This book rocks:)

And boy did it help me choose the right plan. Highly recommended for anyone who needs a hand making sense out of all the millions of confusing plans.

A well written book on cell phones. Cell phone plans and services are changing as we speak now, but kudos to the authors for taking the difficult task of describing the services. If you find the cell phone plans and services confusing, this book is a good start. Without getting too much technical, the book describes the technical aspects of wireless technology in a easy-to-understand language. The FAQ was particularly useful.

Common-sensical, well-written, insightful.

Great book. Cuts through the double-talk you get these days from the big wireless providers and shows you the real deals.

This book simply does not cover the myriad options that come with wireless services today. The cover has a picture of a cell phone with an antenna on it. I don't think even home phones have antennas any more, but I wouldn't know first hand since I don't own a home phone. I desperately need a cell phone now and this book was not useful in making a decision easier.

I found the book to be outdated with much of the information irrelevant to the current state of technology and markets. It gets one star for at least having some basic info on classis technology. Even with that, it's not even a good paper weight. This is the first Amazon book that I returned.
