Please refrain from such language in the future. It is hateful, and will not be tolerated in MD&G

but I have to get another phone if I want to go tmobile. This gay earth. f it

Sigh . . . sell your current phone and use the funds to pick up a TMO compatible phone. Prepaid TMO phones are easily under 100. Lumia 521s are often under 80.

I'm so glad a I found my ZTE Supreme and an MVNO that lets me use this phone for only $10 a month.

I assume you got this phone on a 2 yr contract, so you're pretty much commited to being robbed for 2 years. It would seem that you are only 1 year into your contract?

The Verizon Moto G is only available on Verizon Prepaid. No subsidy and no contract.

The plan has gotten a little better recently, but it's still pretty bad. With usage like that, the OP should really go with a PayGo option. Verizon Prepaid doesn't offer it.

pageplus?

You can't bring a Verizon Prepaid phone to PagePlus, especially the Moto G, which is bootloader locked and unflashable, at least for PagePlus.

But if you're talking about where the OP should go (presumably by selling the phone and getting a different one, say Boost Mobile Moto G, for instance, if he likes it so much. It's flashable to PagePlus), then yes, it's a good option.

people being politically correct love the power. obviously, he's completely in it because he doesn't like offensive words, but offensive thread titles like "God dammit google" are allowed because they don't pray to Google.

How is that offensive? Doesn't someone saying that just wants his God to damn Google?

Saying the earth is a happy place is bannable?

But yeah, vzw is a rip price wise for most people, I'm still tossing out the cash for the speed and coverage area though. Sucks..

IMO, context matters. In this context it appears to be derogatory since "f this happy earth" doesn't make contextual sense.

If you had a problem with it why did you sign up for it?

PagePlus is an MVNO (an independent carrier that are using Verizon's network). Website.

PagePlus currently accepts all types of Verizon postpaid phone, but for the Standard plan - pay to go and $12/month plan (the ones that are relevant to your usage) it only accepts Verizon's non-4G LTE phones.

There's a way to use some other type of phones on PagePlus, and it's called 'flashing' it (people are selling this service for ~$40 or you can do it yourself if you're up to it). Flashing is not rooting, it's something else entirely. Boost Mobile's version of the Moto G are one of those phones that can be flashed so it will work with PagePlus' plans.

So, you signed up for a plan that is more than you need, that costs more than you want to pay... And it's Verizon's fault?

That would be like me going to Costco, buying 40 rolls of toilet paper, and then complaining that I don't need that much or want to pay that much.
