As of Monday, July 21st, 2008, all new activations, nationwide, will be based on the new rating structure
described in the table below:
Currently, when a customer places an outbound call from a pageplus handset, she/he will hear the minutes
playing at the beginning of each call (The pre-call announcement). Because we are introducing more DATA
services, such as MMS, WAP, and later this year, Brew, we will be adding a new plan which customers will
be migrated to. This plan will play the pre-call announcements in Dollars instead of minutes.
In addition, we will also be introducing a new minute rating structure that will retain the same existing
number of minutes given for each card denomination and will pave the way to offer the new data services.
• The total number of minutes per card will remain the same; however, voice calls will be rated based on the
card denomination ($0.12 for $10.00), ($0.09 for $25.00), ($0.08 for $50.00) and ($0.06 for $80.00).
• Migration for existing customers will start on August 14th, 2008 as they replenish new cards; the new rating
structure takes effect once the first card is exhausted.
• As we move to new plans that offer multiple data services , the pre-call announcement will announce the
balance in dollar value.
• To enable MMS and WAP for unlimited nights and weekends and unlimited 24/7 customers , please contact
our call center at 800-550-2436.
• Once migration is completed, the current standard plan with minute announcement will be retired.
Below are samples of common MMS/WAP questions which we received so far from customers, we wanted to share the answers with you.
