Pros: I can use the phone 24/7 for local, long distance, text and email messaging, sending photos, taking pictures. Pay one flat fee for everything. No long term contract.
Cons: Internet doesn't work that great. I keep getting booted if I go to my internet home page or I can't get into the other service. Can't text numbers to contests on Tv, can't get ringtones from other online services. Have to pay roaming fees if you leave your area. No really cool ringtones and they need to increase the volumn on some of them.
Summary: I would recommended this service to everyone. If you have friends or family who live in other states or instate but their long distance. I wish that since their in other city's here and also other states that they would drop the roaming charges and would also allow ringtones from other websites. But I use my phone 24/7 for local and long distance and with other services you can't do this unless you but pre-paid. They you would spend more a month buying the top-up cards.
