@bobl: I LOVE my cell phone carrier. I have T-Mobile prepaid. There's no contract, no activation fee, no termination fee and no hidden fees. This last one means that outside of sales tax, all taxes and fees are includes. While the typical bell phone bill will be 20 - 30% over the advertised price due to taxes and fees, there's none of that here. Metro PCS (owned by T-Mobile) appears to be the same. I hated my first two cell phone carries. But now I'm so happy.
