Just buy a used phone, turn it on and you are in business. We discourage long-term contracts. Some providers want to lock you into two-year contracts. Just say no. We liked Sprint PCS for users who make and receive calls within Southern California urban areas.
Sprint has no minimum contract nor early cancellation fee and the rates are pretty good.
Sprint has recently offered some exceptionally good deals on long distance for heavy business users. But coverage is limited. We liked Nextel for users who travel frequently outside of San Diego. It is tailored for businesses with multiple employees on this plan. If you feel you need to buy from GTE or Airtouch , you may want to check out the discounted rates offered by resellers, such as San Diego Wireless.
