pay $100 per month to have unlimited talk, unlimited text and 2 GB of data usage. So, let’s do the math –
Okay, so the total cost after two years comes out to be $2,499.99 if
you choose to take the contract route. And that’s not even including
taxes, surcharges or overages, which can easily spike up your monthly
bill. Now, let’s take a look at the cost of purchasing a brand new
smartphone from Page Plus and activating it on The 55 plan over the
course of two years without ever signing a contract –
Wow – that’s a total savings of $1,030.04 over the
course of two years (not including taxes and overages) compared to a
contract plan! Not to mention, Page Plus eliminates “bill shock”
altogether. That’s the beauty of prepaid – you pay for what you need
ahead of time and when you run out, simply add more minutes, messages or
data to your account.
The bottom line is that we’ve been in the no-contract business since 1998, and saving our customers money is what we’re all about. So, while you continue to hear more and more no-contract advertisements from the “big guys,” just remember, Page Plus has been saving cell phone users from contracts for the last 15 years!

| #Samsung Galaxy SIII | $99.99 one time purchase |
| #Two-year contract | $2,400.00 ($100 x 24 months)in a contract term! |
| Total cost | $2,499.99 (x 5= 10 yrs, or roughly $12,000! (mv) |
| Huawei Ascend Y | $149.95 one time purchase |
| No-contract prepaid $55 plan for two years | $1,320.00 ($55 x 24 months) |
| Total cost | $1,469.95 |
