"Great plans, Can't find better deals anywhere"
Pros: Good coverage in California, Lots of Flashing services for Cool phones, Geat Price!
Cons: Roaming Minutes
Summary: I don't know about other areas but it seems that my Cricket phone gets better reception/service then most of my friends. My wife's phone (from a large carrier) wont even work in our house which is in the middle of town.... My phone is clear as a bell.
I had a hard time with the lack of "cool" phones until I surfed Ebay.... you can get a smart phone with internet (Through Cricket) and all the bells and whistles for around $300 AND you dont have to pay heavy data charges like other providers.
I've been trying to talk myself into going with one of the larger companies but I just can't justify the costs. Even with $300 phones I save a ton in msging and talk time. Not to mention the fact that I never have to worry about "Did I go over this month, was that peak time, was that number in my free calling plan".... Honestly, its 2008 why the heck are the phone companies bleeding us dry with this dog and pony show? I have personally never had 1 problem with customer service but then again I have only called them twice in the past 2 years...
Roaming is the only sticky point. I find my self not traveling enough to care but if you travel a lot you might want to consider that a problem... when traveling my phone works in all kinds of small out of the way places so the service is still there.
