Id suggest 86-ing them and go to Straighttalk. They're an AT&T MVNO and for $55 you get unlimited service and data.

- gergles 14y agoIt's $45, but you only get 2GB of data. They advertise 'unlimited' but if you go even a byte over 2 GB they harass you with automated phone calls and then 'throttle' you (down to less than 1 Kb/s, so basically disable your data access, as everything times out). The California Department of Consumer Affairs doesn't seem to care about their abuse of the term 'unlimited', but we should here.

- knite 14y agoThis differs from reports on HowardForums, which state that only repeated overages into the ~2.5 GB range will result in throttling. This is still an abuse of the term 'unlimited', but less bad than a brick wall at 2 GB.
- 18pfsmt 14y agoJust to be clear. I also use StraightTalk, but here in Colorado, they are an MVNO for Verizon. Carlos Slim's organization has been able to cut MVNO deals with all 3 large US carriers I believe, and it's easy to understand the leverage they have (i.e. want your customers to be able to roam in Mexico?). I've thought about getting a smartphone and fooling the network to believe I have a feature phone, but I have abstained and simply use an iPod Touch (w/ SIP client) + a feature phone. It simply seems like too much effort for me right now.
