BOTH cellular providers offer price packages that waive the roaming charges. Basically, you pay a higher "per-minute" airtime fee and don't have to worry if you are in or out of your "home" area. Normally you have to pay a surcharge for airtime outside of your "home" cellular area. I had this plan for 2 years with Cellular One. I paid $.35 per minute NATIONWIDE. Later, I changed jobs and quit traveling and I switched to a cheaper plan. Less per-minute home charges, and since I never roam (well hardly ever) I come out ahead. With either company, you must do your homework and study your lifestyle and needs for the phone. In some cases, the more expensive plan will be the most economical, viewing just the monthly bottom line. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gantt Edmiston - SysAdmin o |If you always do what you've always done, SAS Institute Inc. <( |you'll always get what you've always got.
