How on Earth...

...does one compare and contrast cell phone companies/services/phones/prices?  

I've had Verizon since 2000.  I don't have a problem with them, but I'm thinking of changing phones and if a better package is around, how do I find out about it?

Consumer Reports? It's accessible online from the public library (you'll have to login with your card # & pin at that link). Also a google search for {cell phone comparison} brings up several sites devoted to this topic.

disclaimer: I've had a cell phone for all of 2 weeks; it's prepaid, so my options are much more limited -- making comparison shopping relatively easy -- but I used the above methods to pick the carrier (Verizon).

I'll check that out, thanks.

I have a subscription to CR, which I never use. Thanks for the library tip, that's going to help! :-)
