150 bucks out the door. Mail in 100 (?) dollar rebate if you subscribe to monthly 20 dollar plan. If you are an the microcell with that plan you and 9 others have unlimited minutes. ( only while on microcell. Only AT&T. )

I bought the unit outright and we just use our minutes.
 
So its a 2 year contract and i have to pay 20 bucks a month if i want it for 50?

I think the numbers are right, or very close. That's why a just spent the 150. I never come close to going over minutes. And didn't want another contract. But I guess you could cancel home service and save money there. Plus it's for 10 phones so of you have a chatty teen it also might be worth the contract.

It's not a perfect device. I am 90% happy with it but o am keeping it.
 
Internet access needed - pretty easy
Power neede -pretty easy
NEED be near window for the GPS to get location. - Not always easy.
Sorta big. Maybe the size of a Wii - Sits Upright

I usually get a call failed message every time I call someone. It's instantly failed and not a big deal, I just press DIAL again. Kinda annoying.

Expensive
