It is nice if you can go with out a contract. I know my one best friend has no contract and unlimited everything and his bill is like 1/2 of what mine is - crazy. I'm pretty much stuck with Nextel due to work. I would love to shop around and change out our phones (carrier - but I would stick with a blackberry again) because our cell charge is crazy (I pay the office one). I have unlimited everything and even with a corporate plan it still cost me a little over a $100. each month. Plus anyone who has ever called me on my cell at home (green and missb can tell you) I get horrible service at my house. I think that is due to all the wireless products in my house though.

I used to have an AT&T pay as you go phone, and my bill was almost nothing. Then I decide to get my iPhone, and I'm paying $100 a month... Darn technology and its appeal.
