My wife and I are on a plan together, it comes out to about $250 a month. Don't ask me why.

I truly think that most cell phone companies charge us for shit we didn't even do. Heck, this summer our tower in town went out from a storm and my phone connected to another tower and put me in roam. Got the shaft on that one. Wish i lived in the cities with more options. I miss living there but i don't miss the traffic.
Are you guys kidding??? GSM RULES!
I've had T-Mobile for 4 years, since they were Aerial (Voicestream)
OF COURSE I live in the city. GSM does suck for rural areas. TDMA and CDMA are a much safer choice for rural areas. It's just REALLY old technology. The quality of the calls, and amount of data you can transfer is far less than GSM. THUS every other country in the world other than the US and Mexico are on a GSM only network.
Wait till they get GAIT phones. These phones allow you to use GSM AND TDMA at the same time. You can also get Analog transcievers to "add on" if any of you remember the OLD school voicestream phones "Nokia 5190".
I always told people when I sold phones: look at what you do most with your phone, long distance, roaming, texting, talking, and base your plan on that because NO ONE has a cure all yet.
Look into Midwest Wireless, ALLTEL, Cingular (Which just acquired AT&T, and will have WI coverage soon), or a few other spin offs. verizon may be a viable alternative, but I don't personally like CDMA... you'll drop calls like crazy, and most phones like to try to ROAM. GSM you really don't have Roaming. You're either on or off....
My 2 Cents.

Been with AT&T since 2000, about $45 a month right now. Could be less but I'd rather not have to worry about going over my minutes.

I have cell ones new GSM up here in D-Town. Got on it right when they started it here. So 45/month gets me unlimited calling and long distance.
