$30/mo for 5GB 4G (then I assume 2G after) is quite a deal! If the minutes were higher, I'd use this as my primary provider. As a data-only plan though, that's not too bad!
Yes. It is quite a deal. I pay .10 per minute after the small allocation is used up, but I've only use all 100 minutes twice in the last year I've had this plan.
If I were less lazy and needed more minutes, I'd setup grooveip (or something similar) with my google voice account.
I use my phone quite a bit due to having a widely dispersed family and an upcoming wedding. I also occasionally use my phone for work, but do not get reimbursed for the cost. You have this plan? Do they do the "nights and weekends free" thing? Do they charge for "in network" calls?
I'm actually seriously thinking about switching, as my Net10 experience is sub-par compared to an actual carrier, and $30/mo is better than $45/mo no matter how you split it. 100 minutes is just too low for me, though. I love my Windows Phone, but that means no Google Voice or realistic VOIP offering.
Me: On a plan that says "First N GB at 4G speeds", what
speed do I get after I hit the cap?
Rep: Once the allotted high-speed data has been used
speeds will be throttled down to our 2G speeds.
This would be comparable to about twice the speed
of dial-up which translates to about 100 kbps.
