Helio doesn't look that bad
With a flat rate of $80 for everything messaging, data, and voice, and a sweet phone. It comes to a good deal. Now wut will take me in is yes a QWERTY keyboard, and having both Sprint and Verizon, major bonus. Just a question is there free roaming, so you can roam off of Alltel and Verizon all you want? This might be my next carrier untill im done with my cingular contract expires in Febuary 2007. Also, im looking for family plans, wanna know how those are going to shape out. Well looks like a good company, just need to grow and get more people and add more services.

By the time your contract with Cingy is up, I guarantee you the prices will be a lot higher, not to mention you wont get the same phone upgrade program they are going to roll out... 😎

Actually I'd bet your wrong. I don't know where you live but in areas like Atlanta and California there are cheep phone carriers like Metro PCS that do $50 unlimited text and mins. Now that a carrier like Helio comes along with better service and better phones and better additional services etc. we are finally going to see cell phone service really get affordable. They are making way too much money. Now that many people don't even use or have a house phone we need this kind of company.

they would need an agreement with Alltel for your phone to even work with Alltel towers

I beg to differ. I actually work for Alltel. It would be a much smarter move for Helio to grab ahold of our towers. A gigantic chunk of Verizon's towers are rented from Alltel. Also, before belittling a company, check them out. We have absolutely the most coverage of any provider. With us, you get plans that are $5-$10 cheaper than Verizon and Sprint and you usually get 50-100 more minutes a month. Not to mention the fact that Sprint runs digital only signals. There are still ALOT of analog signal spots in the US. I will admit that Helio has caught my attention, but they were to align themselves with ALLTEL, I predict they would be number 1 within 3-5 years.
