The sprint 69.99 is a great plan...you will never run out of minutes ever, cause you get free calls to any US cellphone. Sprint is loads better than US cellular...I used to have US and they have no coverage anywhere. Sprint customer service has gotten a heck of a lot better in the last year...and their data and 3g networks are awesome. But see for yourself, they give you 30 days to decide if u want to stay with them.
