Cellphones - let me set the proscenium. October 23, 2012 8:04 am bowser

I am going to be switching cellphone plans so as to accommodate travelling in my new little RV.  Trying to research these things is futile; there are many plans, exceptions, limitations, and half-offers and it seems to be like comparing oranges, grapefruit, limes, and a couple of varieties of apples.  Someone else certainly has a better knowledge of these things than I.

What I want is unlimited talk minutes, unlimited long distance and unlimited data with the ability to tether to a laptop.  MetroPCS seems to be the best deal so far, but I don’t know.

Any thoughts?  I’d appreciate them.
