We are with Alltel because they get the best service for where I live. My daughter has Cingular and she doesn't get reception where we live. I have a Razr that I've had for over a couple of years. I don't use it very much but sometimes it's handy. My husband, Jaci, my son-in-law, and me, all share a plan. We have free mobile-to-mobile with anyone else on Alltel and then have a "circle of friends" where we can add other's numbers to call free. I try to keep on top of the numbers that are called the most and keep them on the list.

Tink, you can probably get a phone through your daughter's plan and it will only cost you about $15 a month. Of course, you'll share her minutes, but if you don't use it much it shouldn't matter. It might be handy to keep with you in case you have a problem while driving. I only use about 30 minutes a month and most of that is my husband calling me.
