Concumer Reports just put a review on cell plans, service etc you should get a copy and read it. they are very logical and non baisis.
By the way they rated Verizion the best service in the Boston area if anyone wanted to know. Good luck. what ever sercive you pick try to stay away from long term contracts (over a year) A free phone is always good. What is a computer guy like yourself waiting so long to get a cell phone for anyways. I thought you would have had decades ago. With that resume of yours you could have built one. Good luck in what ever carrier you decide to pick
