Steve,
I'm sure they all have there problems. However, I have had the most
problems with Sprint as far as, well, everything. From asking the same
questions to business associates who travel often and have a use for cell
phones on a regular basis - ATT seems to have the best reception (but, more
costly), and the above mentioned - the worst. Currently using Cingular and
am much happier.
Things that I would look for:
The shortest "contract" available (monthly or annually - get the one
year plan if possible).
The free / cheapest phone available (from your comments, it doesn't
sound like you're going to have it glued to your head - therefore, no
bells and whistles necessary.)
No roaming charges.
No long distance charges.
Can be used just about anywhere in the nation.
And the plan that fits your needs the best. You can get approx. 350 any
time minutes, 3500 nights/weekends for about $30/month.
Note: if you have problems with the phone / service during the first 30
days, chances are, it won't improve.

Subject: [TN] (OT) Cell phones...
Hi ya'll...
I apologize for the off-content post, but I'm considering a
cell-phone...held off for as long as I could, but I'm realizing that there
is many benefits to having one...
I look at a cell phone the same as a beeper, an electronic "Leash" as you
will...
But I guess that's not a bad thing...I want to get my own now.
I know there are hundreds, upon hundreds, of cell phones out there, as well
as cell phone plans. I'm asking what is the best for the money...
I've been looking, and have an opinion, but I'd like to tap on this
distinguished group (many have had cell phones for quite a while), as to
what I should look at.
Sorry for the "Off topic post", but I think I could learn something
valuable from somebody...
