I've been seeing enticing ads for Cricket and Boost Mobile. Anyone here have either service? What do you think about it?

My dad had cricket for about a week and got rid of it. They suck the phone dosnt have coverage half the time, and there customer service is horrible. I suggest you stick with At&t,Tmobile,Sprint ect.

Both Cricket and Boost run on the Sprint/Nexel network. Boost is a subsidiary and Cricket buys minutes. Their weakness my be in the phones.

They run off of the Sprint network/towers, so anyone should be fine with coverage. They are having REALLY good deals with their unlimited talk/text/web plans (like $50). Can't beat that with AT&T and T-Mobile!!!
