Keep in mind the extras when you sign up for a plan. Different companies will have very different charges for the extras, and they can quickly add up. Directory assistance, text messages, navigation, internet, downloading songs, etc. Above all, make sure that he has a plan that he can call you for free.

This is very true. They'll nickel-and-dime you for about $2 per 411 call unless you're calling 1-800-GOOG-411, which has all the same info as regular 411 but it's free. Actually, that number is good for truckers since we provide free Driving Directions powered by MapQuest: say where you are where you're going and we'll text directions to your cell right after the call.

For those unaware... T Mobile is 1) the cheapest cost for the most coverage ($99 for unlimited everything, nationwide) and 2) T Mobile coverage will soon be the widest in North America because
a) they have gone to "G3" (? think that's it) format and no longer the old CDMA format and
b) they are coming out with WIFI/Cell phones which will transfer from one to the other meaning even more coverage.
And last, T Mobile is about to release a WIFI/G3 phone financed by Google which will be similar to the Apple phone but with more, including 3-dimensional GPS that can not only track you where you are and show you where to go, but also what the area looks like visually in a 360 degree pattern.

With the service and phone, a laptop will only be necessary for watching movies and keeping records.

This is all do out in the next 4 weeks. For those who want to wait, it'll just keep getting better (that's how technology is). But T Mobile is going to be riding the wave of the future for awhile and nobody is touching them. I've had Alltel for 8 years, Verizon for 3 years. Will NEVER use Verizon (screwed my bills up repeatedly, finally refunded money back but would not let me out of contract despite repeated screwups) or AT&T (they insisted my mom needed to pay her bill up to 9 months AFTER she died...and then demanded I pay it... morons). Personally, I think T Mobile is waaaay ahead of everyone and they cost ALOT less. Oh yea... they are also rated the best of all cell companies for customer service as well.

I use T-mobile. I have been with them for over 2 years and have been real happy with them.
