I have to say that this looks like a fairly good idea. A mobile phone that uses yours or any w-ifi connection and then cell tower for backup. Looks like all spots are currently filled, but you can leave email for notification when more spots are open.

  • In an emergency, 9-1-1 calls ME.
Hmm. That looks promising, although my preference would be a Motorola phone. Still, not a bad deal... one that I may be willing to take for a spin.

It would look even better if it used the Verizon network.  Sprint, at least down here, leaves a lot to be desired with very spotty coverage in lots of areas.  It's the reason I dropped the less expensive Sprint for Verizon.  But a good idea and they certainly make a good point about overpaying for cell and data plans.
