Depends on your need and useage. It's not my only service, and while I'm
in the office a lot, I'm also out frequently, and freqently *need* access.

Much is.

I don't know - you'll need to check the rates yourself. They get quite
complex, to say the least.

>What is the fine print on roaming-included coverage

*My* plan includes roaming. I assume that it applies to the EVDO card,
too. It hasn't been an issue yet. You'll need to ask.

That card cannot use voice over the line. My phone can voice dial. The
card is the card, the phone is the phone.

>$200-$150? Same price as modern phones.

Is *that* what it is now? I paid much less.
