The Sanyo RL2500 (aka Sanyo SCP-5400) (sold for the SprintPCS Network)

a month and would like a cell phone. I have seen various deals here in the
US, the cost seems very high. Can I just buy a prepaid when I get there? Can
I take a US GSM phone and just get a SIM?

U.S. wireless providers have had for some time these "buy one phone
get one free" advertising campaigns. Of course, buried in the legal
fine print is "one year service contract required; early termination fee
applies to each phone". They all seem to do this (Verizon Wireless, AT&T,

A year ago, I purchased what was then an expensive cell phone, depending on the
advice of the salesman at a Verizon store.  I purchased it at the last minute;
had ot put down a rather large deposit; and signed a bunch of things that I had
no time to read.

They sure are better about letting you get a new phone mid-contract.  Anyone
know the specifics of their policy?  A friend needed a new cingular phone

This month my ATTWS bill showed 1054 minutes of usage.  I never go
over my limit of 350 minutes per month so I was really surprised.  I
