i have a verizon plan.
$40 per month, free nights and weekends, unlimited mobile to mobile, 400 minutes per month. i can call anywhere without getting whacked for long distance and roaming charges.
i got it 2 months ago, rarely use it unless i'm travelling but the best plan and reception for the money i think.
Thanks for the info, mikey. It sounds like a good deal. I still haven't purchased a cell phone, but I guess it's inevitable.
