Virgin Mobile, Boost Mobile, or Tracfone?

Personally I like to use Vodafone before switching from Optus. If I really need to choose from those three options. I chose Virgin as it is more wellknown among my society.
PS: Why we never pool about Optus and Vodafone?

Even if they are alittle over-pricey, they have great phones, pretty good customer service and two way chirp! BTW, whats the CON w/ only using Sprint towers!?!?! Sprint is nationwide, and one of the largest providers in the country.

You are exactly right! I had a Virgin mobile plan and I could go anywhere and use my phone! I don't know of anywhere I could not get a signal. Now I have switched to Suncom, the worst company in history!, & low and behold I gotta find away to end my 3 accounts w/o payin $200 for each account for ending the contract! I wish I had kept Virgin Mobile

I chose Boost as that's the only one (I use TMo2Go as well) listed that I use. I'd rank it under TMo2Go mainly because of cust. serv. and the mandatory 3 month re-up. Telenav is a boon on that phone and that is the main reason I will continue to use Boost.

boost..just cause of those crazy commercials

I'm all about Boost! I got Boost and T-Mobile.

I like virgin mobile the best! Boost mobile doesnt have any cool phones at all and they"re so expensive! Plus its like 20c per minute

I use tracfone and have for quite a few yrs. They do have a great service area. But their customer service is not the best. I ordered another phone Dec 22. Transfered the minutes from previous to new phone. After hanging up couldnt make a call. Unregistered SIM message. Called back to tracphone. They had to send me another Sim card. Which I received yesterday. Inserted and turnon phone . Still had to activate. CSR they sent you the wrong sim card can not activate for your area. Now waiting another day or 2 for another card. The CSR is the worst. If and when I get the phone activated and run out of minutes. May change service. Not sure to whom but wouldnt be net10 since they run by the same company.

Virgin Mobile has good coverage, most reasonable prices, opportunities to earn free minutes such as this latest one below:

Activate a new Virgin Mobile account/phone, enter PeuDQocO in the kickback space, at online activation only, and we both will receive 60 free bonus minutes when you add at least $20 to your account. The code does not expire. Thank you.

update. Did receive the sim card and now works fine. The only thing I wished I could get true web browsing.Considering getting a phone just for that. Maybe Virgin Mobile .

Of those three I'd have to say Tracfone, but I actually have a Net 10 Phone. The reason is that I make a lot of calls and travel a lot. Net 10 has the best rate of call minutes and the best coverage across America and Net 10 doesn't charge more for roming

Now that the PayGo rates for Boost are 10cents/min I have to toss my hat in for Boost again. Added with the fact that you can re-up with as little as $10 every three months it's a good bargain.

Their $1/day chat plans are great as well. Free calls after 9pm+free weekends and m2m (Boost, Sprint and Nextel) is a hard bargain to beat. Granted the DC is still $1 per day and the web+txt access is extra, but for a voice only plan I find that hard to beat for prepaid.

Anyone besides BoostMobile: I had problems, please read:

I'll quote their moderator:"Boost doesn't work for you? too bad, go to another provider". Don't waste your money with these guys. This is the kind of response you can expect when you complain about their inadequate service.

You've been warned. After me, the deluge.
