What cell phone network?
Hiya,
As some of you may know, I'm travelling to work in the States this summer. I've decided on Santa Cruz, CA (if anyone has any advice let me know) and I was wondering what is a good value, pay as you go cell phone network. I'd just want it for basic calls and messaging (do Americans use messaging?)
Thanks,
David

I'd say that the best networks are probably Verizon and Sprint -- Verizon for overall coverage and network robustness, and Sprint for network performance within it's more limited area -- but T-mobile and Cingular should be fine as long as you're in urban environments, and don't have critical appointments during rush hour and other peak hours.

I'd put this in 'huge' if I could be bothered.
It's shit. If you can get a line, your call will probably be dropped. The handsets are bollocks and you can't use a 2G handset without your account being suspended. Furthermore, get this, you CAN'T USE YOUR 3G PHONE TO SURF THE WEB.
That's right: you can only use 3 services.
It's so crap.
