AT&T MVNO Pure TalkUSA launched a new promotion today offering a free month of service to new subscribers who signup between May 15th and June 30th, 2017. There are no special promo codes required to signup, and no special purchases are necessary outside of the usual requirement of needing a SIM card which Pure TalkUSA sells for $3.00.
Pure TalkUSA allows customers to bring their own phone and they also have devices available for purchase if you need one. The phone selection is rather limited and mostly consists of older or low to mid range devices. The following phones are available for purchase from Pure TalkUSA:
- ZTE Z222 basic phone for $25
- Alcatel One Touch Pixi 3 $50
- Samsung Galaxy Express 3 $89
- Alcatel Pixi 4 $90
- LG Phoenix 2 $105
- Alcatel POP 4S $150
- HTC One M8 $215
- Apple iPhone 6S $649
Of course if you need a phone, you could also pick up today's deal, the 64 GB Motorola G4 Plus from B&H Photo which is currently on sale for $219.99. Any AT&T compatible or GSM unlocked phone will also work with Pure TalkUSA.
Pure TalkUSA offers subscribers a limited ability to custom build their own phone plans and a variety of plan options are available.
Senior and Simple Plans start at $10.00/month and feature 300 minutes with 50 MB of data and 50 MMS messages. SMS text messages get deducted from your monthly minutes at a rate of 3 SMS text messages are equal to one minute. The Senior plans however include Senior AddVantage. With Senior AddVantage subscribers earn 10% back in free bonus minutes every month for their first 5 months of service. So after one month of service on the Senior basic plan you'd have 330 minutes to use in month two. By month 6 you will have maxed out your free bonus minute accruals, but you'll get to keep them moving forward.
Pure TalkUSA's unlimited plans start at $24/month and feature unlimited talk and text with 200 MB of data and 200 MMS messages. BestMVNO ranks the $29 plan that features 1.5 GB of 4G LTE data and unlimited talk, text and MMS as their best value plan. It can be found in the BestMVNO table of the cheapest cell phone plans that cost $30 or less.
The company also offers multi line or family plan discounts. Each family member can pick the plan that best fits their needs. Accounts with two lines of service will receive 10% off of their bill total, those with three lines will get 15% off and those with four lines get 20% off.
Taxes and fees are included with the listed prices, so you won't be in for any surprises when you signup for service. If you've been on the fence about Pure TalkUSA, now is your chance to give them a free spin so head on over to the Pure TalkUSA website to take advantage of their free month trial offer.
I was told yesterday, by a PureTalk USA customer service person, that the taxes and fees are NOT included in their plans….which is very disappointing.
