$80 might be reasonable if it was your only service and you were on
the road all the time. From the coverage map it seems to be a big
city thing.

So that is another $40 minimum, $55 with roaming?

What is the fine print on roaming-included coverage. Cingular says if
I have a plan that includes roaming, and use non-Cingular carriers
more than 50% of the time, they will cancel the contract.

Voice dialing seems to be an extra service. Mine is built into my
five year old phone, and the new ones. Is this two different,
overlapping things?

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