For the phone - I have a Samsung that was a freebie from Sprint when I renewed my contract.

I pay $69.95/month for 700 shared minutes between my phone and my wife's. Minutes between her phone and mine are free. Also, nights (after 7pm) and weekends are free.

No, there's no VOIP on the Qualcomm.

700 minutes that you share...damn I can do that in my sleep even with free mobile to mobile.

Sprint is fine as long as you stay on the highway and in towns, but Verizon has better service farther off the beaten path than Sprint does. (and yes, I have had both Verizon and Sprint service).

When I was OTR I had Verizon and I literally went coast to coast and from border to border with that service. Very, very rarely did I not have service and it was also rare that I was in roam.

Regardless of which service you go with, if you have a wife/family at home you want to call often, go with a family share plan and get a phone for them. This will save you a lot of money in the long run.

As far as brand of phone, IMHO LG phones are the only way to fly. I have owned LG, Samsung, Motorola, and Kyocera phones, and by far the LG's had the best performance out of all of them. The Samsung was decent.

What ever you do, do not buy a Kyocera phone. There is a good reason they are low priced.

I have Verizion and like they said, picks up about everywhere. About the only place where I lost signal for more than a few mins was Montana. I use a Samsung and have had no problems out of it. :P

I have a Motorola Razr3 and so does my husband. We have a plan with U.S. Cellular. I drive all over the country and my phone works great. I have a national plan so there's no roaming charges and I always get a signal. Only time I've had trouble is when I've been in El Paso, Texas. Phone wouldn't let me dial. Kept telling me in Spanish that the number was invalid. I contacted the customer service for U.S. Cellular and they told me to take my battery out for 15 minutes or so and then put it back in and it would find a tower and should work alright. It did just that. Our plan runs 1400 minutes with unlimited standard text messaging for both of us, unlimited nights & weekends, unlimited mobile to mobile, and free incoming minutes. Costs us about $140.00 taxes included.
