Well it runs on the Sprint network so it will have the same coverage as sprint, which in my experience in Lakewood is pretty solid for talk and text.

Data on the other hand I don't know about. I only use it for talk and text. It's most probably the same as any other sprint mvno.

How long does it take to port in a number? Website says up to 5 days. Does it really take that long?

It took us a lot less.  I don't remember if it was on the same day or not.

One time took a couple hours and once after 24 hours I contacted them and was done instantly.

Pretty good in Lakewood for talk and text. Make sure you have a 4G phone.

Is there anyway to have a non smartphone activated? What happens if I put in a sim card into a non smart phone?
