I went with a wireless provider and signed the mandatory 2 year contract, but it was bad even with the wireless carrier. Because of the severe (and ultimately fatal) illness of a close relative, and the need for contact as her primary care giver and after numerous attempts and countless hours spent trying to explain the importance of communication with hospitals, doctors and other facilities, I had to switch to another wireless carrier.
