Did you notice he is talking about "Sprint" I actually tried them and the only place i could get a good signal was in my little town. Anywhere outside of that area and no more signal...

It's only been around for about a year and a half. It's cheap because it defaults to routing calls, texts, and data through wi-fi if it's available.

Sprint is only $10 per month on top of your normal wireless bill for unlimited data. It has been this way for at least 4 years now.
$25 is a bit rich.

The cheapest I can get an individual sprint plan in my area is $50. If you can get one for $15 I'm impressed.

I pay $60 a month for Metro PCS prepaid. I had to import my phone, as it was the cheapest one new off eBay I could find reviews for that was OTG compatible so I could plug a Micro-USB borelight into it, as well as Bluetooth 4.0 compatible for square. Haven't started working yet, so don't know if square works. Was going to use PayPal, signed up, but started getting messed with, and my email is constantly bombed by fake paypal spammail. I read if people put a stop on your money, after doing a job, they can keep it. Say it on YouTube, so said no. Went for square as it is unobtrusive.

Most later edition iPhones should work, iPhone 4s and up. If your buying a phone online, like eBay, look up its bandwidth frequencies and phonecard info listed, double check it, triple check it, THEN once that seems reasonably consistent and you see people in your country discussing bandwidths, head over to your phone company's website and check it out. My phone works on everything by 2g, I get 3 & 4g fine. I had to explain it to the Metro PCS guy how it works, he never saw my phone before, no clue what I was saying in regards to bandwidths.

They typically sell older model iPhones too if you just ask, works on the T-Mobile network. Only places I can't get coverage is in obvious deadspots backside of a hillside in West Virginia well out of line of sight of any tower. I know a handyman who claims to get service on his truck with a cell booster.

You can look online for coverage maps. Not the best for those hidden valleys, but highly accurate in more populated areas. The $60 prepaid plan gives me free roaming. Seriously, check not just the bandwidth but also the card type too.

Map of companies offering bandwidth in the US, so you can see in advance. Good idea what sort of refeption., if any.

Its 'unlimited', but threatens to throttle you after 28 GB data. I read a lot, and my only internet it through my phone, so bust through that limit constantly, after downloading movies, or using it as a hotspot (only 8 BG for that though). Even after 28 gigabytes, 95% it won't throttle me, can still usually stream.

I figure once I start pulling in the locksmithing big bucks and feel more secure, will just drop the MetroPCS prepaid and use their T-Mobile contract, paid in full. Hear you can download like 28 Terabites or something similarly absurd on the high end version. I just can't stand contracts, and yet got tired of the 10GB plans for $50+ bucks. I feel pretty good with this, no bills hanging over my head.

Thanks for posting your update, but please note it's a 3 year old dead thread and normally forum communities frown upon raising the dead, there's even a name for it "necromancing an old thread". https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/thread_necromancy If a thread is that old, feel free to start a new one, if its' been a year or so from the last reply, and your reply answers an unanswered question or adds something useful, then it's perfectly fine to post, but 2, 3, 4, or 5 year old threads often have members who may not be here any more and replying to them is not useful.

Thanks

Adding extra charges to offset credit card fees is illegal in some states, I'd check it out before you bump up the price.

Its like that here in denmark. Online shops may add the surcharge to your bill, but brick and mortar stores may not for danish issued cards. Personally I just give a flat 3% cash discount instead . But I use iZettle since SquareUp hadn't been around in Denmark/Europe until recently. So they missed out on getting me as a customer.
