They are the cheapest of the 4 "major" companies, especially if you use a smart phone of any sort.
Not for what I want to do they're not and especially not for the level of customer service they provide.
But that's another sticking point with me. My wife and I were looking at buying a smartphone, not because we'll ever use any of the online functions, but because we know that sooner or later, we're going to have to replace our aging Palmpilots and they're simply not made anymore. If, for example, we bought new Palm Pre's, we would be required, not suggested, but REQUIRED to pay for a data plan with any of the major carriers, even if we never used it. By the same token, we've been paying some small amount for texting for years, even though neither my wife or I have ever sent a text message in our lives. We simply cannot get a plan that doesn't include it if our phones are capable of doing it.
I think that's a huge problem.
