After reading the excellent advice of the members of this forum, you might want to actually find the mileage deals for these vendors. I have most (perhaps all) of them on my web site below. You going there is obiously better than my copying them here. Click on Free Frequent Flyer Miles in the left menu, then on Phone & ISP Offers in the top menu.

I actually need a cell phone for the twelve days that I will soon be spending in the UK. Anyone have any ideas for that? The phones I have in the US do not work overseas.

I've had them for a couple of months. Service is pretty good, cust. service seems less messed up than with AT&T and the international roaming is GREAT. Also, international calling is a lot cheaper than AT&T.
They have a shared-minute plan that gives you nationwide calling/roaming with 800 minutes/month to use between two phones. Calls from phone to phone and calls on weekends are free and do not count toward the 800 minutes. Extra phones can be included (up to 5 total) for $10 each/month.

I have Nextel and I like the calling plans they have. I get free incoming calls which is really nice because I get a lot of incoming calls.
Look into what is best for you for your area. Look at all of them.
Nextel has a plan with UA so it's something to look into.

What the previous post said is right on!
Look for the plan that meets *your* needs. All of the companies have lousy coverage in some areas and great coverage in others so there will always be people raving/complaining about them (just like we do with the airlines!)
Most all of them will also allow auto-billing to a credit card so that's also a good way to accrue points.

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!

For 3 years we have had the Verizon NATIONAL plan, 150 anytime minutes with FREE nights & weekends for $35/mo, each extra phone is $20.
No roaming, dropped calls & every square inch of the USA including Alaska & Hawaii are covered. They also have AMERICAS COICE but that is 8o0% of USA.
Tell them Brenda Moran from Cleveland OH clued you in. ALSO you get a free phone at signup & every 2 years...........
