We are not big cell phone talkers but recognize the importance and utility of having one. We each have a Tracfone (prepaid national cellular service) and each pay about $100/year for the yearly service that comes with a total of about 500 minutes. (this is 500 mins for the year, not per month). Unused minutes roll over to the next year and if you need more minutes you can buy them. So, my cell phone service runs about $8/month and works just fine for me. So far, reception here in TV and anywhere else I've been has been fine. Like another poster said, this is a nothing fancy service....no blackberry/internet, just basic phone service (with voice mail and text messaging)

For the minimalist cell phone user, this is a great way to go and it works.
