The figures for Clearnet are actually much lower than stated above for
this option.  The actual cost should be:

Clearnet
$149 PCS Phone
$120 basic fee, 600 minutes included + free weekends + >>1900<< extra
minutes @ >>$0.15<< a minute + $4.50 monthly license fee = $289.50
(Clearnet's $120 package charges $0.15 for extra time, not $0.20)
$409.50 = $289.50 + $120 = total monthly fee with ClearNET
