What is included in the $10 plan?

The $10.00 plan is our emergency plan. It's a great plan for someone who just wants a cell phone in case of an emergency. You pay the lowest monthly fee possible and only pay for minutes if you use them. You can call whomever you want within the U.S. The plan is $10.00 per month, plus tax, and 25¢ per minute of use. Most customers on this plan only use 20 minutes or less per month, and sometimes none at all. If you feel you would use the phone more frequently, we have many other plans that have included minutes.

Do your plans have free night and weekends?

All our plans are anytime minutes, so you can use your phone whenever you want. Our plans don’t have free nights and weekends because we’ve found that most customers use very little time during those periods – which is why other carriers give them away for free.

Do my unused minutes roll over each month?

Our plans start over every month without rollover minutes. Most plans with rollover minutes start at $50 per month, require a two year contract and only provide about 400 anytime minutes for that price. Any additional minutes are charged at 40-45¢ per minute.

On the other hand, our plans provide generous anytime minutes, require no contracts and only charge 10-25¢ per minute for additional minutes.

Since we provide you with more anytime minutes each month, you're actually less likely to have overages with one of our plans than with a rollover plan. If you’re on a rollover plan and have accumulated more minutes than you can use, you're probably paying too much for your plan. We can save you money by switching to one of our plans.
