[il-talk] cell phone carrier question

[Robert Gardner]

I think one of the biggest determinators in picking a carrier is decided by 
those you call the most.  For example, my wife and I are on Verizon. So are 
our kids and almost all of my friends that I talk to the most.  That means I 
can talk to those other Verizon people without ever worrying about minutes. 
Verizon to Verizon is free.  Once, we called back to our kids from Hawaii, 
and everything was absolutely free even from there.  Also, I've never had 
any problems with Verizon, either performance or service.

These are all very good answers so far. And just the information that I 
would mean order to make an informed decision. I look forward to hearing 
more responses.
