Why not get cricket $40 plan and flash to evo?

[darylrue]

I have $30 sero plan and am contemplating this after getting hooked on android. Or wait for windows 7 phone hopefully will be sero. If iPhone went to verizon could prob flash it too.....

Questions about cricket - would they raise your price plan on you down the road since no contract? Can I get static ip? Can I tell phone not to roam to prevent possibility of roam fees?

I can answer a couple of the cricket Questions,
When cricket has plan changes, it is upto you to change it. They don't due it auto... Like this last March they changed plans wile introducing there nationwide talk and text coverage. But to take advantage of the new PRL's you had to change to a new plan. Worked good for me with three lines before March I was paying with taxes 150.00 now with taxes I pay 138.87 all the same features plus unlimited directory assistance.
But even better news, They have newer plans coming out next month when they introduce the new BlackBerry and Sanyo Zio (Android) phones. The new plans will include HTML data just like Sprint and Verizon.
For a static IP, cricKet doesn't offer them or allow them.
Roaming, well they are prepaid so unless you add money to the flex bucket "saving account" or have a plan that offers it you won't roam unless it's in the national talk/text coverage.
Basically any CDMA phone/PPC can be flashed to cricket I do it on a daily basis now. I started out just doing my own, now I charge others.

Thanks for the info re: the new plans coming down the pipe soon whitey. I wonder if they will maintain the existing non-HTML data plans or migrate totally to HTML?

*My Evo on Cricket is SWEEET!!

I finally realized the answer to my question. No keyboard. Maybe the droid or the new droid is flashable too?

I've heard rumors that the two top plans will include HTML for the new devices. Also rumors of taxes included!

Most all CDMA Android devices can be fully flashed to cricket and even Metro, you just need the know how and patience.
