I'm not sure I can answer the service question, but I can tell you a good place to get a cell phone online: http://www.wirefly.com Ben Liyanage ben at smartankgroup.com 410.336.2464 -----Original Message----- From: hidden-discuss-bounces at lists.hidden-tech.net [mailto:hidden-discuss-bounces at lists.hidden-tech.net] On Behalf Of Mary Malmros Sent: Tuesday, March 14, 2006 9:28 AM To: Hidden Tech Subject: [Hidden-tech] cell phone plans? ** Be a Good Dobee and help the group, you must be counted to post . ** Fill out the survey/skills inventory in the member's area. Living in the hills, I dropped my cell phone service, but it looks like I'm going to have to resume it again -- even though I can't get any service at my home, and don't really have any use for it up here in the hills. However, it looks like I might be spending my work weeks somewhere where it makes a lot more sense. I don't know exactly where that is, and of course as a contractor, that will be changing -- I might have a road warrior job, or I might be essentially stuck in one location for months on end. So I thought I'd ask the assembled what they think about their plans, and whether anyone's got something that might match. Here are my criteria: NEED TO HAVE - Individual plan - Minimum 300 daytime minutes a month, max 600 - Nationwide coverage - No weird hidden fees - Customer service that is something better than abysmal NICE TO HAVE BUT NOT WORTH PAYING EXTRA FOR - Some coverage in Shelburne Falls - Unlimited nights and weekends THINGS I REGARD AS A STUPID WASTE OF MONEY AND TIME - A gazillion ringtones that just make you look like an idjit when your phone rings - Picture phones Anyone got a carrier that's not a collection of clowns?
