New carrier - unlimited talk/text/data $39.99... prepaid.

[Nextel32708]

Unlimited Talk/Text/Data plan for $39.99 a month from Eclipse Mobile - it's supposed to include Blackberry Data (but not the BB Storm...). I wonder if they allow tethering...

I heard you can get unlimited 3G aircard for $69.99 ($60 if you bundle it with the $39.99 plan) too - finally an unlimited prepaid data option!!!

This is very interesting. From their website... it seems they are using the Verizon network (since they have BB Storm and V-Cast phones).

Does anyone use them or heard anymore about them?

I wonder if they offer any other services like GPS navigation/tracking, real caller ID, push-to-talk, TV/radio, 2nd line service, call waiting, 3-way calling, callertunes; does anyone know if they offer any of these additional services? If so, how much do you pay for them?

Hrm... I found this over at HoFo... I wonder if it's true. I looks like a pretty good deal if it is... interesting...

Does anyone have EclipseMobile as a provider of service? Any input?

Their website offers no coverage map, roaming info, or any other network info. I'd want to know these details/info before signing up for anything....

Looking at the phones available, all of the phones pictured have the Verizon logo on them, if that's any hint of coverage available and what network they're on.

Hey guys, I just want to let you know that I'll be here to clear things up for you. I've been reading up on Eclipse Mobile and doing a ton of research on them so I'm pretty sure I'll be able to answer the majority of your questions. (I hope... )

Eclipse Mobile should be launching a new plan on the 14th of this month, which will include unlimited talk text and web. This plan will require different phones than the ones currently listed on the website. The phones that are currently on the website, are for a different set of plans, which are on the website right now.

I really think you all should wait until the 14th to purchase service because the current plans aren't as good as the one that is about the come out. The one that is going to come out is a lot better.

I have heard that a new website is coming that should include just about all information this time. I know the current website isn't the best, which is why I've asked Eclipse Mobile a ton of questions. The new website should include a coverage map and all that good stuff.

What are your thoughts and opinions? Do you have any questions? I'd be glad to answer them, and if I don't know the answer, I'll beg and beg Eclipse Mobile until they answer them for us.

Thanks all!

The phones they currently offer indicate they are CDMA. More specifically, they seem to be older Verizon phones.

There are going to be new phones coming out with the launch of the new $40/month unlimited plan.

The phones that you're seeing are for the other plans (not the new unlimited).

My comment about the phones was more about what their coverage might be like. The phones indicate they're CDMA. Since most are Verizon, that could indicate they're a Verizon MVNO.

That is for their old plans.

The new plan, which is what this thread is about, is coming out soon (it has been delayed) and at launch there will be new phones. You will see in a few days which phones are available. The coverage map is on the website.
