Phone Companies Other Than Sprint
« on: February 15, 2011, 09:58:08 PM »
Hi

I've watched a lot of Sprint bashing recently, so who else is out there?

At&t is minimum $25/line for data, including the first two lines. They didn't realize that iPhone crazyness died down and people wont pay that anymore.

Is metropcs really limited and impractical?
Does boost really not have the same service as Sprint? noticeable?
Does Page Plus have any data plans?
Virgin?

Customer service?

If you guys have experience, it might be helpful to people... (will definitely help me, thats why i'm posting this ;))

OMG, I just wrote a long response to your post, and the stupid login bug logged me out and now my response is gone :(

The Gist of my response was as follows:
iPhone craziness still going strong IMHO.
PagePlus has no unl. data plan AFAIK.
MetroPCS sucks IME.
VM/Boost (CDMA) should work for you if you don't roam, don't use GPS, don't need the latest smartphone, etc. If you set lower expectations, I think you'll be happy with VM/Boost (CDMA).

Ugh.
Usually when you go back it saves it...nothing there I'm assuming?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.
