I doubt that I use 15 minutes a month, but that might change if I had a better
phone and more minutes available. It's only recently that I can get cell
phone service inside my house.

I'm not sure. He had a pre-paid plan for a while and now he's using a
friend's phone. We need to go into a store and figure it all out, but I've
gotten a lot of great info from newsgroups, so I thought I'd put it out there.

People I know in this area seem to think Cingular is the best, so I was
leaning towards keeping what I had. We will look around.
