    You can likely do even better than that. Check out the comparison tool at Compare Prepaid Cellphone Plans. Pick the network you want, then the options, it will tell you the rates from lowest to highest.

    I think the opposite is true.. the real deals are only found on the Prepaid side. The only advantage to using Postpaid these days is to finance a new phone with 0% interest.

    Potentially aquiring Tailgater and Wally

    My church recently received a donation of these items and they don't want them. I can get them both for a small donation. I don't know anything about the tailgater.

    DISH Hacked - Websites are BACK ONLINE!

    All of Dish's network infrastructure went down, but none of the satellite infrastructure. Dish is winning this battle by hedging their legacy systems against the 'net. Gotta say, I'm impressed. Hackers haven't learned how to shoot down a satellite (yet).

    As an IT professional myself, I concur. The cost of implementing advanced security measures are often rebuffed by management/accounting as unnecessary because a breach hasn't been experienced yet. Then, it happens.
