Info: Cellular South

This Mississippi CDMA carrier offers mostly unlimited plans on a two-year contract...they're more expensive plan-wise but cheaper phone-wise than the usual unlimited carrier...but that's the way contract carriers usually go...

For example, you can get a fair number of "free phones" with CellularSouth, and you can get the Motorola KRZR for $180. The Audiovox 6700 PDA phone is also available, something you usually don't get on an unlimited carrier.

On the other hand, it costs $50 a month for unlimited local calling. Hey, at least there is a long-distance-and-750-minutes-of-roaming plan included for not much more (roaming otherwise is 29 cents a minute on an unlimited plan).

Oh, and you don't get most calling features for free; if you want them, you pay extra for them, though the charges are usually only a few dollars a month extra. But long distance, texting and picture messaging are more expensive than usual, at $10, $7 and $6 respectively per month extra. So on other carriers (Pocket comes to mind) you can get all three services for the same price as long distance is...but wait...Pocket offers an all-inclsive unlimited plan, albeit without roaming, for MUCH less than CellularSouth's unlimited plan. Then again, CellularSouth has contracts and cheap phones...

So my verdict is that CellularSouth is a neat option for people in its coverage area...heck, they even have a data plan, making them a viable carrier, whatever your needs, if you live in CellularSouth's coverage area. Though better pricing, as far as "unlimiteds" go, can be found elsewhere...
