anyone use Ting?

Sprint network but cost looks good. Especially for me who uses WIFI for most of my data use.

What do you all think?

A guy I work with uses it and has been happy with it so far. He really doesn't travel much so a more limited network is no biggy for him.

Me there are places I go the only provider that covers the areas is Verizon. Then there are other places that no one covers short of a sat phone.

I'll be switching by the end of the month. We have paid-for Sprint phones, and running our usage through their calculator shows almost $100 less a month for same usage.

I hate the Sprint network, but at that cheap, i can deal with it.

I have a friend that has been on it for a year and likes it. It has all the E36 M3iness of Sprint but when your bill is $17 a month you get over it.

I hadn't heard about this until just now. Now I'm interested.

This is what i am thinking... I think I would have my wife on VZW and I would try Ting to save $$$$. I use my phone less than her and usually if we are out of the city, we are together.

Oh... so we're not talking about the delicious Jamaican grapefruit soda...

My Mom, BIL, girlfriend, aunt, co-worker+ his wife, and probably other people I'm forgetting are on ting and they are quite happy with it. I would be on it if my service wasn't paid for by work.

I love the idea- paying for what you actually use is the most libertarian ideal- really like it. I have T-mobile currently and wonder if the sprint network is any worse than T-mob. Thoughts? If so, I'm willing to go through the pain to switch out our phones.

Ive heard sprint isn't as good as t-mobile, but these anecdotes are region specific.
