AT&T is letting her out without paying a fee, but she hasn't
had a new phone in more than two years. I was worried that
since she changed calling plans that she might have gotten a
new contract.

They confirmed the lack of coverage in her area, and that they
had no plans to add cells to cover the area where she lives. I
suspect that someday they may add GSM coverage, but not
TDMA.

So it looks like Verizon is her only hope. I'll check it out
this weekend.

Whats the best CDMA+AMPS non-color phone that Verizon
offers on-line? How's the Samsung A310?
