i dont see how it would benefit virgin. why the extra burden? like when sprint bought nextel. this would be that again. except they at least have compatible tech.

virgin targets teens with prepaid. helio targets koreans and unlimited users with postpaid. i dont get the match?]]>May 8th 2008 6:45PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/05/08/virgin-mobile-looking-to-merge-with-helio/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/05/08/virgin-mobile-looking-to-merge-with-helio/May 9th 2008 1:25AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/05/08/virgin-mobile-looking-to-merge-with-helio/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/05/08/virgin-mobile-looking-to-merge-with-helio/Best phones? I've never found any of Helio's phones appealing although they had some pretty cool apps.

Helio's customer service group has to be among the worst in the industry. ]]>May 9th 2008 2:35AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/05/08/virgin-mobile-looking-to-merge-with-helio/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/05/08/virgin-mobile-looking-to-merge-with-helio/May 8th 2008 6:24PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/05/08/virgin-mobile-looking-to-merge-with-helio/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/05/08/virgin-mobile-looking-to-merge-with-helio/May 8th 2008 7:29PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/05/08/virgin-mobile-looking-to-merge-with-helio/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/05/08/virgin-mobile-looking-to-merge-with-helio/
It ROAMS VOICE ONLY on Verizon - if there is NO Sprint AT ALL.
There is NO data on Verizon.

As for Alltel and US Cellular - Ive heard mixed reviews, some say it HAS data some say it does not.

But yes, Helio is a Sprint Network MVNO]]>May 9th 2008 12:39PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/05/08/virgin-mobile-looking-to-merge-with-helio/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/05/08/virgin-mobile-looking-to-merge-with-helio/
Get' your facts straight before trying to fix other people's points. Helio primarily leases from Sprint but it can also roam on other networks such as alltel or verizon wireless

The tech support is where it's at. American or very well spoken english always when I call.

Love my Ocean and the add ons :) ]]>Jul 23rd 2008 6:28PM
