I-wireless (Kroger) phone issues

by Greg
(Midwest)

I live in the Midwest and have found the Kroger phone's service area to be a bit limited. For example, I can call Houston, MO from Springfield, MO no problem. I cannot however call Springfield, MO from Houston, MO (Houston is
about 80 miles more or less due East of Springfield).

I have also found that the signal strength of the Kroger phone occasionally is sub-par, but only rarely.

I would also like to point out that Tracfone now offers "Free Double Minutes For Life for $19.99" on certain of their phone models. Factoring that into the per-minute charge, they are cheaper than the Kroger phone on a pay-go basis. (16 cents vs 20 cents/minute).

Texting is still cheaper on the Kroger phone though.

The particular handset I have is a ZTE phone, which you do not list as an available model.

I-wireless vs. Tracfone
by: Burt

To Greg,
I have had I-wireless for several years and their reception here in the West(colo.,NM.,UT.,NV. etc.) is very limited and non-existant in Wyoming. I-wireless (Sprint) has no cell towers in WY.
My wife and I have been using Tracfone for quite a while now and have great reception almost everywhere we go including Wyoming.
We are using the LG420g with double minutes for life and it's been a good deal so far.

Sporadically, when i try calling my parents cell or home phone, which is less than a few miles away, I get the 'roamin charges may apply' and I click on OK and then it says I don't have enough money on my pre-paid card. I have to repeat this process 3 or more times before the call will go through. Frustrating. Luckily, so far I have not had to call during an emergency.
