I use Cellular 1 in the Baltimore Washington area. The service is very reasonably priced at .60/.15 (peek/ofpeek) +100 offpeek minutes per month for $10.00. (standard rate plan is .46/.24 for $40.00 a month) Custom Calling is no extra charge per month, except you pay 2X-airtime for 3-way-calls and call-waiting-calls, and you pay airtime rates to forward your calls. The quality of the service is pretty good. There are certain areas where I wish there were more cells. Sound quality is pretty good as well. every now and again I get a bad connection. The avarage call dosn't sound any worse than your average AT&T long distance call. Since they are sectorizing their cells in this area, (spliting their cells up into pie slices), handoffs while using VOX mode has not been working very well. I give their customer service reps an A+ rating. They are by far the friendliest, helpful reps I've ever delt with. If you want to speak with a techi, they give you absolutly no hassle! The system is a Motorola EMX-2500. When a caller calls you, they hear clicking until the system finds your mobil, then a ring. I'm not sure if I find this annoying or not.
