Regarding the increasingly oppressive cell plans available in the USA, I wonder if any readers can share experiences about Page Plus Cellular, which apparently sells access to the Verizon 3G network, with decent data plans, at a sizable discount and without a contract.
Obviously, you need to have or buy a phone, but, like many others, my current Verizon contract is coming to a close, and I will then own my iPhone 4. I am perfectly happy with the phone itself, and I am ready to shop around.
