A thread that is located at the top of each section. We "stick" it there, hence the name sticky. It came to be a forum thing. Most forums have them. They usually contain important or frequently used information.

Sure I think it should get it's own section.

I am going to go ahead and suggest it to the Administrators here. I will keep this thread updated with any information.

So basically this service is $19 a month for low usage (1,000 units) they stated that 550 minutes, 150 texts, and 300mb of data would be fair use on any mobile network.

300mb is not much. If you are out of a wifi zone and want to stream anything that can go quick.

For $200 for an Optimus to use a wifi network most of the time is expensive. I think many people would do better with any old android phone + voip / google voice / grooveip / etc and save the $19/mo

I'll stick with Virgin's $25 plan for now.

Might pick up RW to test it out but I think I will hold off until i see some reviews.

Where did "units" come to be a measure. I know the minimum adds up to that, but...

It's 5:30 here and the sight is still not active.
I am hanging it up for the evening with them.
Will check back in the morning.

Yes it is, I can buy, but it looks like it's only for beta signers.

Beta signers it is then. I got in the next morning with the welcome19 discount brought my total to less than 104.00.
If I know that this is a beta project, and their might be problems ahead of time, and that my input may be helping get this new kind of cell phone off the ground and it is cheap, I am ok with it.
Charge me 300.00 and hand me a crappy phone that is sold as the greatest thing since sliced bread, not ok with that.

Get used to it, in case you haven't been keeping up on all phones, they are all sold as beta, but they just don't tell you. I think there is a 30 return.

Just look at the iPhone etc.
