 I'm sure I can't get all the way to my desk at work, but what should I be

A used cell phone might be the perfect connection

Want to equip the whole family with cell phones without going into
debt?

Recently I moved to different part of the country.
I switched my phone service just one day after my
billing period ended, because previous a customer
service rep had told me that it would be no big deal

OK, I want to change to CallPlus from AT&T/Cingular Free2Go.  My
AT&T/Cingular minutes just expired the other day.  Does that mean the
ESN on my TDMA phone is now automatically free?  Or do I have to fight

I need feedback about coverage quality on Verizon compared to Cingular; it's
what will make the buy decision for me clear. I don't care about cost;
coverage is my greatest concern. I travel mostly in the Midwest (Chicago
area) with trips to the East (Washington, New York). What's ...

Why are there no Sim cards for CDMA phones? It seems that the flexibility
offered by the GSM Sim cards could be implemented on CDMA phones also. Then
to switch phones, all you have to do is remove the Sim card from the old
