I was kinda pleased by the way this company explains its business model. However Its not really a savings unless you virtually dont use your phone. if you use large amounts of data no voice and no text this service plan would suck. This is mainly for customers who use very little talk, text, and data.

I like the pay for what you use model they have going on now though very well said.

Actually, I DO use zero text messages, 200-300 minutes a month and do lots of web-browsing; and I have only once paid more than $35/month.

The caveat is that I never do video or audio streaming unless I'm connected to a WiFi hotspot. For my lifestyle, that's worked out fine since I have cheap DSL...

Even when I did use WiFi I easily used more than 2GB per month. I use on average at least 15GB now just pure streaming music, some video, torrent downloads, Google Now, and all those apps that use lots of data. It adds up. I actually dont have another source of internet because I use the data on my phone since I am getting at least 25mbps I decided to cancel time warner saving me an additional $80 a month and only have No Contract Tmobile service for just $70 with unlimited data its pretty nice. I am a data power user I communicate with friends in person or by email, aim, or social network.

I have considered Sprint however their No Contract service doesnt offer hot spot so I decided to stick with Tmo. Its very good out here where I live....

Number 1: You can easily root the sprint phone to give you hotspot.

Number 2: T-mobile's hotspot has a limited amount of data or they throttle your speeds when you get to a certain amount of data.
