I have Verizon. It's the plan where the whole state of Texas is my local calling area. I never call out of state, so I can't recommend Verizon for any other plan.
Consider how much state to state calling you will probably be doing. See if you can get a plan that will give you coast-to-coast local calling if you think you will be calling home very often, or if you think you might be doing some traveling.
