Thanks Mike. Yeah, not looking for a toy. :-) Calls, text, and pretty basic internet would be super. I think I'll go ogle some phones at various stores tomorrow. I might be tempted by a QWERTY keyboard though. I sent a text once on a friend's phone and OMG what a pain in the butt that is on a regular phone keyboard! Took me ages to write one sentence!

I think the iPhone is great but the reason I like it so much is that it provides me with entertainment 14 hours a day when I'm not home and can't get on a regular computer. Since you work from home, you might not use all of it's benefits as much...especially since you almost always have access to your computer. The iPhone rate plan is high but it's totally worth it to people like myself that can't leave it alone! Recommendation: if you're looking for a toy get a fancy phone... Otherwise any of the free phones will serve you well!

Granny Annie- thanks for the suggestion, I'd forgotten about that company. The coverage map says "strength varies" in this area. I'd be hesitant to sign up for that, sounds like it might not be the best for this area.

Jan- I'd love to have the phone itself, but I'm not thrilled with the plans I see for it. Okay I don't love any plan because it means I have to spend money, but I'm not convinced that's the best option. I REALLY don't care about games, I don't play any games on the computer anymore (well, other than facebook, lol!) but want to be able to make calls and send texts. Email and internet abilities would be nice for traveling, but I may need to start out ultra super duper basic.

Arg, I just want to throw my hands in the air again now.

Just stop thinking and get an iPhone. I was up until midnight last night goofing around on mine - Bejeweled is so fast on it, there are some great word games - and it's really handy when I'm traveling. I sneak text messages during meetings at work, I have lots of my songs on it, AND it has Tappy Tunes! Do I make calls on it? Maybe 2 a month. Oh, and I check my email.....etc....etc. And it's just so cool, I fondle it a lot.

Everyone I know who has signed up for AT&T has had to cancel their service and fight for refunds because they did not get what was promised. If you go with them, tape the sales call. You might try U.S. Cellular. We've been happy with them for 11 years.
