Needing suggestions going from 2 phones to 1

Hey guys,

I have an old RadioShack plan - $20 per month for 750 A/T minutes, unlimited M2M (Verizon to Verizon) and have added $5 per 250 text. I used to get 600 for free, but, they dropped that option when I did an ESN change once.

I really want to keep Verizon.

I have a Sprint phone too that's $20 for 3,000 minutes.

I want to have both #s on one phone.

I am thinking about Page Plus ($55 for Unlimited Talk/Text and 2 GB of data.) I an also add 2 GB (to my Verizon) for $30 a month (because I am grandfathered in.)

I now work for a state agency that gives me a 15% discount (if my plan is above $34.99 a month - it's not worth it, I don't think.)

I need more than 750 minutes.

I just read about some apps that use WiFi and Data to power Google Voice - and a minute is 1.2 MB. I have Wi-Fi at home, but, travel some. If in Wi-Fi, I could talk for free. The app is called GooVe IP.

I was also told last night that I could get an app called TextPlus, which would allow me to send/receive texts as data.

I'd rather keep Verizon (Sprint works ok in some my area, but, not in all.)

Any thoughts on the best option for me?

Thanks.

Jeremy
