digitaldisciplineokay, office shakeup seems to be taking place, including remote work environment. this means i might need a cell phone.
i do not grok the ways of wireless.
what do i look for? what do i avoid?
i figure i need voice mail and basic address book capabilities. beyond that, i want it to be relatively non-draconian in terms of costs.
yes, this means i might finally be shedding the last vestiges of my Luddite-hood.

Data point: I have T-Mobile, and have had them for about four years now. I like them. $60 a month gets me 600 anytime minutes, free nights (9 PM - 7 AM), free voicemail, a wireless HotSpot account so I can get online from any Starbucks or Borders or other HotSpot while traveling (knock $20 off the bill if you do not care about this), free long distance and roaming. Have taken the phone to Canada and used it wtih no additional hassle, and to Ireland and used it with a few fiddling changes. Two settings. Has worked in every major city I've been to and most of the minor ones. Best GSM network in the US.
