Cell phone plan/service in Greensboro NC?

I've a child in G'boro attending college. The ex-AT&T/Cingular pay-as-you-go plan is burning minutes at 3X the rate it does when the phones are in the in DC-area. I'm looking for suggestions for inexpensive pre-paid or subscription plan for that region. Thanks in advance

It seems like the best option in general is to examine what kinds of calls will be made and buy based on that. Does your child only call friends? Only receive calls? What provider are the majority of their friends using? Do they call home often? You call them?

If I remember correctly, I had a cingular plan that had 300 anytime, 5000NW for 39 a month. Of course that was over a year ago. Coverage as good, unlike cingular in Chicago.
