Question
Hi Debin, I'm a teen in california, and currently living in foster care as of
last october. My foster parent is going to lose her job so were switching
tmobile to these Peek devices.

My question to you is, do they have reliable coverage?

Answer
I have limited knowledge about Peek, but looked into this a bit and think that it is probably a good alternative for folks. It uses cell providers networks and WiFi to work and is definitely a lower cost choice for people who really need a data plan. I am not able to completely tell if this has voice service. It looks like just data to me. You may know more about this then I do, but this is all that I have found so far. Sorry that I don't have any additional information for you and the best of wishes to you. I hope things will work out for your foster parent and for you. Thanks. DebiN
