If you choose Cingular, try the Nation 450 rollover w/ Unltd Mobile to mobile and 5000 Night & Weekends for $39.99. No roaming charges nationwide and no domestic long distance charges. You can try out the phone for 30 days w/out paying contract damages (only usage) if returned to place of purchase.
I need a very basic plan, as an example for when I go out of town no bells, no whistles, prefer no roaming almost all calls would be to or from Mississippi and Alabama wouldn't need alot of minutes locally available companies are Cingular, Bellsouth, and Cellularsouth but what about plans on the net any help appreciated Joe
