Switch your LD and Cell Phone to Working Assets. (Anti-NSA Spying)
They are a Progressive company who's purpose is to use profits to help Progressive causes. I've been with them for many many years.

Working Assets vs. AT&T, BellSouth, Verizon and the Bush Administration
Where We Stand on Big Telecom and Spying on Americans

In light of new revelations about the big telecommunications carriers' handing over domestic calling records to the National Security Agency, you should know where Working Assets stands on the NSA’s increasingly alarming activities.

Working Assets believes that the warrantless monitoring of phone conversations ordered by the Bush administration is illegal and unacceptable. We also unequivocally oppose the disclosure of domestic calling records to the NSA by our nation’s telecommunications providers. As reported yesterday in USA Today,1 AT&T, Bell South and Verizon sold customer call records to the NSA. Working Assets would never, under any circumstances, give (let alone sell) records to the Bush administration without a warrant or a court order.

In fact, as Working Assets’ President, I recently signed on to an amicus brief supporting the ACLU’s law suit against the National Security Agency. We are the only telephone company participating in this law suit.

3. Roaming charges? No, thank you. We travel too much.
My minimum requirement for cellphone service is true nationwide service, which means in particular never paying a roaming charge.
