I'm thinking about getting a cell phone (and getting rid of my land line), IF I can find a plan that is cheaper then my current phone bill.

The problem is, I don't understand what a lot of the crap listed in the plans I'm looking at mean. (I'm looking at Sprint/Nextel, btw, because I get a discount through work for their line of phones/plans.)



Okay... no roaming charges means that no matter where I am with the phone, I don't get charged extra, right? I'm pretty sure that's what it means.

But talk nights and weekends.... so if it's not on a night/weekend, then it would come off of my anytime minutes, right?

And unless it's some exceptionally weird plan, I should be able to call both other cell phones and land lines, right? (The only reason I ask is I saw something on a couple other plans that seemed to differentiate between unlimited talk and unlimited 'mobile to mobile'.)

Been on sprint about 6 months, it's been fine.

And yeah mobile to mobile doesn't mean cellphone to cellphone, it means cellphone on sprint to cellphone on sprint (or whatever carrier.)

There's no diff between calling a land line and a cellphone with another carrier. Takes off your minutes until night/weekend hours come in to play.

One thing to note is whatever your plan says it will cost per month, in your head add $5 - $7 for "taxes" and other weird shit.
