well the only reason I have boost is because sometimes I can call DR for free... with a code....
But Im tired of paying for 2 phones... so I may drop the boost..

But I will say, I get better service with my Boost over my AT&T ser

I'm sorry.

Don't be. Every Carrier falls short in one way or another EVERY SUBSCRIBER on EVERY NETWORK has customers with Horror Stories.

It's case by case, if your provider work for you then roll wid it.

I've always had Verizon, never had any problems. It does seem to be a little higher priced than similar plans, though. My wife had metro and T-mobile and neither had anywear near as good as service or signal as Verizon does. I don't know anything about At+t or Sprint.

Do it! I will never... NEVER own another phone. Iphone's are the shit. Be sure to get the 3GS. It's better in every aspect. Twice as much RAM, faster processor, better graphic chipset, and a faster modem. The battery lasts longer in my opinion, too.

I rock AT&T proudly. Incredible customer service. I have a family plan with 4 phones active and havent had a service issue or problem with my blackberry, iphone, samsung (something) and BB pearl. Plus they give me 23% off my bill for who I work with.

AT&T iphone ftmfgdw. I have had sprint/tmobile/verizon/ and currently have an iPhone on AT&T. And the service is awesome. I get very few dropped calls. Good call quality and love my phone. And I have noticed a big increase in the 3g area as well. Oh and I speed tested my iphone the other day and got 2 mb download. Whoot!



All of this posted via my iPhone btw :p

Verizon, but at the end of this contract I may switch to AT&T. I like Verizon because of the better service, but AT&T is definitely getting better in my area. I also like the iPhone better than the BB.

MagicJack's next act: disappearing cell phone fees
By PETER SVENSSON, AP Technology Writer - Fri Jan 8, 2010 2:29PM EST


LAS VEGAS - The company behind the magicJack, the cheap Internet phone gadget that's been heavily promoted on TV, has made a new version of the device that allows free calls from cell phones in the home, in a fashion that's sure to draw protest from cellular carriers.

The new magicJack uses, without permission, radio frequencies for which cellular carriers have paid billions of dollars for exclusive licenses.

YMax Corp., which is based in Palm Beach, Fla., said this week at the International Consumers Electronics Show that it plans to start selling the device in about four months for $40, the same price as the original magicJack. As before, it will provide free calls to the U.S. and Canada for one year.

The device is, in essence, a very small cellular tower for the home.

The size of a deck of cards, it plugs into a PC, which needs a broadband Internet connection. The device then detects when a compatible cell phone comes within 8 feet, and places a call to it. The user enters a short code on the phone. The phone is then linked to the magicJack, and as long as it's within range (YMax said it will cover a 3,000-square-foot home) magicJack routes the call itself, over the Internet, rather than going through the carrier's cellular tower. No minutes are subtracted from the user's account with the carrier. Any extra fees for international calls are subtracted from the user's account with magicJack, not the carrier.

According to YMax CEO Dan Borislow, the device will connect to any phone that uses the GSM standard, which in the U.S. includes phones from AT&T Inc. and T-Mobile USA. At a demonstration at CES, a visitor's phone with a T-Mobile account successfully placed and received calls through the magicJack. Most phones from Verizon Wireless and Sprint Nextel Corp. won't connect to the device.

Borislow said the device is legal because wireless spectrum licenses don't extend into the home.

AT&T, T-Mobile and the Federal Communications Commission had no immediate comment on whether they believe the device is legal, but said they were looking into the issue. CTIA — The Wireless Association, a trade group, said it was declining comment for now. None of them had heard of YMax's plans.

Borislow said YMax has sold 5 million magicJacks for landline phones in the last two years, and that roughly 3 million are in active use. That would give YMax a bigger customer base than Internet phone pioneer Vonage Holdings Corp., which has been selling service for $25 per month for the better part of a decade. Privately held YMax had revenue of $110 million last year, it says.

U.S. carriers have been selling and experimenting with devices that act similarly to the wireless magicJack. They're called "femtocells." Like the magicJack, they use the carrier's licensed spectrum to connect to a phone, then route the calls over a home broadband connection. They improve coverage inside the home and offload capacity from the carrier's towers.

But femtocells are complex products, because they're designed to mesh with the carrier's external network. They cost the carriers more than $200, though some sell them cheaper, recouping the cost through added service fees. YMax's magicJack is a much smaller, simpler design.

Glad it works out for you, I have 3 friends that have the total opposite to say about their service. 1 plans to switch back to sprint within the year.


Wow ATT and Verizon are Tied..... Wait.... currently only 3 metro users.... I call BS hahaha. I know people arent too proud of their metros sometimes but it's all good, it's just a phone right? lol

You know what's sad? I ALMOST had a Droid for Christmas....but the person that was getting my present overheard me gripe about the touchscreens and apps....so that is how I ended up with the EnV3.

I had a Metro...was the Samsung Messager. Best damn texting phone ever!

Hooray for number porting!
