Does anyone have any experience with this company? They are an affiliate for AT&T yet they do not offer the wide slection of phones or even WAP like AT&T. On the plus side they do not require contracts and they are selling the V60t for $125 at the moment.

No personal experience with the company! but have been told that they are pretty good to deal with

Hi Java, yes Cincinnati Bell uses AT&T for it's wireless service. Their rate plans and phones aren't the greatest, but they give you a pretty good deal on wireless if you have them as your phone company and have ZoomTown as your ISP. The greatest thing about them is that you don't have to sign a contract with them. They do tend to charge extra for some features other carriers include for free. I'd also recommend also looking into Verizon Wireless or VoiceStream if you are trying to decide which carrier to go with in Cincinnati. Stay away from Sprint PCS, I-Wireless, and Cingular here.

I-wireless????

Yeah, I-Wireless is one of those localized services where they give you a small area to use your phone, but have cheaper rate plans. Sort of like Cricket's home calling areas. One of my friends has them and he's thinking about leaving. They only have a few phones to select from also. The only place I remember seeing them being sold is Krogers (a grocery store).

Check them out: I-Wireless

i-wireless seems to be prepaid only too...

ComicalMoodyDan · 06-11-2002, 1:43 PM

I-Wireless seems expensive too me, its pre-paid only in a small coverage area. Why would anybody want them? Verizon has a pre-paid service that has the same airtime rates and sometimes even cheaper as them yet provides a MUCH larger calling area with long distance included. I-Wireless kinda seems like a rip off to me.

i-wireless has been around for 3-4 years, doing prepaid way before verizon. i think verizon has hurt them since they cam out with their prepaid service. for a while, i-wireless was the only way to get prepaid service.

Dan I agree

Prepaid and a very small coverage and the only benefit that I see is that there night and weekend minutes start at 7pm

roaming: $1.95 per minute (Very high)
