There are eight primary cellular phone companies that provide service in Pennsylvania Sprint, AT&T, T-mobile, Verizon Wireless, Cingular, Alltel, US Cellular, Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile.
The first thing to decide when choosing a cellular phone service provider is whether you're looking for an individual or family plan. The second option to decide is how many minutes will be used in a typical week. Another option to consider is how many of those minutes will be used for long distance or international calls. Are there times that you will need wireless Internet service? Does a walkie talkie feature sound beneficial to you?
Family cell phone plans allow you to share a common pool of airtime minutes across multiple cell phones within the same family. This generally sums up to great savings and even free calls between family members. Note that a family plan can also be a great solution for a couple with no kids. Making sure you don't underestimate your minutes can save money and hassle in having to go back and reformate your service plan. You will be able to save some money if half of your calls are made after 9pm and on weekend day s. Most cellular phone service providers require a minimum two year service contract. Also know that 411 directory assistance cost between $.70 to $1.50 depending on the provider. Some plans offer that feature as an option built into the contract. If you are a traveling business professional, know that there is increasing support in Pennsylvania for a ban on cell phone use while driving.

Not really, the flip phones are becoming more of an older style. Right now the styles that are popular are the sliding phones, with slide out keyboards.

Often the best company is based on your personal experience and preference. However, AT&T has the nation's fastest mobile broadband network, and the largest international coverage of any U.S. wireless carrier. It also carries many of the more advanced smartphones on the market. http://www.att.com/#fbid=c9GRMvTEHVY
