CricKet wireless
Does anyone use CricKet? They have a new Android phone (running Android 2.1), the Huawei Ascend, for $129. The Android unlimited talk/text/data plan is $55/month. And it all includes national roaming (I think on Verizon).
This seems like a phenomenal deal. What's CricKet's native coverage like in places it has coverage? Does anyone use them?
A buddy of mine is their director of marketing, so he's very proud of this - but I'd like unbiased opinions too.
edit: It turns out the nationwide roaming is $5 per 30 minute bucket, up to 150 minutes per month. If you stick around a Cricket service area or don't travel much, this is still a great deal.
