I have recently become a Helio member and I feel I have made in excellent choice in phone companies. I was a customer of sprint for 8 years. At sprint I wasnt comfortable with the quality of service I received from customer service as well as from my phone and plan. With helio its very simple and has really made me happy that I made the change. I recommend Helio to anyone tired of the big name cell phone companies that want quality service and do not want to lose the technology that comes with phones now a days. I have the ocean and love it. Helio is here to stay!
