Find someone who has a decommissioned Verizon or Alltel CDMA phone that still works and charges. Look under the battery for the Electronic Serial Number (MEID it's called). Write it down. Boot up the phone on whatever system it accesses and let logon to the system. Dial #737 and it will connect to Pageplus from anywhere. Follow the prompts to install it onto Pageplus for $10 off your credit card. It will ask you for the MEID, just key it in. $10 will get you service and 100 minutes, giving you plenty of time to check out Verizon on the new number on Pageplus to see if Verizon has good, reliable service where you want to use it, like from home. There IS a whopping 50c/month service charge that will come off your balance each month. Whoever gave you the phone will probably tell you to keep it (I have 4) as they have a new, more glitzy superphone that takes military quality recon photos, 4G internet and Boze stereo so won't want it back. If you want a Verizon superphone, just let the Pageplus phone use up the minutes over the next 4 months and it will stop working....or, if you like to save money, just recharge the phone with a discount PIN number from Callingmart.com. $50 Pins are $45-47 for 1000 mins. $80 Pins are now 2000 minutes, or 3.6c/min with no funny business. No monthly bill is kinda fun after you get used to it......or you can just give the phone back to your benefactor and become a Verizon Contract Slave to hand over your paycheck every month for 2 years so you can play WebTV on a Glitzphone 8000 to impress the girls. Gives you a really cheap, no hassle way to test Verizon's system where you live without that resistance of taking back the phone and trying to beg them to cancel your contract....which they just don't want to do, of course...... Better PP instructions for really cheap Verizon service is on: http://nordicgroup.us/prepaid/pageplus.html Where it says 5.3c/min think 3.6c/min Where it says 1400 mins think 2000 mins. The webpage numbers need updating but the ideas are quite valid. -- Creationism is to science what storks are to obstetrics. Larry
