    I require a lower cost service for my budget. I was with Alltel for years with no problems at all & then they were bought out by Verizon Wireless.My bill has went up, the services i had were cut down & so many dropped calls it's crazy...can you say "Can you hear me now" ...Verizon is a big joke.

    I'll gladly pay more to know I'll have coverage almost anywhere. Especially when you're a young woman traveling by yourself!

    I do not need a lot of bells and whistles on my cell phone. I want a reliable phone that will work where and when I want it -without costing an arm and leg.

    Rather than a "stylish" phone, I prefer a phone with the best utility and user-friendly...however, coverage and reception is a MUST!

    I personally am probably the only human alive that don't have a cell phone however it's important that my son does and I can get a hold of him whenever I need him. It also makes me comfortable he pays per month with no contract since you know how kids can be with bills.
