Okay, I know it is still kind of confusing to me too. I was mistaken about having to pay the $8.99 each time you activate and deactivate the standby plan. The $8.99 is the price for each month you're on the standby plan. When you are on your regular plan you pay the regular price for the portion of the month that you used your regular plan. I also discovered that you have to have the regular plan active for 3 months before you can go into the standby plan.
