| Goog I do think it would be good for consumers if google gets this. There needs to be competition out there besides at&t, sprint, and verizon....... Google could really shake things up. |

No offense, but if there companies competing isn't enough, I really don't see a fourth changing much... Of course, Google is a revolutionary company IMHO and they MIGHT offer a free service. If they did, I'd sign up for it, since I barely use a handful of minutes per month. Not even the cheapest plan is "cheap" enough for me... The only thing that makes sense is prepay.

| That's why there are prepaid services for people who don't use very many minutes and don't want the contract. You get the nice thing about getting to buy your minutes when you want and how much at a time, a cheap phone and not tied to anyone for 2 years. Plus if you have TM or GoPhone you can get a new phone all the time when they're offered to the public as prepaid or off eBay and not have to worry about calling someone to reprogram the phone. |

The thing that stinks is that I'd like to have data service, but it's kind of hard to justify the cost of the service and the phones... I'd like to have an iPhone type device, but I refuse to have to pay outrageous fees for phone service.
There is definitely a market for people like myself who would gladly purchase a $20/month plan that offered MORE than the standard today for 3X that price. I'm not looking for pure hard minutes, but rather a nicer phone and data service so I could surf the net and do things like that.

This all assumes that Google offers a quality service. They may be revolutionary but it still takes time to build a network let alone tune it so you don't have dropped calls. |

I have an HTC Mogul on the $30/month SERO plan from Sprint. Gives me 500 anytime minutes, unlimited nights/weekends, unlimited data, unlimited texting, and a bunch of other crap. |
