thank you for the great advice! I use Nextel at work and like it for the radio feature...that is all I am allowed to use. I talk to people in DFW, Monroe, ALexandria, Shreveport, and Texarkana and it is all on the radio feature of Nextel...so I will consider them strongly.

and I was thinking of AT&T but it seems that Sprint is not a good way to go.

And based on the messages here...I need to consider T Mobile.

I want the best plan for me maximizing the mileage offers and that is why I came here...I knew you guys would come through!
