I'm curious about the TOTAL cost of a prepaid cell phone for someone

Something else to beware of: someone posted to another newsgroup just
yesterday that TracFone is losing coverage in major markets. I can
believe it, because Cingular is gradually phasing out TDMA in favor of
GSM, and a lot of the prepay phones (ALL those using the Cingular
network) are TDMA.

Do any prepaid cellphone companies use GSM? I was going to be getting
a new phone sometime, and that would be something to consider.
