Hi all! I'm looking to bring two phones over to PagePlus (I think).

I'm wanting a smartphone, but I refuse to pay $30/month extra for data on Verizon. I'm in my home office with Internet 24/7 anyway.

So can you connect to the Internet and download and use apps via WiFi with PagePlus? I've been assuming so... but I can't find concrete confirmation.

What about making calls over Wi-Fi? Is that possible if you have one of the plans with a limited number of calls? (so as not to use your minutes)

Also... have any of you successfully used a Samsung Galaxy S2 with Page Plus?

Pageplus runs off of Verizon's CDMA network, so I doubt Galaxy S2 will work. Perhaps it can be flashed to work, but I don't know how that works.

You can use wifi on pageplus, though I'm not sure about wifi calling.

Pageplus works best with Verizon branded, 3g phones.

I only use wifi to download apps, youtube etc... Depending on the speed of your wifi you can make calls using a voip app such as talkatone or groove ip.

There are CDMA versions of the S2 (i.e. Boost Mobile) that should work just fine with PagePlus, though they will have to be flashed. Search Youtube for Verizon Prepaid and you'll find info for cell flashing services that can flash a phone to Verizon prepaid.

Just my two cents here... But the one thing that Page Plus really shines at is cheap as hell minutes with excellent nationwide coverage. You can get 1200 minutes for $30 on Page Plus...

That said, you can use a smartphone on WiFi, it has nothing to do with Page Plus. You are bringing your own phone, so it just depends on what your phone can do.

Also my two cents, if you don't know if a smartphone can use WiFi, you may not want to go down the path of flashing a phone onto PP. It can be undone with updates, etc. It will either work perfectly, or you'll probably find it a real hassle.
