Prices range from $50 to $250 for the 820 phone depending on the service provider. I think GTE San Diego requires a 1 year-contract to get the phone for $100. Airtouch San Diego charges $200-$250, including extra charger and pouch, and offers a 50% discount on the first 3 months' service fee. Wireless retail outlets usually advertise $100-$150. $179 may not be a bad price if the service plan is good. Airtouch plans are $30-35 a month and 25-35 cents/minute once all your included minutes are consumed. Bottom line the 820 is a great phone!
