Cricket in Dallas Texas

No. That is Metro land isn't it? Cricket and Metro offer nearly identical service plans and stuff. They really don't like to go into the same area's.
 
maybe I should change to metro? is that anygood.

I have a family plan with cingular and have tons of rollover 6300 minutes saved up. So, it really does not do anygood if I dont use them. My husband travels and he has his phone and we talk free on the cingular plan.

We have to pay for text messages and pics. I do text once in a while.

any suggestions on new service here in Dallas texas area? We have been paying and not on contract anymore.
 
if you're happy with cingular i wouldn't change. only change providers if something about them doesn't make you happy.

think about it like a job, there is always a negative to everything. the grass isn't always greener.

you obviously don't use the minutes on cingular, and they have plans you can get for like 39.99 so why not just lower your plan?
 
I would have to agree. If your husband travels a lot and you depend on the M2M to stay in touch, neither Cricket nor metroPCS would probably work for you. What exactly is the problem you're having with AT&T? Is it just the Rollover Minutes? That's really not a bad thing, they can always come in handy in an emergency.
 
I wouldn't rule cricket in Dallas out necessarialy. As they've recently been expanding in there Texas markets. (Specifically Del Rio and Eagle Pass). I wouldn't go as far as to say "they will come there in x nuraber of months" but i do expect to see them in Dallas sometime in the next year or two. I don't know if they would be using CDMA or the new AWS Spectrum but i don't know much about that yet so i won't bring that up so i don't get everyone including the original poster confused.
 
no. metro being there pretty much rules out cricket going in. to my knowledge the only area in the country that has both is modesto, ca... and even then it's more of an overlap with metro going north from modesto while cricket's coverage extenRAB south into the central valley.
 
While you are correct that Leap Wireless won the AWS E-block license for the Central region in FCC auction 66, it is rather unlikely that they will use it to build their own network and offer service in Dallas anytime soon. As has been said before, Dallas is metroPCS territory and from a marketing and financial perspective it makes little sense to construct a duplicate infrastructure and then compete with metroPCS over the same customers, as they essentially offer the same product and cater to the same market segment. You'd be basically getting only half the return on your investment versus building out a market where metroPCS is not present.
 
True, but metro already acquired the PCS E-block license for the Dallas BTA from Cingular back in May of 2005 (and launched service there in March of 2006), so the AWS C-block acquired in FCC auction 66 is merely an overlay for future capacity enhancements.
