Pros: My circle, dont drop your mobile to mobile, great reception, get through were other carriers dont, no roaming charges on verizon (big plus), and sprint, no longer contracts when changing plans, my lg ax8600 very reliable, very affordable
Cons: website problems and when that happenes i cant cant change my my cirlce contacts, costumer service needs just a little work, sometimes people say they call and they get the answer machine--dont here the call waiting beep.
Summary: I have had suncom, tmobile and now alltel. never went to sprint because i heard horrible stories, verizon is to expensive, tmobile has wonderful costumer service but my reception was way less than expected. suncom, well i just cant remember that far back.
My cirlce is the greates thing invented in the cell world for now!!!! my recent bill said that between the mobile to mobil and the my circle i have used 2300 minutes!!! and i still have a week to go. i have hardly used my airtime minutes.
i can remember that with tmobile my fave it just wasnt enough--one of them i had to put my husband down because tmobile dropped the mobile to mobile once you got a my fave so that only left me four!! so i was always telling people "call me after nine, running up my minutes, sorry bye"
now i feel so free!!!! Being in the army-- my family is so spread around this earth and with so many diffrent providers-this works fine, i can keep in touch as much as i want and with any of my fams provider!!! Friends included.
i feel more conected and like i said the reception is great.
i highly recoment alltel-but first please research your area--where your travel, ask around and if alltel is one of the options do take it before the other ones.my decision was made in the course of 6 months carefully watching other alltel users--and others. you do not want to be tied to something you cant afford or thats not usable to you.
