| Screw American wireless The fact that none of the second tier carriers in my area want to allow me to bring my own device is a real problem.
Being forced to use the equivalent of several year old technology (the best phone I've seen for a boost/virgin/metropcs/whatever carrier was still not as good as an almost two year old HTC Evo 4g) because these companies will only allow their own phones on their network instead of provisioning any phone a customer brings is crap.
I'd much rather pay full price for a bleeding edge android phone and use it on a ~$30/month carrier since I hardly use any voice minutes, but I don't know of any carriers in my area that can help me make it happen. |

T-Mobile just introduced $30 prepaid plan, you get 100 minutes and unlimited text data. Should be BYOD as well. I'm sure T-Mobile has good coverage in FL, so your wish is actually possible.
Or if you want unlimited minutes SimpleMobile (who is a T-Mobile reseller) has BYOD and unlimited everything for $40 a month, although as with any MVNO you do not have roaming.
Say what you want, but last couple of years have been a blessing for prepaid/MVNO crowd like me. |

The sprint HTC EVO can work on Boost, minus the 4G part. But if you get a Clearwire 4G account (let's say for your home internet service) the EVO can be made to work on Clearwire thus giving you 4G.
Google it, but this solution takes a lot of work to hack the phone, and with questionable reliability for minimal dollar saved. And not to mention some gray area regarding phone hacking.... |

Yes thats it. There was a news article on DSLR about it as well.
$30 100 minutes, Unlimited Text, and 5GB high speed data.
$0.10/min after 100 mins |
