[TR] Tangibly Triumph query

[Michael Ferguson]

I have AT&T and am delighted with their service, but I don't travel a  
great deal so I can't say how good it is elsewhere. Sounds like the  
RVers are happy with Verizon.

Looks like they offer a prepaid option too. When I searched for this,  
they asked for a zip code so I used 60606 (Chicago - ISOC :) ).  
Apparently, plans and pricing can vary from one market to another.
