said by Camelot One :They are. But oddly enough, while my Virgin Mobile (also rides on sprint) gets great reception, often better than sprint phones themselves, the Helio was horrible. And it's not just one particular VM phone that I've had good luck with, every single one of them has worked in areas people's sprint phones can get a signal in. Perhaps they chose low quality radios for their phones to sell them so cheaply. |

said by Camelot One :Helio and Cricket are the two I've seen mentioned as already having unlimited plans. I've tried both, and returned both. Helio was a little better than cricket, but the cripled Bluetooth the "top" Ocean phone was enough to really piss me off. Cricket is an absolute joke and not even worth mentioning.
I thought Helio was just an MVNO riding atop Sprint's EVDO network? |
