iWireless by Fredmeyer/Kroger Review
>For those of you who follow my Facebook page you likely know about my recent teenage drama-cell phones. To make a long story short, I had a contract with Sprint for 2 Android’s and a regular text friendly phone for my daughter that I was paying around $165 for. I wanted to find a way to cut my bill and since Sprint was not offering any help in that department and in actuality mysteriously raising my bill bit by bit each month I decided enough is enough. We switched to Cricket and the sales guy was good at his job and managed to up sale me an Android for my daughter.

iWireless by Kroger/Fredmeyer
What it is: It’s a prepaid cell phone service. They also have monthly flat rate unlimited plans available. The Kroger/Fredmeyer plan offers a variety of phones to meet your needs. From very basic flip phones, Text friendly, to full Android operating phones. You can view more information on https://www.iwirelesshome.com/.
Plans: Family Share Plans as low as $80 for 2 lines or as high as $240 for unlimited minutes/text for 5 lines. Individual plans as low as $25 or pay as you go $5 a month and 10c minutes/text. *Picture messaging is extra through ALL the plans. If you do a lot of picture messaging then iwireless may not be the company for you.
Free Minutes: This is my favorite part of the Kroger/Fredmeyer link. If you have a rewards card you will earn 20 free minutes/text for every $100 you spend. If you have a family plan or individual plan you will get $2 off your monthly bill for every $100 you spend. This includes gift card purchases but not gas purchases. Plus, when you purchase select gift cards you will earn double the free minutes! Go to this page https://www.iwirelesshome.com/free-minutesto read more about how to earn free minutes.
Customer Service: I was talking to customer service twice tonight and have to say they are really easy to work with compared to other prepaid companies. Just do a general Google search and see what I mean. Search “prepaid customer service, net10, go phone, ect”.
I’ll keep you informed on the outcome, if she keeps this phone or if I’ll need to go with a different company. For right now it seems like the $25 a month will work well for her but they gave us a deal where she gets .10 cent text & talk for 3 months. So I’ll likely do that until it expires, unless she ends up sending too many text messages:)
*Another thing I learned and love is incoming text messages are not charged to your account. Only text messaging that you send are charged.
* Something I did not like is picture messaging is extra. .20 cents per picture message. I do not yet know if you are charged .20 cents to view them.
