Not to take away from the greatness of this post at all but just to mention that I have been using my TP2 on Page Plus Cellular
http://www.pagepluscellular.com/ for several months now and as far as I can tell, it works for all aspects of the device and as well was a no brainier to get it working as they use the Verizon network.
Simply put if you have a TP2 and it works on Verizon, it will be just the same on PagePlus.
Now I'm not saying PP doesn't have its issues as their customer service is speratic and can really take their time getting issues resolved, so it is kind of a your on own carrier but I think that is to be expected from any low cost alternative.
But at $29.99 for 1,200 min talk or text, or $45.95 for unlimited of those. I can deal with that.
Note that with the 1,200 plan you only get 50.00mb data, and the unlimited you only get 20 but if your not a data hog and or have enough Wifi, an just care about talk & text, and are looking for a real easy mechanical transition from Verizon and I think others to PP, with these prices you could really get some savings.
Note also and this is not a plug but I use a dealer of theirs called Kitty Wireless
http://www.kittywireless.com/ that not only are the best people to deal with as far as anything regarding a sign up an switchover but also I have set up with them a autorenewal to which they handle everything for my monthly renewals and have been spot on for this and as well are flawless at sending me notifications that everything has been done.
Hope this is helpful.
