T-Mobile here, had them forever and have had nothing but great service from them. I didn't set it up and don't pay it but my wife is the ultimate shop-around type person so I bet it was the best deal around. Currently we have 5 lines, there is no charge when calling other T-Mobile phones, no charge for 5 additional people that you keep as favs. and unlimited text. I don't know how many minutes we get but we have never gone over and I use mine a lot and so does my wife, the kids are big into texting so no issues there. Everytime I turn around they are giving us a new phone for free and I'm not talking about bottom of the line junk. My wife and I have slides with full keyboards from Samsung, Jaz has a touch screen and the lastest one we just got Rocks For Brains has (he always gets the new ones) is the lastest greatest one out (don't know which one) and we have never paid a dime for one of them or any of the previous phones. I think we are paying a little over $100.00 but I can find out. Sometimes it pays to stay loyal to a cell phone co. We've had others and finally settled on T-Mobil they seem to appreciate their customers the stick with them.
