Looking for a decent phone for page plus

[netzih]

Anyone selling a decent phone that can be used on pager plus?
I live in ch and an looking to pay under 50 (i guess I'm looking for something like the verizon palm pixi)

[elikay]

Can't you get it on amazon?

[netzih]

I can but I would rather pick up now if no one is selling I'll order from amazon

was looking for one as well and it seems that thats the best deal ur gonna get. looks like a nice phone.

does anyone know if page plus uses fully verizon towers?

[shach]

you can find it on ebay

BTW I hope you realize that PP does not offer a lot of data usage.

im not really looking for data plan, thats why im going with pageplus. the thing is that i want to try verizon out bec at&t has horrible service in my house and i was wondering if i buy page plus, is it the same service is verizon?

[momo]

i have pp and it does not have the same service as verizon

[elikay]

As someone who knows the inner workings of a cellphone,and in my own experience. I can verify that you do have the exact same service as if you would use that exact handset on Verizon service(service can vary from phone to phone). As a matter of fact, if you were able to get a Sprint phone to have Verizon settings it would have Verizon's reception, the only difference is that PP does not include roaming.

so in other words, if im trying to test out verizon service to see how good it works in my house then page plus should do it?

[elikay]

Absolutely, except you probably have 30 days with verizon to cancel anyway. Also, you must realize that the newer the phone the better the technology, and very old phones do not have good reception.

[Cbs]

if you get a phone from verizon then you have 14 days to cancel. and hows the palm pixi plus as far as reception goes?

[elikay]

Palm Pixi should have good reception, the best name in reception is LG.

@elikay do you have page plus. cuz i do and i can tell you that it does not have the same coverage as verizon. i stand next to someone who has verizon service i have no reception and he has reg service my phone is not that old that it should make that much of a difference in reception

Coverage depends on which towers the phone is told to use a verizon phone will always talk to the same towers regardless of what service you are using.  So like I sais if you were to use the exact same phone at the exact same location you would not see a difference.

i dont think it has to do with old or not, i have at&t (to be exact h2o) and i used it in a nokia e71x - not an old phone and didnt have great service - and i switched it to one of the small nokia go phones and in the same spots it has better service!
