Solid service and good 3G data speeds, high reliability. (AT&T’s network.) They have been advertising heavily and may be the next MetroPCS. You can compare prepaid plans at www.allprepaidplans.com

For a while I have observed they miss charge all the time. I made a call 54 sec, they charged me $0.10. For call made less than 3 second, hang up right after voice box message, they charge $0.05. For calls some time less than 2 minutes I was charged $0.15. I was even buying minute plan and it should cost me $0.05 / minute. They said they would even prorate the charge that is below a minute, but they didn’t do that. Often I was charged $0.05 extra. H2O Wireless just eats people’s money which makes them more expensive.

Great stuff. I have their $25 dollar plan and never had a problem. They give free international mintues with some plans to call anywhere around the world. Best AT&T MVNO so far.

H2O IS A COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME!!! FORGET EASY, FORGET GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE, FORGET EVERYTHING YOU KNOW ABOUT AN A” GRADE COMPANY. AT&T OWNS THIS AND THEY SUCK AS WELL. H2O…..A JOKE TO RIP PEOPLE OFF JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER WIRELESS COMPANY. JUST GO LOCAL AND AT LEAST YOU HAVE SOMEWHERE TO GO WHEN YOU NEED HELP. H2O SENDS YOU TO A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY INSTEAD OF THE USA!!”
