Are You Unlimited Bound
So what are the signs that you're Unlimited bound? Consider
the
following tips and questions.
- You use your phone a lot and
don't want to worry about how many minutes you have in your bucket, or
what the price per minute is if you go over.
- You use your phone primarily in the same state or general
area, and don't travel often.
- You want the best value for your money, and are prepared to
commit to paying a specific amount on the same day each month.
- You're
committed to the plan from the beginning and don't expect to want to
change plans. This is particularly important to note because
with most wireless providers offering this type of service there's
often a significant cost to change
to another plan (ex. a new phone), or they simply don't offer any other
plans to change to, so switching would be starting all over with a new
wireless carrier.
- Look for these things when comparing costs of Unlimited
providers:
- What's the monthly cost of the plan?
- What's included in the plan and what's extra?
(ex. Is text messaging included?)
- What
the home calling area coverage? This is important because
when you
leave your home calling area, you'll be charged traveling fees (this
doesn't necessarily mean that you're on a different carrier's network,
it just means that you've left the boundaries of your normal calling
area).
- What are the traveling fees? There will most
likely be
times when you leave your home calling area on travel.
Depending on
how often you do, this cost may or may not be important to you.
- What
are the convenience/service fees for making your monthly payment?
Because of the value of these plans, wireless
providers
typically charge a replenishment fee. This definitely affects
the true
monthly cost to you for these plans.
- If you don't like the plan, does the carrier have another
plan you can easily switch to?
