Has anyone heard of, or better yet, tried this new cell phone company? They apparently donate 8% of each customers monthly payments to the charity of the customer's choice (within the listed charities), and provide the "everything for one price" no contract plans.

Is 250mb a small amount of data?

On a smartphone, yes. I have a no-contract plan and use that up within the first 10 days. Supposedly the speed then switches from 4G to 3G. Since we don't have any 3G towers around here, they send me a little love text I can purchase more 4G data, which I don't, and everything stays 4G to the end. MetroPCS, btw. $30 a month for unlimited everything. That was a promotion last year...now I think it's $40 for new accounts.

As to the company mentioned: I don't know them. If it's not a particularly good deal overall, you can always use one of the major no-contract companies and donate the extra money to your favorite cause.

I had MetroPCS in Florida and loved it. It isn't available where I am yet. Their cost is comparable to all the other no contract plans in the area. I'm on Virgin Mobile and I'm happy with it, but always looking out to find someone who can offer more for less.

What I had actually been searching for was mobile broadband. The cable, internet and phone package is too expensive, so I was looking into those wifi hotsports (or Verizon calls them jet packs, and Virgin Mobile calls it "Broadband to Go"). It seems that many of them don't work in my area, which sucks!

I don't know anything about them either, lol. So if anyone would like to tell me about them too, that would be great.
