Heh. I just checked my usage for this cycle. 85.6mb cellular and 2.53gb wifi.
Yep, I use mostly WiFi, too. Never have come close to using up my measly 500MB, even when we were on vacation.

The only thing about it is the second thought I give everything. How much data will this use? Should I wait until I can get wifi somewhere? How secure is that wifi going to be? What if my wife blows out her 500mb of data by texting giant images? Sometimes I envy my brother with his grandfathered unlimited data verizon plan.

Successful PP 4G here.
Ordered my PP 4G sim before the rollout, on ebay from pageplusdirect.com for about $7. Had my PP Galaxy S3 re-configured by Jay Solo, jscellservice@gmail.com for $30. Also on ebay. He had earlier configured my S3 and unlocked it (requires a PC to hook into).
4G is working and nicely faster than 3G was. You need the $29.95 per month or higher plan to get 4G, but you probably already knew that.

I hope PPC is paying you for being their ambassador to the MR/F!
Ha, ha. I wish.
I was thinking about switching my ST iPhone 5 to 4G, but I am on Wifi 90% of the time, and with throttled speeds, it doesn't really seem worth the trouble. I think I have decided to wait till next year, to upgrade to a 6+, so I may decide to upgrade to 4G later, but I am good for now. I do wonder if I would get better call quality on 4G. I need to test that with my daughter's phone sometime.
I am glad that if I do get a 6+ at some point, it should be simple to get it activated.
I thought I read that Straight Talk phones would be locked out somehow, but could be wrong (had to wade through a bunch of battman garbage...)

I hear you. When my mother-in-law switched from her Verizon unliminted data, to get her new 5S last year, I was monitoring her usage like a hawk for the first month or so. That Unlimited plan was costing her about $100 a month and she was using less than 1GB, so it didn't make sense to keep it, but it was nice not to worry about it.

That guy is full of himself. The ST iPhone 5 would activate just fine on PP because it was throttled to work on 3G, for ST, but there has been a lot of speculation about whether or not it would work on 4G. It does, apparently, but some people have had weird problems with it. Since I don't need 4G right now, I am keeping mine like it is.
I have always had my ST iPhone 5 on PP, never on ST.
