Hello, everyone! I'm Lia, nice to meet you!

I joined the site because I was browsing as a guest and I saw that there's alot of helpful information. I was hoping some of you can help me in making a decision. I currently have a Blackberry Bold with T-Mobile (Even More Plus plan - no contract - 500 mins so I pay $60 month + $20 something for the phone which comes out at around $90 something with fees, etc) which hasn't given me any problems until now ("SOS" reception near my house, the Internet super slow at times, while I'm talking on the phone calls "fail" or they come in and out, and more stuff...I don't know what's going on!). I started with them December of last year, but I'm moving to the North-Eastern Pennsylvania region and I'm looking to switch service to something cheaper and hopefully, better. I looked into switching to metroPCS since I've been hearing good things about them now, but they have no coverage whatsoever where I'm going to be.

I looked into boostmobile and I've been reading reviews, forums, etc about them and their coverage but I'm still unsure. If I were to switch from T-mobile to boost I wouldn't have to pay an early termination fee b/c I signed up for the contract that doesn't have one, but I would still have to keep paying for the phone to T-mobile...which I still owe $300 something dollars. I wouldn't mind paying off the phone as long as I'm pretty positive that I would be getting good service with boost. I know they work with the Sprint network and I looked at their coverage maps and locations and they do have alot of coverage where I'm going to be, so that's good. I just want to be sure about their reliability overall. Or should I just stay with T-mobile for now until I pay the phone?

Any answers would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
