    cricket is excellent for the service areas, but the problem with cricket is, you have to be in a service area. that's basically just in and around the larger US cities, elsewhere it wont be available.

    I called Millenicom, they are talking about providing voice sometime durin '09 using VOIP over cell phones for $39.99 unlimited; that seems like a good idea. I wonder why the big guys haven't thought of that?

    lol, I almost tried to kill it the first time I saw it too.

    http://www.acun.com/

    Millenicom was a reseller for Sprint. They used the Sprint network,but switched to Verizon towers. Their offer was like $60 a month, no contract when I checked them out. They claim there is no cap, but I would be very specific if I were to contact them regarding service.


    Someone else mentioned the Slingshot, which may be right up your alley. I personally use Sprint, and I don't really mind contracts.

    I think Slingshot is the best way....no contract same service as sprint (uses sprints towers). This way we don't have to worry about US address etc.

    Well, unless you watch youtube videos pretty much constantly and stream things all the time, 5gb is usually plenty. I do a lot online, and right now my usage for the billing cycle is 1.6GB. The cycle ends in 6 days. I play WoW dual logging 2 accounts, watch videos on occasion, surf the net, crawl facebook way too much, work on multiple websites with Dreamweaver, pretty much everything I need to do. What I do is I bank all the links of large files I want to download or whatever, and I just download them when I'm at home, but most of the time I don't have to worry about it. If you're into bit torrent, you'll be hard pressed to find an uncapped service out there. Millenicom will probably be your only option, pretty much all of the providers have a 5gb limit if you read the fine print. Even Sprint claims theirs is unlimited, but if you click on the usage details and read through that section it plainly says that there is a 5GB limit. What they do is check your usage 3 months running and if you hit the 5gb cap twice in the 3 months they are supposed to call and basically warn you, then they will bill you the next time you do it.

    Yeah i save my downloads for when i am home. My tv shows, series and such i download off torrent. I would never download them on the road. #### i just downloaded 12 gigs off torrent in the last 24 hours. LOL :biggrin_255:

    I think i will go Slingshot. Atleast if i don't like i can easily stop using it.

    Thx for the info! :biggrin_2551::biggrin_255:

    Yeah I'm going for Slingshot same price as all the others no contract though and if I go past the 30 days I have 60 days to renew with no reconnect fee after 60 days its 15.00 extra (just to reconnect) on top of your 59.99. I like this option if I don't use it for 2 or 3 weeks and run past the 30 days I'm not commited to paying the 59.00 till I use it again. I called Slingshot today and this was confirmed. Or if I don't use it again for 6 months so be it 15.00 is ok to reconnect.
