James Hewfanger asks: "Cnet.co.uk has run an article on the five best cell phone services in the UK. These include a text-based service that gets you the number of a licensed cab company in London, Google Maps and Gmail on your phone, a service that can tell what artist and song you're listening to, an online service that backs up all your cell phone contacts and a text-based service that answers any question you can throw at it. What, however, are the five best cell phone services in the US?" Wirefly's cell phone plan comparison tool gives a good up-to-date look of all cell phone plans on the market.

    There's also Alltel (or is that Altel?) and in some of the rural areas there may be a few independents left, but for the most part they've all been swallowed up. Just about everyone else resells service on one of these 6 (Verizon, US Cellular, Cingular, TMobile, Sprint, and Alltel).
