I use Boost. I am not really happy with their phone support either, which is also in India, but the store is convenient so the time my phone fell off the web I took it over there and made *them* call in. It did get fixed, though, I will say, nobody told me to take a computer literacy class, and the bill is always the agreed-upon flat rate.
I had tried taking the battery out, but no joy. Pretty sure I did it myself though, trying to do something with the developer site after I went to Blackberry World. The only downside is that a lot of times they don't always have the newest and shiniest phones. Like six months old. Shrug. Oh and since you aren't signing up for whatever T-Mobile feels like holding your credit hostage for you do have to buy the phone, but hey if you're already doing a hundred for a deposit why not give that a pass and put two hundred into a nice Android? I wish I had an Android, lol... On Thu, May 17, 2012 at 5:12 AM, LRS Scout <lrssc...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Wow, that's terrible. > > Well this would at least be a line just for me.
