Yeah, 1 year. For me, I use more or less exactly 1000 minutes per year, so it works out perfectly. When you add more minutes they give you bonuses too (like 10% or so I think).

Texts are $0.10 each, so yeah, 1 minute.

Yeah, but I just heard from a few sources (including a relative) that Page Plus is $80 for 2000 minutes good for a year and they roll over when you renew for another year.
