iPhone Activation

http://live.pirillo.com/ – The iPhone succeeds where other phones fail, but a couple of things still need to be fixed; for example, you can’t synchronize your outlook contacts with your iPhone. AT&T said they could fix this problem for an additional $15 service fee.

This is the exact reason most people hate their mobile provider: extraordinarily high fees, expensive service plans, and way too many hidden fees and charges.

Every service provider has their perks and disadvantages. What service provider do you use? Are they good, bad, or mediocre?
