Clear had (has?) a deal where if you get home+mobile, you get half off
or similar.. it worked out to $60(?)/month or so. While their mobile
stuff was *excellent* around here, I couldn't get more than two bars
with the home unit. And that was after building a cantenna pointed at
the tower. My place is in a little bit of a dip.
