| trader4@optonline.net: Apr 18 07:14AM -0700 If anyone is looking for excellent low cost phone service, I recommend Mintsim, which is a MVNO on the Tmobile network. How well it might work for you of course depends on the Tmobile coverage in your expected areas of use. For me it's working fantastic. They offer three plans, all have unlimited voice and text: 2 MB 4g data $15/mth 5 MB $20 10 MB $25 When you hit the limit the data rate slows, but continues unlimited. The one catch is that those rates are when you pay for a year in advance. Rates are higher if you choose to buy 3 or 6 months of service. They have an introductory deal where you can get 3 months of service as a new customer at the above rates. I believe they still have a deal on Amazon where for $5 you can get a trial kit. They give you two sims. The first you can use for 100 mins of voice, 100 texts, 100MB of data to try it out. If you decide to sign up, you use the second sim and they activate it. I think you can also apply the $5 towards any of the regular plans at that time. It's worked great for me. I'm getting 70 Mbits download speed at home here in NJ, I've seen 170 Mbits at spots I've been in. A friend has it in CA and got 200 Mbits! |

I don't think you can do ANYTHING with 2 Mbits. -- Cheers, Bev "If you're crazy, you better find a way to make money off it. Otherwise they will lock you up" -- Hunter S. Thompson |

I don't think you can do ANYTHING with 2 Mbits. 2 MB is $.10 of data on my PagePlus prepaid plan. An extra $10 for 8MB does seem a little steep. |

Are we sure that the OP quoted data in megabits or megabytes? Some people are really sloppy about B/b. Freedompop gives you 200MBytes free every month after buying either the $1 SIM or the $20 hotspot. They have a newer hotspot, which might cost more, but if you can get by with truly minimal usage AND are willing to take the trouble to make sure you DON'T sign up for a monthly plan AND are happy with their coverage, it's perfect. -- Cheers, Bev Some mornings it's just not worth chewing through the straps. |
