I have seen the greatest variety of pay-go phone options at WalMart.
Phones typically come with 10-15 minutes of air time included.
I would expect the best thing to do is buy the phone in Montana because
the phones sold in the store will probably have reasonable
Another thing is to go to these companies websites and look over
their coverage map.
They will usually show you where they cover or allow you to put in a
zip code and determine coverage.
Not all cell phones offer the same coverage.
What works in your neck of the woods might not work so well
I doubt large parts of Montana actually have any cell coverage. If
they're going camping, they'll need a satellite phone.

Smart phones radiate much more power than do "regular" cell phones.
A number of smart phones, including the Droid, radiate at powers that
reach right up to the limit as set by the FCC. These power limits are
imposed specifically for user safety because the RF signals used by
these phones are mic

I wouldn't mind so much if I didn't have to pay for incoming calls, as
in other countries. We get too many spam calls as it is--and have to pay
for some of them too! Had to change phone numbers twice to stop getting
junk calls.

It's the best basic phone you'll find. It's almost
indestructible--except when you drop it into a Big Gulp like Cavan did.
It has very good reception, is very reliable. The only thing missing is
speaker-phone feature, but the headphone is also very good.
