My wife's cell phone is paid for by her employer, so she is in the same enviable position. <BR/>I'm just waiting for someone at one of the cell companies to do the math and (hopefully) determine that it is cheaper to give everyone unlimited minutes than do all the work to track minutes and print detailed bills. I think the reason this hasn't happened so far is that a there must be good money in "overage" charges (or "overcharges", as I like to think of them).Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15055772420636483462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8088636462553964144.post-4027075083038837882008-04-14T15:44:00.000-07:002008-04-14T15:44:00.000-07:00Matt,I dumped my land line about a year ago and co...Matt,<BR/><BR/>I dumped my land line about a year ago and continued service with AT&T, which had been Cingular. I've had them since 2005. I've been fairly pleased with them.<BR/><BR/>Since I travel quite a bit and also have international calls on my bill just about every month because of my family ties, it helps me to have an unlimited minutes plan. AT&T just came out with one for $99 per month, which with tax adds up to about $130 per month.<BR/><BR/>As a single woman, I wouldn't want to be without my cell phone when I'm traveling; and I consider the convenience of always being reachable to be well worth whatever hassle arises from not having a land line phone. I've been happy with my decision, but it's not for everyone.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
