I'm looking for opinions on Metro PCS and Cricket Specifically, but i'm open to any carriers other than Verizon or Sprint.
Questions I have:
What's the coverage like for talk/text in the Easley Greenville area?
What's the coverage like for data in the Easley Greenville area?
How do you like your phone and what phone do you have?
What do you pay monthly? Currently Metro and Cricket appear to be offering about 5 gigs of data on 2 lines for around $50-60 a month with unlimited everything else.
I spend most of my time in the Easley, Greenville area. Any help would be appreciated! thanks!
I had a tracphone in Easley and got good signal. Tracphones cost around $10 a month even for the smartphones.
I pay $10 a month for my Android Samsung Core Prime on tracphone with 4 GB of data for 12 months. The phone was "free" as part of a package deal from HSN.
My wife has a Virgin Mobile smartphone with unlimited for $37 a month after taxes. She gets good signal and we go over to the Easley Pickens area from time to time.
I have Republic Wireless in the Greenville area; T-Mobile is now the base carrier. Unlimited talk, and text + 1G data for under $23 / month (including all taxes, fees, and extra charges) with no contract.
MetroPCS is T-Mobile and Cricket is owned by AT&T.
Yes I am aware of that. I am interested in those specific carriers because of the price of the no contract packages they offer and the ability to use unlocked phones.
i live in easley and have had ATT T MObile and CRicket. T Mobile is fuc#ing garb$age. Cricket/ATT.. Is good so far had them for almost a month and im happy. $40 for 2.5gb data and unlimited calls/txts
Cricket is what I am planning on getting, have heard not so great things about metro/tmobile from pretty much everyone since I posted this. Thanks! this just reaffirmed what I had heard.
Boost uses Sprint (as does Virgin Mobile). StraightTalk maybe?...But they use all the carriers towers depending on phone signal type (CDMA/GSM) but not sure you can guarantee they'll use At&T.

You can / do guarantee it with the phone you pick (some may give you an option at activation), or the SIM you activate (for the self activation kit).
StraightTalk locks you to the carrier that you pick in the beginning, they don't jump from carrier to carrier at will.
