Thanks for the update....
The coverage area wasn't what I wanted with "our sponsor"...so, I went with NET10.

I am not having any problem with service---they also would transfer my old cell phone number to the new phone. The telephone was inexpensive and I can get refills on the minutes at almost any drug store, or on-line or right from the cell phone itself.

I am MUCH happier with this service than with SPRINT....and I like that I can "pay as I go". I am finding that I use the cell phone far less often down here than I did up North--not sure why. I also have unlimited long-distance on my land-line (maybe that is why I use the cell phone less often)..for $19.99/mo with Comcast...
