Interesting discussion. It gets complicated .
It would seem that when ATT has changed over to GSM, it would be a strong competitor (does anyone know when this will occur?).
I spoke to Verizon. There are 2 puchase choices. 1)for $249 they will sell you a GSM triband (Motorola T280) with a SIMM installed. It requires a $10/mo 1 year contract. 2)just buy the SIMM for $10 and no $10/month, but $300 deposit. Either of these would work. Is the T280 decent, or is there something else out there that will accept a SIMM.
Thanks
