Thanks for that response and your suggestions, Ed... I'll make certain that Sprint is going to renew my old Service Plan because its a lot less than what anyone is offering at the moment... only $29.95 for the 300 minute daytime voice (unlimited nights and weekends) plus $10 bucks for Unlimited, Anytime Data... plus tax comes to >$42 per month for the package... which they now longer offer...
and I'll check those phones out more carefully this time...
BTW, great reviewing jobs by your people... I wish I could find people like this... oh, that's right, I just did... thanks... JJJ...
