Upon trying to lower our monthly costs we have decided to cancel our home phone and go with a cell phone since my wife needs one for the road anyway. I have done a little bit of research on plans and the following is what I came up with:

Sprint = Terrible... please don't even recommend it to me, had it, cancelled it.

ATT = Good deal at $39.99, 1000 minutes with LD included. Had it with great success, loved it.

Cingular = Comparable deal to ATT (although can't verify it, for some reason I can't access thier website from work). Never tried them, so can't speculate.

Verizon = Expensive and not very good plans in my area.

So the choices are pretty much between ATT and Cingular, anybody have any intellectual criticism or pros/cons about either of these? Thanks everyone.

I have had ATT since I've moved down here. I have 300 anytime minutes, and 3000 nights/weekend minutes. Free long distance, Etcetc. $40 a month. Love it. There are bad spots in coverage but I think you'll find that with most wireless providers. I vote ATT :-)

Cigular has a great promotion going right now:

$29.99 = 5,300 minutes! 300 Anytime minutes and 5,000 Nights & Weekends (when the home phone would be used anyway). Includes LD & free phone!! Down side is it requires a 2 year service agreement AND roaming is $.79/minute

well sprint has 30 for 300 minutes and free nights and weekends with free LD

with AT&T i get the same thing and good service. when i had sprint my calls were getting dropped all the time and that's in places like Springfeild or on the interstate. AT&T hasn't done that yet.
