What's the catch? Why wouldn't everyone use RingPlus? Is it a good service?

Seems to work as well as regular sprint service for me. When you make a phone call you hear music or news instead of ringing. They charge a lot for overage. They charge for mms. I can't really say about the data speed because I don't have a browser, just use it for a couple of apps, which work perfectly fine for me.

Why doesn't Dan mention RingPlus on the main deals homepage? It appears to be an unbelievably good deal.

Call quality is some times vary choppy and unclear, while i have a regular Sprint line which works fine for me,
Seems like they're using a Sprint experimental technology or something that makes its call quality bad.

Data works well though, getting full LTE speeds everywhere, (although no roaming)

Anyone know if it's possible to still sign up... doesn't give option to add a line.  Are they not accepting any new lines at the moment? Tia

Uh oh. If they go under, you lose your number? Any advice on porting it out while keeping service? What was that commenter saying about Google?
