Updated Cricket coverage vs.Straight Talk coverage?

This is interesting. I didn't know that ST couldn't do 3-way calling, but then again I haven't tried it for the reason I guess I don't need it. But I might consider switching if Cricket actually had a Full QWERTY keyboard phone.
And the Cricket MSGM8 doesn't count.

Hi ydkjman,

Great news, later this year Cricket will be launching two smartphones, Blackberry and Android device, for a even better phone selection. Release dates not yet announced. More details can be found at www.mycricket.com/smartphones.

Best,

Thanks Cricket_Ryan I did go put in my email address to let me know when they become available. I will be interested in seeing the price of the phones. Namely the sanyo zio by kyocera but if the current prices on the phones for as basic as they are indicate any thing, I'm sure these two new ones are going to be a bit pricey.

well i have to agree with the other person straight talk is up there, 2 new smart phones to boot, i had cricket for 9 years, being a single parent and trying to save a buck or so i thought and in the end with cricket i was paying 69.?? and couldnt use my phone at all if i had to leave town, there was even the roaming minites on my fone, and it was triband but still not good trying to make calls, now i pay 32.20 a month and have a better phone with GREAT service,cricket has that 15.00 to reconnect, i can forget to buy my card for straighttalk, NO CHARGE! up and going as soon as i add my new pin.i dont loose my nuraber, its just grate, but let me tell you something, if you dont *228 your phone every now and then, your sure to have problems, but this only works with cdma cell phones not gsm, gsm phones have to be turned off and back on, nite to all. l
