Pontifex, the PagePlus dealer that I go through has brand new e815 phones on her website: http://www.kittywireless.com/phones.html And starting today, they are $20 off!!

There was a rumor at one time that PagePlus was going to come out with an intermediate plan, like a 500 min/500 texts/500mb data for $20 a month. I would love that!

HOLY SHIT is the pic on that site is accurate they have the BLACK e815, which wasn't on Verizon but a pre-paid offset of them, and maybe Alltel. I love the e815 and it looks even better in black. I gotta jump on this.

which means i have to pay out the ass for a phone.

Sounds like you want the best of both worlds; which ain't gonna happen. Either you get dirt cheap rates and no contract, or you get high rates, a contract, and cheaper phones.

There are phone deals out there, but you probably want the very latest, and those cost big $$$. Incredible's, Touch 2's, etc., are not gonna be cheap.....

nope, i want an inexpensive, no frills phone. I just put my order in through Verizon for the Samsung Convoy with my New Every 2 feature. it was the best rated of the "feature phones" available from verizon.

I went though this same issue w/ my wife at Verizon from switching from ATT< but she found a great QWERTY keyboard that required no data plan and I got the droid.

Only reason I got a smartphone though is because my work offers 20% discount on main line + data =D

Heck, there are a ton of phones out there you could have gotten for $10-20 and got on PagePlus. Sounds like you got what you needed. I'll have to go check out the Convoy. Haven't seen it.
