Ting is a Sprint MVNO, so I wonder how coverage compares to say a Tmobile or Verizon mvno in the target areas.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">Hans of Guardian <<a href="mailto:hans@guardianproject.info" target="_blank">hans@guardianproject.info</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">

Hey Harlo,<br>
<br>
I was just looking at the mobile provider Ting again, and I saw they now have a Bring-Your-On-Device plan, with monthly fees starting at $6/month, and the rest based on usage with good rates:<br>

They also have the LG Optimus S, which is pretty nice for a cheap phone, and its currently $53:<br>
