If your chief consideration is affordability, then Sprint is the way to go.
I'd rather have Verizon service and coverage, but Sprint has them beat
hands down on price. T-Mobile, from what I hear, is deplorable along the
Wasatch Front. Cingular/ATT is getting back on its feet, but they seem to
have a standard policy against anything unlimited, period.
