Data. I least I could use my home's wifi

I noticed some weird stuff too. I chalk it up to growing pains as they build their network.

Signed up 2 weeks ago for the $25/month with free data add-on
I'm very satisfied with the reception, not many drops in signals and stays around 2-3 bars.

Picked up the Panache, I love this phone so much.
As a former iPhone user, I wouldn't switch back.
Android operating system rocks

TBH, the reception isnt really that good. But instead of the Nexus S I recommend the HTC Panache. The buttons really conquer over the touch buttons because you might accidently press the touch buttons and get fustrated.

Agreed. I love my Panache, especially coming from an older BB.

The Panache was my first phone. After using it, all other phones don't compare to it. You can immedietly recognize that another phone has worse graphics just by looking at it.

Wish they had the multi-month deal to go along with this plan.

things that EAT batteries:

widgets, especially live ones that keep updating like weather and news.
live/animated wallpapers
wifi/bluetooth
GPS/location services
bad network signal reception/roaming
auto brightness

looking to switch to Mobilicity from Fido but I still have about $225 in Fido dollars left. Anyone know if any of the current Fido phones would be compatible with Mobilicity?

Other phone companies that work include T-Mobile, Wind Mobile. That is all.

I think some quad band phones might work if unlocked. Might be wrong.

Mobilicity’s network uses AWS, with bands 1700/2100.
If your phone could run on those bands and it's unlocked, you're good to go
