If you think your cell plan is expensive, let us introduce you to Voce. They are a premium cell phone service sold by Neiman Marcus and the MVNO supposedly has agreements will all GSM phone providers ensuring coast to coast. There is a $500 start up cost which gives you a “premium handset” with full insurance, accessories (Bluetooth headset, extra battery and 3 chargers) and sync software. But, looking at the above cellphones they don’t seem so premium.

The contract is easy though. A flat montly fee of $200 which provides unlimited domestic calling and roaming, unlimited messaging along with free live directory assistance and a “voice personal mobile assistant” who provides everything from technical support to driving instructions.

    Price of convenience. For the rich and/ or famous/ important. Cant be bothered by figuring out what you can use where, just pay a little extra and get it all without questions. Sounds like a great service, that i would use if i needed to / was a super agent like Ari Gold.

    if I had the bank to pay $200 out of pocket every month and was a constant jet setting individual I’d go for it… although the phones are a bit lack luster… since it’s a GSM network I’m sure you could get your paws on a hawt unlocked overseas phone no problemo.

    man that gold RAZR sure looks nice…even tho it is a piece of shit phone. I would go with that service if I had the money AND if they had a newer Treo, cuz I’ve had the 650 before but they newer ones look sweet.
