I have had that plan ever since the day T-M began selling service here. Am in the East Bay but use well over 2000 min. a mo. on that plan all over. 70% useage in East Bay, 20% elsewhere around the Bay, and 10% useage everywhere else from here to Fresno to L.A. and Las Vegas.

I would suggest (as last replier did) to use the 14 day buyers remorse time period and use it in the most frequently used areas. I can say our service is good but that doesn't say how good it is where you in fa...
