    For you guys that run with Millis. I know most of the time it is eastern USA. I was wondering what cell phone carrier you have. I currently have Boost Mobile which i have had for about 5 years now. They are great for where i live but i am not sure if they will be ok for OTR driving. I would rather not be stuck somewhere that i do not have a signal. So please let me know what you use.

    Yes, verizon is the service that most everyone agrees with.
    Also Millis offers a 19% monthly discount with verizon.

    But Sprint offer a cheaper unlimited service $79.00 a mo. Just not sure how good their coverage is

    Verizon but I may be switching back to AT&T just to consolidate the phones in my household. I have an iPad that's on the AT&T network and rarely am without service with either one.

    I think boost used Verizon towers but not sure of the coverage. Their website may have better info.

    I use Verizon with unlimited everything. I use the Hotspot for my internet needs, my trainer uses my hotspot as well, does that sound weird? Don't worry, it's in the evaluation....lol

    Is your hotspot warm and inviting..lol. Yeah i was talking online with a verizon rep and it was just confusing really. They were trying to get me to buy a droid razor but i was trying to talk to her about the 9.99 droid sale and that one was not on there.

    What phones do you guys have?

    Thats the one I wanted for $9.99 w/ 2yr. agreement, But Its only for NEW lines and I can't upgrade.
    So I'm going to call them again and if that gets me nowhere, Hello Sprint,
    Nice Free droids with free otterboxes and Unlimited everything $79. a mo.

    I got it on my "old line"? Alot of times with Verizon things are "online" only, if you call they won't help. You have to order online.

    I did, When I added everything to the cart, And went to checkout the phone was $149.00.
    So I'm going to talk to a live person and see where that gets me, I figure if i tell them give me the deal or I'm leaving, My contract ends in July, But Its in my wifes name And we have 4 phones on the contract so I'll just disconect my line and move on.
