T&T: New STORM

[Jean & Michael]

  We are also considering a Storm, however I understand there is a $10 
monthly fee for the GPS usage. At that fee rate I could soon buy a handheld 
GPS with free use.Our current phones are a couple of years old & don't have 
GPS so I haven't really looked into it. Do all the cell phone companies 
charge a fee for GPS?
