    Again i agree! Here in my area 4G i get with at@t. My wifes new phone gets 3G but not 4G due to smart talk using sprints network.

    + 1 dumb phone @ 9.99

    150.00, and by the time they add taxes its 160.00, my wife gets 10% off from her work, so it works out to be 154.00 after taxes.

    Depends on which service you pick. Get a Nokia e71 and you get AT&T Postpaid coverage. Buy one of their crappy android phones and you get Sprint native service only.




    For 45.00 a month its a screaming deal. Put my wife on Tmobiles 30.00 100 min/unlimited data/text plan, and buy My Mom 1000 minutes good for a whole year on T-mobile, and cut my bill in HALF.

    i just got a text msg (i posted earlier in a new thread). it said i was in the top 5% of data usage. i used 2.6 GB on day 19 of my billing cycle. I am on the old "unlimited plan".

    It said to avoid slowdowns use wifi. i stream pandora and slacker quite a bit over 3G. Heaven forbid i use my service i pay for. They should have known smart phone users needed data.

    i do not want to hear their belly ache crying over my data useage. This reminds me of long distance in the 80's.

    i couldnt imagine them slowing 3G any slower around here. Maybe more fiber to the tower would work better than making customers leave.

    i am seriously considering virgin mobile 55.00 per month plan. getting the motorola triumph android phone. seems like a good deal. i have a couple friends with that plan and it works. they are heavy users. Virgin uses the sprint network here.

    my iphone 4 can become an ipod touch as far as i am concerned.
