It works great anywhere that Verizon has coverage (as cheap as 8 cents a minute). 120 day expiry. 99 cent roaming, though. It works in Canada, too, although the Rogers network is good enough up here that you will rarely need that. Could be useful in northern Saskatchewan or something. :) I actually activated a bag phone on PagePlus too. It seems wrong, having a bag phone with a Los Angeles number, but there it is. I was in Minot, ND a couple of weeks ago. In the city, T-Mobile was fine (it roamed on Dobson or Alltel). Outside of the city, GSM coverage was awful so I used PagePlus. While we were in town, my wife had the PagePlus phone so that if we got split up, we could still phone each other. It was funny - when I was getting my room key at the hotel, a guy there needed to use a phone but didn't have a cell and there was no payphone. I offered him my T-Mobile phone. The hotel desk employee just about had a fit. "Aren't you from Canada? It will cost you a fortune!" I told him "It's T-Mobile, it's got a California number and it'll cost me a dime. I only use my Canadian phone in Canada." He seemed surprised that that was even possible. Jim - - T-Mobile-US on Google Groups: http://groups.google.com/group/T-Mobile-US _ _ Yahoo!
