Let me tell you I think Sprint and Cingular are a huge ripoff on pagers. For a little motorolla talk about pager just numeric they wanted $20 to buy it, $20 to activate it, and $20 for the first 2 months up front. That is rediculas I have a guy that I went to from a communications company and I got a free pager the same one that would have costed me $60 costed me nothing. And the service is great. I will give everyone some information on where you can go. Go there and contact him he can help you no matter what state you are in.
