Info: CellularOne - San Luis Obispo

Available at www.cellularone-slo.com, this GSM carrier, serving California's San Luis Obispo county, is quite competitive.

First off, their unlimited plan, including long distance, is $40 a month...not bad for a GSM carrier. Text messaging is available unlimited for $10 a month, text + picture messaging for $15 a month and text + picture messaging + web for $25 a month extra. Considering that this company likely has an EDGE network in place, that;s not too shabby...

...and if you want multiple phones, your price decreases...to just $30 per additional line per month1 Not bad at all...

...and if you want to roam, the roaming rate is just 20 cents a minute. The coverage looks to be T-Mobile's though...but that just means you're getting a high-quality, though not quite ubiquitous network...

...and their phones are cheap! You pay about the same as you would for an unlocked phone on eBay with no rate plan, and they give discounts if you do sign up for a rate plan, which is nice. The first month of service isn't included in the phone price, but that's no big deal...the phone is cheap enough to offset that foible. And it's GSM so you can bring your own phone, if CellOne's admittedly impressive lineup still isn't enough for you.

So if you're in their area, CelOne-SLO is a pretty darn good deal. Plus they have a 300-minute plan for $20 for those who don't talk much and a $30 600-minute plan. Sounds like a home run to me...
