We had NO long-distance because I couldn't find one that justified how little we would use it...then I chose SPrint because when I got my cell they offered me 50 FREE minutes...Verizon charged me $5 for picking Sprint...HOW???...arrrgh!! Just sent an email of complaint. Now I cancelled Sprint because I found out there might be tax payments and such...not worth the hassle...THere better not be a VERIZON charge for that!!!!!!!!
