Sorry `Chris that you got a POS : (
but, thanks for sharing your information. It's what I was hoping when I
made the post. I've heard nightmare stories of people having
problems & stuck with their contracts. [X(]
I have to do my homework b-4 I committ to a contract.
Thanks, `Space

I use altell. I have a razor v3... it went for a swim and was in the bottom part of a lake for about 5 or 6 minutes till we could drive down and get it out of the mud, but, still works fine! I split a plan with my mom, on a nation plan. we have 2 phones, 2000 anytime minutes, free night and weekend, free moble to moble, nights start at 5, and my cirlce, all for 74.99 a month.

we have a verizon family plan.....700 minutes plus unlimited nights and weekends. i have a POS razor which i hate....but it gets me by. i enjoy verizon because whenever cingular, sprint, alltel, etc customers dont have a signal, i do!! haha

RE: ~ Cell Phone/Plans ?
 
Space,

We use the Verizon America's Choice Family Plan.

Yes, Verizon is slightly more expensive. But Nextel/Sprint is outrageous.

Verizon gives out the best phones for free according to everyone I know.

We pay $45 a month for 1000 prime minutes and $10 for every extra phone that wants to share those minutes.

I've traveled across the country many, many times in our company van, Verizon kicks everyone's azz when it comes to total coverage.

If I were a single user, I might get T-Mobile which has free Fridays and free calling after 7 p.m.

Just thoughts from someone who has possibly owned about every plan that is out there.

GrandPaDave 08-15-2007 11:37 AM

RE: ~ Cell Phone/Plans ?
 
Oh yeah, that $45.99 includes free weekends, free evenings and free in-calling.

Unlimited Texting and Pictures and Video Messages for $20 extra on each phone.

I would be careful with any cellphone rebates. Wirefly still owes me $200 even after reshipping the info 6 times with postal confirmation.

RE: ~ Cell Phone/Plans ?
 
the main reason i went sprint is cos all the others wanted like a 500 dollar deposit cos i have no credit. and i always have signal they just always jack up my bill like 50 extra a month for some bullcrap. and the razr phone is the biggest pos ever invented but it was free so yeah, cant complain but i still do haha

Chris, is prepay out of the question for you?

as much as i use my phone prepay would most likely kill my wallet lol

RE: ~ Cell Phone/Plans ?
 
I've got one of the razor camera phones but it and the verison contract are notmine. It's in my g/f's name. If it was in mine I could get a UPS discount on the plan.

We have 600 minutes that we've never maxed plus free after 9pm and weekends. We can also call any other verison phone and not use minutes.

RE: ~ Cell Phone/Plans ?
 
I have a Samsung SGH-A707 aka Sync from AT&T. I have a blue one, my g/f has the red one, we're on the Family plan that has 1400 anytime minutes/unlimited nights/weekends/long distance/mobile to mobile, 200 text/media messages for $110 a month. I love the phone, except for the fact that AT&T has limited it's abilities for customization and modification. For example, the phone as it ships from Samsung can handle ringtone files up to 600kb, AT&T branded phones limit ringtone file size to 300kb. You can't change the banner on the main display which displays "AT&T" all the time. It does have dedicated music control "buttons" which are heat activated, touch sensitive. It has a large 2.2" internal display with awesome 240 x 320 resolution, a 2mp camera, and dual speakers so you can get stereo separation from your mp3's.

I have since skinned mine with a skin from bestskinsever.com, the skin gives it a glossy appearance and protects it from scratches and whatnot and covers roughly 95% of the phone's surfaces. I've also paired it with a Samsung WEP410 Bluetooth headest and gotten a Bluetooth dongle for my PC so I can transfer ringtones I make as well as wallpapers/music/videos to my phone via BT. I'm not impressed with the 410, beyond the looks of it, so it's soon to get retired in favor of a Plantronics Discovery 665.
