This is to Alexander Bykov who was looking for advice on cellular phones.
I got a cellular phone about 6 months ago because I wanted the peace of mind
of knowing I could contact someone in an emergency (I live in L.A. after all!)
I shopped around for at least a year before I got mine. If you really shop
around and read the newspaper articles every day, you'll find a great deal.
Make sure that you tell them that you want the $25 a month Night Owl Program
and not the $33 one. (The $33 dollar one comes with 50 free minutes of off
peak minutes). In reality, unless you use all 50 minutes, you are losing money.
In addition it encourages you to use the phone more often and you
end up racking up a large bill. These Night Owl Programs are available on
both LA Cellular and Airtouch(formerly known as PacTel). It is $.20 a 
minute all day on the weekends and after 7pm until 7am during the week.
Make sure that they don't charge you a programming fee if you want to go on
the $25 a month plan. It is a way for them to make money on something that
is very simple for them to do (it takes about 3 minutes to program it).
In my experience, Motorola and Nokia seemed to have the best quality and 
options available in phones. The person who sold me mine also fixes them
for a living and told me many horror stories about some very expensive but
poorly made phones. Good Luck (especially on those L.A. freeways. I can 
relate!)
