As low as $0.053 actually.

We have another Verizon option here called Cricket:
http://www.mycricket.com/cricketplans/
$25 just local UNLIMITED calling or $35 with unlimited LD.  NOONE beats
them.  Pay the roaming on VZW outside the city...Cricket's all CDMA.

Their internet suffers from the same lies as Verizon did before NYS Atty
General Cuomo sued Verizon.  Cricket has the same exact "unlimited
access" nonsense in the big type, then they say:

"Throughput may be limited if use exceeds 5GB per month. Internet
browsing does not include: hosted computer applications, continuous web
camera or broadcast, automatic data feeds, machine-to-machine
connections, peer to peer (P2P) connections or other applications that
denigrate network capacity or functionality."
...in the little type.  "Unlimited access" is what Verizon hacks used to
use to sell their $60 service, too.  It's a lie.

Still, 5GB/mo for $40, $35 with a phone plan, isn't bad.  But, no
tethering to my tablet.  It's a USB wireless modem for laptops.  The
tablet could be made to support it, but the dongle would not be
nice...even on a laptop.

Hard to beat an unlimited phone for $35/mo with LD.  Best teenage girl
phones on the PLANET if you shut down roaming so her phone goes dead out
of the service areas, which are growing across the country really fast.  
Cricket has made a roaming deal with someone big in Florida.  Check out
the "Extended Coverage" maps.  Most of South Florida is Cricket Country,
now if you buy a little more plan with extended coverage for traveling.

People tell me Cricket has their own system.  But, in Charleston,
they're using Verizon.

Usually by bigoted jackasses who have never even visited the state.

By USA standards, Charleston is very old, long before the country.  Many
of the original buildings and homes are kept in pristine condition, in
spite of many firestorms the city has endured over the centuries.  Many
of those homes were converted from candles to coal gas lights before the
late 19th century saw DC electric power from the Edison company, whos
generator stations were placed across the old city because Edison never
solved DC's big problem...line loss.  Edison never understood it.  The
Tesla multiphase AC system, that powers the world today, swept it aside,
dispite Edison's scare tactics in Central Park, NYC, trying to trash it
(sort of like sellphone companies trying to trash Wimax and other
competition with lawsuits and lobbying, now).

(the grusome original film the Smithsonian refuses to show)
Edison, an American corporate monster when threatened, electrocuted
hundreds to thousands of dogs and cats to try to scare the public into
refusing to install Tesla's AC power from Westinghouse Electric.  What a
great American Edison always is depicted as.

Edison invented the Electric Chair in 1888.  This execution was
illegally filmed for the warden in the 1970s.

A friend of mine lives in a small, but heavily built, building in the
middle of the affluent "Below Broad" neighborhood on Tradd St.  If you
feel around on the carpet in his living room, which has a solid concrete
floor over 5 feet thick, you can feel the cut off huge bolts the Edison
DC generators from one of the first electric installations were held
fast with, an amazing piece of history, itself.

All of the original gas fixtures are still floor mounted and huge gas
chandeliers hang from the ceiling of many old churches, their gas jets
having been converted to light bulbs years later.  Many old houses still
use "tube and nail" cloth-covered copper wire in parallel mounted on
ceramic insulators nailed into the plaster walls.  A large porcelain
rotary switch turns on the historic overhead light in many living rooms.

Though many outhouses still exist, but are not used, across the historic
city, we've had plumbing for years.  It's easy to spot as there was no
room for it inside the old plaster walls, so it was installed on the
OUTSIDE of the buildings going through a hole in the wall where it was
needed inside.  This makes for very exciting Saturdays when Charleston
gets a hard freeze Friday night, with all the exposed plumbing splitting
open then remelting with geysers erupting all over the historic
district...(c;]  Houses with indoor toilets also have outdoor sewer
lines showing off how modern we are to passers-by tourists who spend
thousands to look at them.  We call them "Dumb Yankee Tourists" because
everyone here knows you can see them for free any ol' time you like.

Back in the 1960's, the Navy Wives Club put up a huge billboard along the
new Interstate 26 that fed the unsuspecting into Charleston.  The Chamber
of Commerce unsuccessfully sued to have it removed.  It read:

  WELCOME TO CHARLESTON

SET YOUR WATCH BACK 200 YEARS

At the time, the city was still pretty primitive and housing was a real
problem.  This sign resulted in a couple of new Navy and Air Force enlisted
housing projects that got the enlisted families out of the slums around the
bases.

I was making a joke...
