Ack!
First, I tried a search and couldn't find anything so apologies if I missed something already posted.
I received an e-mail yesterday that as of January 30th, PlatinumTel (PTel, P"Tel) is discontinuing service. They did say they will be around to help port your number out.
They offer a promo code for Ultra Mobile which I'm assuming is a one time discount of $30 off plans over $30 and $15 off plans under $30.
They also offer a free month of unlimited talk, text, and data on Simple Mobile as well as some special offers from Ting for pay as you go.
Suffice to say I need to go back to the Superguide and find a new MVNO. I had been using PTel's $25/mo plan for unlimited talk, text, and 2G data. Unfortunately, the comparable Ultra plan is $34/mo so that probably isn't an option.
If anyone has any recommendations for a provider, preferably GSM that offers online and/or automatic billpay, I'd love to hear them.
