Make It Wireless

DONT BE SCARD SILLY! I was scared to switch at first because its change~ I cant upgrade for free and I have to drive to pay in cash every month~but its really worth it. I’ve been using Make It Wireless for a year and I’ve saved over $ 485! I do the unlimited talk and text and LOTS of net (there is more net then I ever use in plan) and I pay $ 45 TOTAL~with no hidden charges or tax or overages added to my bill EVER! I talk and text LOTS and Im always on the net and I’ve NEVER gone over net/​talk and text is unlimited! Im with Verizon~ Do not do the $ 30 plan~its really easy to go over your time and will end up costing you more then $ 45. I like the staff and the owner. I usually go to Petco and Trader Joe’s on my way to pay my bill since TJ is close (funny the owner also works at TJ part time and is a genuinely nice and hard working guy). Its a bit of a hassle to drive there to pay cash every month, but I FIGURE THAT I PAY MYSELF ABOUT $ 40 CASH EVERY TIME I DRIVE there (thats allot of free food at TJ’s and Petco dog toys) because thats about what I save by driving to Make It Wireless to pay my bill! Boy, I sure love this «no monopoly» law that allows small businesses to sell the same service from the same towers for less then half as much!
P. S. My girlfriend and her husband switched last year to MIW and they said they saved over $ 600 because they were always paying overages (and tax on overages) and other hidden fees! Oh and we dont miss those long Verizon phone calls to «discuss» how to prorate your overages (more like BEG them to lower the $ 100 plus in extra hidden charges. WHAT A STUPID NIGHTMARE it was dealing with Verizon and there high scam charges. The discount~pay as you go plans in the small shops (like MIW) they use the same towers and its just silly to pay more then we have to??? What are you going to do with the $ 300~$ 500 you save every year? Or maybe you have hundreds of extra dallers to waist every year because you’re afraid of change?

A serious budget hunter «I don’t do retail» friend of ours turned us on to this little corner wireless service provider and cell phone shop on Milpas. After a friendly conversation with Sean (store manager) We decided to stay with our original carrier. But our friend loves it. She has an iphone and pays $ 60 monthly flat fee for unlimited service/​data. The service is Page Plus /​Verizon network, handled by Make It Wireless. The monthly fee is as cheap as I’ve seen, but the rub is, it’s a cash only store. Meaning to keep your service, you need to stop by and see Sean every month, unless you pay a few months in advance. I dunno, seems a bit of hassle. Our friend has been using them for more than 6 months, and says her cell/​data service is OK and she’s had a few problems but they were resolved quickly and professionally. I remain curious and maybe more willing to make the leap after I get our next phone bill from Verizon.
