METROPCS
MetroPCS is a 'flat rate' carrier available in most major cities. They offer unlimited minutes wireless coverage for one price including text messaging, but their coverage area is limited. For the price, it may work well for you, or your family. Plans start at $35 per month and Family plans as low as $100 for 4 handsets. Metro PCS allows "unlocked" CDMA phones from other sources to be activated on their network. They have roaming agreements with other small carriers which allows Unlimited service in those markets. They have some useful options like fixed-rate calling to Mexico and a Group Ring for families.
Pros: Talk as much as you want, and they have all the digital features. Roaming is available, some of it unlimited. Cons: You must pre-pay, and Unlimited coverage is limited just to specific markets. Other Roaming is available at extra cost, but is free in "Extended Home" markets. Off-network Roaming must be activated and deactivated each time you travel, Roaming is not available outside the US. They are still growing so there are still some areas with poor or no coverage. Many features are not included in the cheapest plans.
