I use a Nokia 5190 PCS(digital) phone. the durability, features, and sound quality are among the best I've found in its price range. My service is through Pacific Bell Wireless, and I pay $75 a month, which includes 600 minutes anytime, 1000 weekend minutes, 1st incoming minute free, caller ID, voice mail, paging, call forwarding, etc. etc. etc. Additional airtime on this plan is around 20 cents a minute.
