Company Overview

Verizon Wireless prides itself in being the most profitable mobile carrier in the US. Based in Basking Ridge, New Jersey, it has a strong population of about 70 million customers. Its customer loyalty and low churn are notable as it continues to expand its network coverage across the country.

Prepaid Plans

Verizon Wireless has three INpulse plans that cater to your prepaid needs. The Core plan costs 10 cents per minute and the daily access charge is only 99 cents. You only pay this access charge on the days you use the service and IN calling, calling between Verizon phones, is unlimited. The INpulse Plus has a daily access charge of $1.99 on the days you use the phone. It includes unlimited IN calling and night minutes from 9:01 pm to 5:59 am. All other calls have a rate of 5 cents per minute. The Power plan is for $2.99 and it offers unlimited calls anytime of the day.

Pros and Cons

The INpulse plan gives a lot of savings especially if you choose the Power plan which allows unlimited calling for only $2.99 per day of use. But while many other providers do not charge an activation fee, activating a Verizon Wireless phone costs $25.

Features

Minutes

The rate per minute depends on the Inpulse plan that you subscribe to. The standard charge is 10 cents and it is available with the Core plan. But if you choose the highest plan which is the Inpulse Power, you get to have unlimited calling anytime at no additional charge.

Text and picture

The Core plan charges 10 cents per message sent and received. The Plus plan rates at 5 cents and the Power plan charges only 2 cents. The same charges apply when receiving international text messages but sending costs 25 cents. There are two options for unlimited messaging: $20 per month which includes unlimited messaging to any network in the US and $10 per month for unlimited messaging to any Verizon Wireless phones plus 250 text messages to any network. Sending pictures and videos has a rate of 25 cents per message.

Here is some advice about prepaid cellular phones and how you can go about choosing the perfect company for you and/or your family. Below is some information about cell phone companies that provide prepaid phone plans.

Most of the major providers have prepaid plans that allow you to put a certain dollar amount (for example, $50.00 or even $100.00) onto a pre-paid plan and then you just use it when you need it. I would suggest the plan where the minutes do not expire within 30 days, that way you won’t have to worry about using the minutes before the 30 days are about to end. Companies even have prepaid phone cards, where you can purchase a dollar amount and use it for minutes on your cellular phone.

Cingular now has a plan where you can put money on your account and then you just pay $1.00 every day that you use your phone and $0.10 a minute. That’s it! With Cingular’s plan, if you put on $15.00, it’s only good for 30 days and then it expires, however, if you put $100.00 on the account, then it is good for 365 days. So that’s a good thing, you won’t have to worry about adding funds, paying invoices, etc. The reason for that is simple, whenever you use the phone, the money would be deducted from the $100.00 that was originally put onto the account.

Verizon Wireless on the other hand offers an INPulse, which is very similar; however, the minutes expire after 120 days maximum (for example, $150.00 or more expires in 120 days). So that’s basically the only difference between Cingular Wireless and Verizon Wireless.

Sprint offers a “Spending Limit Program”, where as long as you don’t go over your predefined limit (for example, you pay for your usage upfront and that’s it), you are good to go and have nothing to worry about. You are basically choosing from their plans and pre-paying for the minutes. Just as long as you don’t go over your minutes then you should be fine, so watch your minutes.

T-Mobile offers a very attractive prepaid plan, where your bonus minutes don’t expire for one whole year, that’s fantastic! You get more minutes added based on how much you put on the card, so that’s another benefit. For $100.00, you would get 1,000 minutes added plus the minutes that don’t expire for a year.

So, if you’re looking to get a prepaid phone for someone or even for yourself it’s a good idea to start by looking at the coverage maps for the area that you our whom ever getting the phone lives in (or drives in) and see what provider has the best coverage.

If you believe that T-Mobile or Cingular have the best of the very best coverage, then I would suggest that you choose one of these providers because I think they have the best prepaid plans (minutes that don’t expire for 1 year, that’s great!). It would be a good idea to put $100.00 on your account. That way you won’t have to worry about next year, which is a big relief.

What is a “SIM” card? Basically speaking, a SIM card is a small chip which almost always sits under the battery on the back of a SIM based mobile phone. It can store data such as network provider, telephone contacts, and tariffs. Every SIM based mobile needs one in order for the phone to work correctly.

Could you tell me of any mobiles which allow dual SIM? For a straight forward answer: I dont think there is one on the market at the moment. I was wondering if Motorola L6 mobile accepts International Sim Cards? To answer your question would depend on if your phone is unlocked or locked. If your phone is locked to a network like say Verizon, then trying another operators SIM card in the phone would prove to be unsuccessful. If however the phone not locked then any SIM card from any operator would work just fine. The fact that the phones model is a L6, matters not. The only thing that you have to pay attention to is if the phone is locked or unlocked.

Is there any way I could buy a SIM card phone in the USA, then when I come back to America I can put my English SIM card in the phone and it will work? Or/and are there any way I can buy an American phone SIM card or non SIM card and then use it in England? First thing is that American and European phone systems work differently, they are the same concept, but different in many ways. The main problem you are going to run into is the network and programming problems. See if you buy an American phone, they are internally programmed by the manufacturer to work with that carriers network. And since your network over in England is different then here in America, there is no way they could ever be compatible. SIM cards fall under the same problem.

A option you do have is that if you only come to America every so often, you can get a international plan through a carrier and use it when your here, and use it to call back to England but when you want to go back home, you put the account into vacation mode, which is like a few bucks a month. Not sure if that option is even suitable for you.

What is the cheapest international plan I can get with a phone service provider in America so I could use my phone in America and out of America. You can make a few calls or jump online to a few websites. You should get all the information you need.

What happens if I bought an American phone and put it into ‘vacation mode’? Could I still use that phone in America? Vacation mode is an option carriers offer that will allow you to keep your account with them while you are away. The phone is active, and the account is active, but you are just not paying for the service in full cause your not using it. A lot of military and long vacation takers use this option while they are away. When you get back to America, you make a call and everything is back to normal-the phone works and you use it while you are here. When it is time to go back home, you call and it goes back into vacation mode till your next trip!
