Will a US cellular phone have to be flashed?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

Selectel has a similar plan at 15 per month.

any one know how selectel service compares to page plus I have the same problem 

I just bought my wife a galaxy s5. She tried activating the Page plus $12 plan (She uses her phone very minimally) but was told that she can't get that plan with the S5 because it's a 4g phone. Is there any way around this? She doesn't really need her phone to be 4g

I just noticed that this is in the wiki. I'd still like to know if there are any ways around this. I'd even consider a different carrier that has a similar plan that would work with the same phone

WIki "4G devices could only be replenished $29.95 monthly plan or higher, standard plans not allowed".

Are you trying to get lower plan?

Selectel gives 2GB for $40 plan vs. PP only 1.5GB.

IME the PP $40 plan basically gives you unlimited 4G LTE until the phone dies or you shut it. Just my experience.

What does that mean?  Browsing no?  Or it has to be constant use?

Are you saying that everyone paying for the more expensive plan is throwing away their money?

No it's throttled after the allotted data

Once you start streaming even if you go over the allotted data it will continue at fast speed.

When you start a new connection it will be slow data

Exactly. Ydad is off base in saying there's no difference between PP $40 and Selectel. The latter gives another .5GB of 4G data.

yes but the one thing you do gain is that on PP when you finnish you data it does not just turn off it just goes slow. Difference is when you are at the end of the month (last day) if you will just be able to hold out with slow data or... no data

As I posted above, I also have the $40 ppp. And I hav 4g LTE for 3.5 GB so far this month. Its possible that in the beginning of the month it was a bit quicker, however it's still pretty good and shows on my phone that it's 4g LTE.
