So I can claim that I was "born rascist" and get a free pass, too?
Some people are, however, born stupid.
I use Verizon, because I've consistently heard that they have the best overall coverage, both regionally and nationally. I don't remember the details of my plan. I think it's something like $39.95/month covering all calls in the eastern U.S. for 400 mins, unlimited nights/weekends, and 500 mins Verizon-to-Verizon.
I can't say anything bad about Verizon. I've had them for about four years. I have unlimited text messages, but I think that was a limited deal when I signed up for a new contract. I pay about $50/month, and I have yet to pay anything extra for using more than my alloted minues. I think I might have the same contract as Max. Nonetheless, I don't really like talking on the phone much, so I probably don't use it as many other people do. At least, I don't us it as much as my girlfriend, but THAT's a whole other story. . .. =D
Don't get Cingular. Every call I've made in the past 3 months has been dropped. I'm switching to Verizon.
A note about Verizon... though their service is fine, they have the lamest selection of phones! AT&T Wireless has about 4 times as many options. I find this enormously frustrating as I like to know that I have the coolest phone available at all times. This is hard with Verizon.
Hrmm...I'm trying to think if I want web and/or IM or just as small as possible...
