I live in the Midwest, and need at least 1200 anytime minutes/mo. being
self employed (1500 preferred) ; so far, the best ive found is :
"T-Mobile" which has 3,000 anytime minutes (regional) for $49 ., which
includes new phone , calls to the continental U.S. from my region which
are my state plus the surrounding states, voicemail, caller i.d., etc...
Is this about the best around ???

Also, if you have T-Mobile , how is their cell reception ?

Thanks, Norman

I live in the out areas of central Louisiana where the signals for cell phone
are far and few between. I had Centennial and Cell 1 service and they sucked big
time for getting a signal. i switched to Cingular about 2 years ago and got good
calling signals just about everywhere in the back woods. ATT went with them like
others have said and I think the signals got even better. The other may have a
better deal but the signal is better with that Cingular peoples. I pay $39.99
for 450 minutes to home phones '' to or from '' anywhere in the U.S.A. and
unlimit calls to any other Cigular / ATT customers and 5000 minutes nites and
week ends. I also have 3 way calling , caller I.D. , call forwarding, voice
mail, and everything you can put on it for still $39.00 a month. I have two
other techs that work with me in my business which has other plans with Cingular
and when we are on a big building hvac job. We just call each other 3 way
calling and use them as a three way walky talky and just leave them on talking
back and forth all the time to know what the other one is doing on get each tech
to set the controls right. Just stick it in your shirt pocket and talk while
your working and all day if you like. You can talk with it in your shirt pocket
and talk and hear good. I have 3,000 minutes but mostly in the day time on my
bill but still pay the flate $39.99 price. The most I use of the 450 anytime
minutes to home phones is 300 and get 150 minutes rolled over to the next month
to use. I have 900+ roll over minutes right now and use it for 3,000 minute a
month too. Your only draw back will be if you have to call home or business
phones or non-att or cingular customers but here Cingular and ATT is boss.

Here I don't think they even have T-Moble service. If you can't make calls when
you want , the cheapest deal is too high. I'm not doing like that fellow on tv
who say " Can you hear me know" .
