My StarTac is CDMA on Sprint. They still support it, and it still works on analog. That option is expensive, at $.89/minute. Still, I've used it a few times, and every time I was quite happy to pay the toll.

In fact, the main factor which is keeping me from "upgrading" my handset is losing the analog coverage.

The whole world is digital now and you are probably going to lose that analog phone soon. Even TeleAid is shutting down all analog operations at the end of the year.

I realize that. But before analog completely goes away, digital coverage will get better. And I will have used my handset for all its worth.

Actually, it will be somewhat of a relief when analog no longer is a factor. Some of the new handsets look pretty good. My current plan has another advantage though; I have no contract. I did allow Sprint to give me a one-year contract once, but that was one year out of ten. I'm strictly month-to-month, and can change providers on a whim (not that I get many whims).

Well thats all fine and dandy, just as long as you don't use like 1000 minutes a month.

There is one potential situation where I would use 1000 minutes in a month, and that's talking to work. And then, I pay something like $.40 per minute for those minutes not included in my plan, and would expense them to work. In short, I don't care. But I'm not self-employed, and don't have the benefits or the liabilities of such.
