I'm using my cell phone as my only phone right now. But it's pretty darn expensive. In my area (Cleveland), both SprintPCS and AT&T signals are just too weak for some of the buildings I'm in alot (including my brick apartment building). I'm well within the digital service area of both companies, but it's just too weak. I personally don't think SprintPCS and AT&T have been keeping up with the demand, and have seen many of my friends switch to more expensive servive from other companies after they grew tried of hearing the phone beep everytime they went into a little hole in the coverage. While $59.99 for 500 min (or whatever it is these days) with no long distance sounds great, one has to consider the level of service you'll get. I eventually went with Airtouch(now Verizon, used to be CellularOne) because no matter where I went, i always had a good signal.
