PlatinumTel Prepaid Wireless announced the introduction of “Real Paygo“, an a al carte prepaid cell phone plan that offers what the company dubbed as “the most competitive rates in prepaid cell phone service”.
Here are the details of the new plan:
- Five (5) cents per minute
- Two (2) cents per text message
- Ten (10) cents per megabyte of web use
- Ten (10) cents per picture message
- Plans are available in $10, $20, $30, $50, and $100 increments. The $10 and $20 plans provide 90 days of service, the $30 and $50 provide 180 days of service, and the $100 provides a full year of service.
- Free long distance
- Free on-network roaming
Pros: This is considered to be the cheapest pay-as-you-go offering in the United States, especially the SMS and Data rates.
Cons: Phone selection isn’t great, at least what’s available online (vs. retail).
