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 <hans@guardianproject.info> 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 />

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