Let me start by saying in Milwaukee, Cellular One charges $10.00 per month and 40 cents per minute prime / 27 cents non-prime. Obviously, you'd be better off driving up here to make your calls. Call forwarding is offered. No answer transfer (forward call if no answer) is also available. Conference calling is also available. As far as I know, the only "ESS" feature that is not offered is speed dialing. Cellular phones are wonderful. There have been times that I couldn't have surrvied without mine. They are, however, expensive to operate.
