The new option allows you to input the desired area code and prefix of the number, as opposed to being limited to only zip code. There is now a new input field on the Kitty Wireless New Activation form where you can enter the first 6 digits of the desired number, and if there is an available number with that area code and prefix, it will be assigned.

The new option will eliminate the issue sometimes experienced in the zip code method where an assigned number was not in fact local to the customer’s actual area code.

If you enter both a ZIP CODE and an Area Code & Prefix on the new activation form, the Area Code & Prefix will take priority and a number will be issued based on the Area Code & Prefix.

This does NOT mean that you are GUARANTEED a number in your desired area code & prefix. However, it does mean that you have a MUCH BETTER CHANCE of getting a LOCAL phone number assigned, based on that area code & prefix, than previously basing it on just the zip code of the area, since ZIP Codes covered such a huge area – an area codes & prefixes are more narrowly defined.

As always, Kitty Wireless is on the cutting edge of Page Plus technologies. No other Page Plus dealer online offers the level of self service automated tools that we do, and this is just another example of our dedicated to improving your Page Plus experience.

As you can see, both Page Plus and Kitty Wireless have a lot of changes, updates & new things going on this summer – from new phones, to updated plans, to more self service options – and we’re not done yet! Stay tuned.

Thanks,
Kitty Wireless

PS .. There is NO POSSIBLE WAY (yet) to let you pick and choose the entire phone number for a new activation. This is just one step in the right direction to making sure you get a LOCAL phone number for your area. ]]> http://blog.kittywireless.com/2011/08/22/kitty-wireless-improves-new-activation-procedures-to-allow-customers-to-enter-desired-area-code-prefix/feed/ 0 http://blog.kittywireless.com/2011/08/18/08172011-talk-n-text-1200-adds-more-value/ http://blog.kittywireless.com/2011/08/18/08172011-talk-n-text-1200-adds-more-value/#comments Thu, 18 Aug 2011 21:17:37 +0000 KittyWireless http://blog.kittywireless.com/?p=60 Continue reading →]]> 08/17/2011 – TALK N TEXT 1200 UPDATES – Effective today, Talk n Text 1200 $29.95/mo changes as follows:

a)  1200 Minutes per month will stay the same (but see below!)
b)  2000 Messages per month will change to 3000 Messages per month
c)  100mb of Data per month will stay the same (but see below!)

Customers who are currently on a Talk n Text 1200 plan will get the new allocation of Text Messages upon their next cycle renewal.  There is no possible way to modify a plan in progress. 

For this plan only, Talk n Text 1200, the following overage rates will apply from this point forward (Overage Rates for Power Texting and Unlimited Talk n Text will remain unchanged at their old rates, see our website for information):

d)  The 15 Cent per Megabyte over 100mb is now 10 Cents per Megabyte!!

e)  The 15 Cent per Text Message over 3000 is now 5 Cents per Text Message!! (The MMS overage rate remains at 10 cents per MMS Message)

f)  The 10 Cent per Minute over 1200 is now 5 Cents per Minute !!

These overage rates are a HUGE bonus for Talk n Text 1200 people.  You can now add 100mb of extra data for $10 and 250mb of extra data for $25.

To add extra data to your Talk n Text 1200 plan, all you need to do is purchase a One Time $10 or $25 PIN from this page, we will add it for you, and you’ll be able to use overage data at the lower rate, effective immediately.

REMINDER for Talk n Text 1200 Customers on Kitty AutoPay (and those not on Autopay as well):  Talk n Text 1200 plan customers should not keep a cash balance of more than $29.94 in their cash account at any given time – doing so will prompt Page Plus to debit your cash balance for plan renewals instead of leaving those funds alone for overage needs.  Funds under $29.94 in your cash account on your Talk n Text 1200 will remain there until you use them.
