Pros: Family plan, T-Mobile to T-Mobile plan Cons: No loyalty.
Older model cell phone vs newer model cell phone.
My husband and I have been long standing customers with Powertel since 1999 and stood by when they became Voicestream and then T-Mobile. We have been loyal for 6 years and have 4 phones on the family plan and have reccomended several of our freinds to ...
Pros: great prices on plans & phones, 1st incoming min FREE, flexible plan switching Cons: no sharing of min between phones, no insurance for lost/stolen phones, quality

Pros: First Minute Free, No contract Cons: Your minutes are gone before you know it and then your bill begins to grow!

Pros: Great plans, lots of features on your phone, cheaper than landline! Cons: Prepaid minutes do expire, most plans only work if you dial from within local area
I've been a happy Powertel customer for several months. I started with their prepaid plan and then switched this month when they offered an incredible flat-rate deal (more about that later).
Pros: 3600 minutes a month for $40? Free long distance? Wahoo! Cons: Somewhat limited area
I've been a Powertel user since 1997, when they offered service in the Atlanta area. I started off at their $40 for 400 minutes rate, wanting to have a cell phone for use if my wife (who was pregnant at the time) needed me in a hurry or if my car broke...
Pros: good local coverage, first minute free, no contract Cons: roaming could be cheaper
I've been a Powertel subscriber for about two years now and I have never considered switching providers. They deliver what they promise and that's value. Until someone beats that, I'm staying put.
