And calling out of state was the same prices as calling someone else at college. 500 mins a month.

Thx sprint PCS!


You're fancy. I have a long-distance phone card and pay by the minute, or drop a quarter in to the pay phone for a local call.

I have been using this Netscape Navigator. I really see if being around for a long time!

There’s this great new way to hear music before you buy it. Pick up the phone and dial 1-800 MUSIC NOW. Then start typing the artist name on your keypad. You can then sample 30 seconds of a song and skip forward too. What could be better.
