The call went back and forth for about 15 minutes. Finally the CSR caved in, giving me the sweet deal, but cautioning me that I was a special case, as they didn't offer that deal anymore.

I looked back on the post months later to show someone how also to get good deals. It was then that I realized the post (and good plan) were from 2002 or something...I was negotiating with a 5 year old plan that one of my "friends" had, lol.

BTW the $10 free incoming calls option is where it's at, IMO.
