Good rates and easy access

Overall Rating:
4.7 out of 5
By: Guillermo Ramirez on Tuesday, December 06, 2005
From: Arlington, TX (United States)
Experience: 90 Days
Pros: Very good rates

Large quantity of access numbers
Clear connections

Cons: Still not covering all the US with local access numbers
A few times the connection is noisy or has been dropped (but very few)

Summary: I like the service and if you are using a phone with a national plan then the access numbers are not an issue. No complaints so far and do not expect to have any. I have not had the need of contacting customer service.

Experience: 2 Months
Pros: With a national rate plan in your cell phone it gives you a very cheap way to call international numbers. The rates are excellent.

Cons: In my area there are no local numbers for the service so I can only use it in my cell phone.

Summary: Good service that will get even better as they expand their network

From: Sacramento, CA (United States)
Experience: 4 Months
Pros: This service is very easy to use it gave me the options that I wanted and put me in touch with the vendor that was right for me.

Cons: It is not an instant process to do that I had to start over with the provider directly.

Summary: I you are planning and do not need it for a call right now this is the beast way to go they can also point you to a provider that will fit your needs exactly.

    Mini-Review: BlackBerry 8220

    The first ever flip BlackBerry is a winner, so long as you play to its strengths.  While the 8220 is very large for a modern day flip phone, it's lightweight and slick looking enough to trick you into thinking it's a little smaller than it really is.  I've had the 8220 for just under a week now, and I very quickly grew used to carrying it around in my pocket.  No, it's not as thin as a RAZR or as small as a low-end sliderphone,...

    LG Lotus (Sprint) Unboxing

    Fierce! It's the unique new LG Lotus for Sprint - a square-shaped clamshell with a full QWERTY board inside. GPS, Sprint TV & Music, 2MP Camera, HTML Browser, Mobile IM and Email ... Noah checks out this fashion-forward feature phone.

    LG Lotus (Sprint) - Photos

    Hey, look what just came!  Thanks, Vanessa ;-)  Here are some photos of the black LG Lotus for Sprint.  The QWERTY board feels GREAT so far, as those bubbled chiclet-style keys make up for the relatively small size of the layout.  Sprint's new One Click UI is sort of cool and helpful and sort of overdone; I'll have to play with it more, but I hope it winds up being handier more often than it gets in the way.  And I'm...

    Announcements: Motorola on 10/13, Nokia on 10/14

    Phone Announcements

    Heads-up, phone phans!  Nokia's planned an announcemnet for next Monday, October 13th - and has a viral campaign to hype things up in the meantime - and Motorola's announcing something new and "Clear" (as per their PR campaign) on Tuesday, October 14th.  My bets?  I have no idea what Nokia's gonna drop, but I bet MOTO unveils the Kraze smartphone for Verizon Wireless.

    WiMax: HTC drops super shiny WiMax phone on Russia

    HTC T8290

    Might this be a peek into our near-term future?  I hope so.  You're looking at the HTC T8290, a shiny, sleek, badass looking piece of kit from HTC destined for Russia's Yota network. What's neat about this device, besides its obvious good looks, is that it packs both GSM and WiMax connectivity so you can get your voice and high-speed data on in style.  There's a 3.8", 800 x 480 hi-res display for all of that content you'll be...

    G2: HTC Touch HD not US-bound, but similar Android phone is

    More on next HTC Android phone

    First off, how cool is it that HTC dropped some significant cell phone news on the blogosphere via Twitter the other day?  I'm not saying Twitter itself is/isn't cool, but rather that it's neat to see a tech company innovate when it comes to communicating with the media.  Particularly so a tech company that uses the word "Innovation" in their marketing materials. Second, my post about the possibility of the HTC Touch HD coming to...

    Sidekick on steroids: First user review of T-Mobile G1 surfaces

    User review of G1

    An Android Community user - and T-Mobile Store Manager in Florida, apparently - who goes by kaziko has posted the first user review of T-Mobile's G1 Android phone.  The review - which takes the form of an ongoing forum thread - is summarized nicely in this post if you don't care to dive into the 11+ page thread. Of course, if you do there's text galore to tide you over until those G1s start shipping on the 22nd. So what's kaziko...

    Hands-Free: Driving with both earbuds in is NOT okay

    Driving with both earbuds

    For the past few weeks I've been considering writing a post about how California's law against driving while holding a cell phone has done pretty much nothing to curb the habit - at least in the Oakland/Berkeley area where I live and work.  Yesterday on my bike ride home from the office I figured out why I hadn't penned the post yet.  The law has done something, I think.  Sure, I still see at least three drivers with cellies in...
