if you send just 1 message, with something like looking for moderator or something like that in the subject line instead of replying to a bunch of messages asking this way with the subject lines as they were, you're probably not going to have much if any luck. You might not anyway.

  Subject: Cell phone provider info

  Hello,

  Since the majority of the posts on this list are not ham related, 
  I guess, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em.

  Because of the recent discussion about cell phone providers, I 
  wanted to comment as I recently changed providers.

  I was previously a cingular customer and was happy with 
  everything except the price.  In fact, I got a 10% discount off 
  retail because the service was bundled with a package of other 
  services from the phone company.  However, it was still costing 
  me close to $30 per month although my wife and I seldom used more 
  than 45 minutes per month.  Also, I had purchased the Talks 
  software so that our phone would talk.  But the cost just was not 
  justified.  So I put a for-sale sign on my phone via the internet 
  and began looking for a different provider.  I should also 
  mention that my wife wanted a more conventional button 
  configuration on the phone's dial pad.

  Since the following may look a bit like spam, I must say that my 
  only interest in the following company is the $40 I spent for the 
  Nokia 1100 phone which included 300 minutes of air time.  I went 
  with a company called Net Ten,
  www.net10.com

  877-836-2368 or 877 t e n c e n t.  This is a GSM cell service 
  which gives you a flat rate of ten cents per minute, no roaming, 
  regardless of time of day.  They apparently have reciprocal 
  agreements with other carriers as I have had no coverage 
  difficulties in other areas, and, as I said, no roaming.  There 
  are no real gotchas that I can find although I find it a real 
  irritant that one cannot get a human to tell you how many minutes 
  you have remaining, only the info on your screen.  Also, one must 
  replenish minutes before the renewal date and before the minutes 
  he presently has have expired.  If you do not, you lose your 
  phone number.  However, unused minutes roll over when you add air 
  time.  I should mention that you can determine your renewal date 
  on the internet.

  The phone is no frills; however, we don't care about that since 
  the more exotic stuff is not accessible without expensive third 
  party software.

  In conclusion, there is no one size fits all when it comes to 
  cell service; however, this plan seems to meet our needs very 
  well, and we are not saddled with a long term contract.  Also no 
  loss of unused minutes.  Comments please.
