First off thank you for the honest and fair reply. I am not a hot head as Mr. Bellingham who needs an enema might suggest.. I will just put him on ignore for now until he pulls his head out (IMO).

As for you, I appreciate your candor and reply.. Just an FYI, I as a Corp 10 year DM and TRAINER for Tmobile in Bellevue WA corp office know the rules backwards and forwards and know the plans. From our days of Family Favs , To Ever More fiasco and to the new shared and prepaid (both pay as you go and monthly) are versed in every aspect. Also as a trainer and DM for Tmobile I ran over 20 stores with over 1000 Csr's and managers. I know the game and know it well. We have to stay up on competion and know the others. TracPhone has the most subscribers based on its reach to those who are unemployed, bad credit and or the "Name Value". Trac phone uses the last tiers on the towers as well as smart talk and others and are last choice to be allowed on for service. This is usually not an issue but can be! In fact they are not even allowed on our towers if the capacity of contract customers are reached or limits set... When it works it works great. But you are not a top tier customer like a contract customer. That is fact! Some areas of the USA are terrible. Some the use of prepaid is seemless.

Tmobile has in my eye's the BEST prepaid monthly plans out there. Only walmarts plan (on Tmobile) is similiar to the dollar but still if you look at it closely the Tmobile plan is better. However I am not trying to bring customers to Tmobile. Just giving them the facts as I know them. Not saying I am perfect as you the user of prepaid seem to know the shortcuts and if that works for you great!

Sprints prepaid or should I say Boost and Virgin are based on Sprints towers. Until recently Boost used the old Nextal towers. Both Boost and virgin are pathetic yet have the by far best rates going for customers. Its only there 3g EVO and is awful. Never would advise a customer to use them. Verizon we have some very fair plans for prepaid. however we too do not give prepaid full use of all towers and you are put on low priority. Not a problem here in PNW but is in other areas. Price is good however you have harder time buying phones. Of course it is becoming harder at Tmobile as they are now starting to be more aggresive at blacklisting IMEI and lots of people are buying dead phones on Ebay and Craigslist.(but thats for another post)

So If I offended you and your choice of data plan or prepaid I am sorry. However 200 minutes to most is awful. I would push the unlimited with 5g for the 70 bucks as the best Prepaid monthly plan for service and price going. Plus you can not put insurance on your Tmobile prepaid phone and soon the prepaid folks will be able to purchase NEW androids for about half of what they have to pay now. That is rolling out soon!

Your a good person for sticking up for your thread and people. I am not an enemy and am friends to many here! I just will not stand by while Mr. Bellingham trys to be mr know it all. (he does know alot by reading his posts, but does not know everything) trys to push his wieght around. I am not the kind of person that will stand by and take it. So I will do the bigger thing and just ignore him.

Have a great day!

Off to sell some VERIZON SHARED PLANS!
