        The challenge with these Wireless Plans is there is a contract involved and you can be locked into a particular Wireless Plan up to 2 years.  Next if there are  coverage issues in your home or at your place of work or where you frequent and if you move within the next  2 years and there are coverage challenges with the next home or the next place of work you are stuck with a phone that does not work in the places you frequent.

       Ideally Wireless Plans should have Wireless Cell Phones that are not just dependent on the location of cellular phone towers.   How about a Wireless Cellular Phone that not only has tri-band capability and will work in both the US and in Europe but has a wi-fi technology that allows it to connect to the internet and work as a VOIP phone. 
        Trying to use a Wireless Cellular Phone in a  steel reinforced office building where traditional service is poor the phone will connect with any wi-fi network and use a system that is only dependent on high speed internet or at least DSL.  This system is also capable of using existing Telephone  Assessories producing a total system for any small to medium size business.
