    Virgin's service sucks and I haven't heard much better for att. Verizon has decent coverage, a 5gb limit, but only .05 cents per mb overage fee. They also tell you when you get close to the limit and it resets to 0 every 30 days.

    When Virgin came out with the $40 unlimited plan last week, their service was pretty bad, they sold more cards than they planned on I guess. From others I've talked to in other forums that purchased it, it's running a lot better now. They use Sprint's network, which doesn't have Verizon's 3g coverage, so check their coverage map to see if it's right for you.

    thanks guys i guess i'll have to look at all the maps i had T-MOBILE and they suck could not got no service unless i was at the mall wich is 2 blocks away from my house and there coverage map said there was service there so even maps can be deceiving. they also said they would not charge the termination fee but they did so now it's going through court id'e never use T-MOBILE again for anything. i have never had any probs with att they always treated me like gold but a phone and an air card are two different things also. does verizon offer prepay wireless yet.

    been using virgin mobile air card for 6 months and I do the 40 dollar plan and am using it now and it has been pretty good thus far and if you go over the 5 gigs they cut your speed down but never off
