I can say that the coverage has gotten a whole lot better.

Whittier to be exact and i have metro pcs for over 3 years now. Since you're not on a contract, everything must be paid for up front prior to using it.Д«oost Mobile iDEN does not offer any roaming. Whenever you're roaming, money is deducted from that balance in the account. You must give them a certain amount of money per month which is placed in your 'my metro' account.

Metro PCS offers roaming.not for free though. For example, CriKet doesn't roam on Verizon or Sprint, instead they use U.S. Verizon or Sprint designates a few areas that these carriers can use. Just because Verizon and Sprint are CDMA does not mean you will have access to their network wherever CriKet (or metro or whoever else) doesn't have coverage but Verizon/Sprint may. None of the other plans offer any roaming. For $60 per month they'll give you 200 per month. For example, on their $50 per month unlimited plan, you get 30 minutes of roaming. Their plans (some of them) give you a specific number of roaming minutes.

Enhanced devices include things with the ability to send/receive picture/video and sometimes with special TV capabilities.Д¬riKet does things weird. Phones they cannot flash include: Push to talk, Blackberry/PDAs, or 'enhanced devices'. They do charge you $20-$30 to do it and they can't flash every phone.BUT you still gotta pay the $20-$30 for them to even try. You can take another carriers phone and get it flashed. This is because it is more expensive for the carrier to pay another carrier to offer service for you. Most wireless carriers (including CriKet) will not activate a phone for someone who lives in a roaming area. Like in California, they offers coverage in Sacramento/surrounding areas and then has 'Premium Extended Coverage' throughout most of northern california. Usually, they will do the larger cities, but the size of the state and/or population of the general state makes no difference to them. They go by where they can get coverage and how fast they can get it. You can go here to enter your specific city: Cricket Wireless | Cell Phone Coverage MapsД¬riKet nor Metro PCS goes by where is populated the most. They have much of it marked as 'future coverage' while some of it says 'Premium Extended Coverage' which is roaming but you can use things such as text messaging. They do not offer service hardly at all in California (where I'm at).In New Jersey, the coverage is limited.

This is true however, the quality of service suffers greatly.Д¬riKet is one of the smaller unlimited carriers. If I can get my Blackberry Tour running (unlimited!) for half the price of Verizon, that's one heck of a deal! On Verizon I have paid an arm and leg for all this. Though I'm toying with these great deals! I want unlimited data, unlimited pics/flix messaging, and unlimited talk and text. If not, I'm probably just going to get a Blackberry on Verizon. Do any of the 3 offer free roaming? Because if it's CDMA with free roaming, we could get Verizon/Sprint service at half the price. Though Boost is iDen whereas I believe the first two are CDMA. Possibly with the addition of unlimited web access? Not sure. This plan is $20 more but seems to do the same exact thing as the first two. He also said that you can get your current phone (from another carrier) flashed to work on their service. A coworker of mine was considering the switch. Next is Metro PCS which offers a similar plan.

Today I heard of a company called Cricket which has an unlimited talk and text plan, contract free, plan for $30 a month! What is the downside to that? How is the coverage in NJ? NJ is one of the most heavily populated states so I would assume that there would be decent coverage? Wasn't sure where to put this, but I've now heard of three cell phone companies that are offering unlimited texting and calling for under or around $50.
