You have to read the fine print. "Anytime minutes" don't always mean what it sounds like. I have never heard of free roaming...if you roam and use your phone while doing so, you usually will incur some kind of charge. I am with SPrint PCS and I get 500 minutes during the week and 1000 evening/weekend minutes. I also have wireless web (great for movie times when you are out and don't wanna stop for a paper)...caller ID, voicemail etc. I pay about $50/month. Long distance is about $0.15 a min.

The phone I have right now kinda sucks. It is digital only and sometimes cuts out on me. If I had a dual band (digital and analog) I would be a little better off. Make sure to get a cigarette lighter charger for your phone for the car so you aren't SOL in an emergency. Desktop chargers give a better charge. Car charger is good for a quick charge.

Depending who you go thru, make sure the salesperson goes over what the standard features in each package are..Voicemail and log distance etc. aren't always "standard"
