Portland area, GTE Mobilnet:

Plan 9 :-) 31c/min day, 11c/min night/wknd, $15/month, 7c/min forwarding

Eat your heart out :-)

(Requires a two-year lease, but month-by-month rates are only 2-4c more.)

New York City area, Non-wireline service:

	$29 per month
	$0.55 per minute daytime
	$0.35 per minute nights/weekends

This is the most popular rate.  There are others for high or low
volume users.

	Chargeable time begins when the called party answers, for
both incoming and outgoing calls.
