Has anyone used this service or know anything about it? Seems to be a good way to go.

They are a reseller of Sprint's services... Avoid like the plague! ..due to crappy coverage and network speeds.

Go with either AT&T or Verizon, the difference you'll pay is worth the coverage and services.

i'm wanting to not comit to a 2yr service plan. i kinda like the pay as you need every month.

can anyone direct me in a direction that has a reliable pay as you need service. keep in mind i'm not wanting a 2yr contract.

We have Verizon, 4 phones, including 2 I-phones, and unlimited data and text (and insurance on the I-phones). Verizon charges us $220/mo, give or take, and we get phone upgrades every couple of years. I don't see myself being without a cell going forward, so I have no issue with a 2 year plan.

At times there have been issues with Verizon but, by being an A-hole when needed, I have come out ahead every time. They make it right, and I have been a customer of their's since 1994, give or take. Loyalty gives you a better leg to stand on in a dispute rather than going with the lowest cost provider.

Tracfone has served me well enough for calling, texting, and occasional picture or two. Its real cheap if you dont use it a lot. Were you looking for data/web too?

j7, no not real use for data/web. i just need a phone option. i'm not a phone techy guy.

i have a Sprint LG rumuor phone, would really like to just get a cheap service to it, rather buy another phone.

any suggestions for a service?

Keep Sprint as a provider. And keep the LG Optimus if all you need is a phone and no "smart phone" needs--let the contract run out. If your LG Optimus fails, gets wet or breaks-go into Sprint and tell them you want to purchase a refurb--under no contract obligations. They will try like hell to get you a new phone with contract--just refuse.
