DH and I use US Cellular. Separate contracts. I have a Blackberry & mine is expensive. Needed E-mail and Dial-up would not even work out here. Now have Satellite internet but it will be cheaper to pay out the contract than to pay the cancellation fees for it. Limited reception where we live for both of us. Sons and DIL have Straight Talk thru Wal-mart- unlimited text unlimited calling for $40 month. They do have customer service problems but for the price they cannot be beat. They use Verizon towers. Good Luck with your choice.
