> I got the same letter. I like my analog plan cus its about $15 a month for
2 phones. I pay for all minutes. For my minimal use it works. I don't see
why I should have to pay 2 or 3 times as much to switch to newer digital
phones. I'll wait them out. If they don't offer me similarly priced upgrade
to keep me as a customer, when they shut down the analog service they'll
just loose me. A phone call is a phone call, I don't care what technology
they use to deliver it. It benifits them to get me on digital phones. I
won't pay more for it, at least not to them. I'll probably get a TracPhone.
