brad,
I had at&t and swithched to verizon because both my family and my wifes family switched to verizon... I'm glad I did. Being able to call them anytime and not have the minutes go toward the anytime minutes is nice... Now we both have cell phones for the same price as one cell and one home phone.

Let me tell you, after getting rid of the land line, It is soooo nice not being bombarded with all the sales/no-one there calls, not to mention the counter space the phone and answering machine took up.
