Looked at it

I want "pay as you go cellular". Sane per minute rates, no crystal ball required. That was lovely cheese. --Wallace, The Wrong Trousers Edited by tuberculosis Aug. 21, 2007, 06:41:34 AM EDT Expand All History

Not as cheap as estimating correctly, but not as bad as paying huge overcharges if you mis-estimate. I don't know how well it works in practice. But since you don't like Sprint, I guess that's out. Maybe Virgin or some other relative newcomer has a plan that would fit better? Until then, you might want to hit *2 (or whatever magic key sequence they have that tells you how many minutes you've used) frequently. :-( Luck! Cheers, Scott.

Phone case, earpiece, car power adapter, etc. come separately and can be purchased at the web site or in stores. (Service is by Sprint, so Sprint stores carry some accessories.) The cost for service is: 25 cents/minute for the first 10 minutes every day, then 10 cents/minute thereafter. On days that you don't use it, you pay nothing. No taxes, no service charges, no miscellaneous fees. Just buy a "Power Up" card, or use a major credit card, to recharge your balance when it drops below $5.00 Today through Saturday you can buy a $20 "Power Up" card at Target for $15 + tax. lincoln "Windows XP has so many holes in its security that any reasonable user will conclude it was designed by the same German officer who created the prison compound in "Hogan's Heroes." - Andy Ihnatko, Chicago Sun-Times [link\|mailto:bconnors@ev1.net\|contact me]
