I wasn't sure if we had discussed plans and I realize now In was thinking of someone else, But what prompted the question was your data counter. 240/1024mb I was going to comment on how you had nicely stayed under 250mb and was wondering if you had considered the $15 plan?
So many of us had been trained by our former providers that more was better.....if you ran out of data and had to buy an add on or even worse per mb overages the charges were outrageous so we buy more than we need. Just in case.
The same holds true at PM but not anywhere close to the same price differences. Plan data is always cheaper than add on data however you are paying the highest price for plan data. Basically $10/1gb with the $25 plan. If you used your data as you typically do you are leaving $7.50 worth of data on the table.
You also have unlimited outgoing minutes. Now if you happen to use your phone for work or you just like to talk a lot then that may be important to you but really how much do you really use? When you initiate the call? How many calls are to government numbers or toll free numbers? Or voicemail? You may find that actual calls that would count towards outgoing minutes are not really that many. With the option of having the fongo app to check voicemail or sit on hold to a local number or call that friend who screens their calls so it goes to voicemail you may find 100 outgoing plan minutes is more than sufficient.
So now look at the $15 plan and see what you can save....add the $5/500 min add on. That just makes sense. No one wants to get cut off in the middle of an important call. Your data you can just track on your phone by using your data warning and limiter and if necessary purchase the $15/1gb add on. Now if you need the minutes or data it's there just like before but instead of wasting them each month they are rolling over each month.
It's taken me 20 months to use up one $5/500 min add on and the bf used about 300 of those minutes when he has borrowed my phone several times after losing his phone more than once. By making a few adjustments in my calling habits like telling my sisters to call me because they have unlimited plans, using fongo to check voicemail and being smart with how I use my data I have used less than 500mb of add on data in the past 18 months and again the bf can easily lay claim to half of that usage if not most of it.
Consider scheduling a change plan on next renewal.( As in today!) Buy the $5/500 min add on. See how it goes. You can always switch back if needed. You can't get back the $7.50 in wastage each month. That's $90 after 360 days. A couple of each of the add ons each year will still leave you with $50 in your pocket.
