sugar_n_spice Posted September 30 Report Share Posted September 30 one suggestion, dont get sprint. service SUCKS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdancer Posted September 30 Report Share Posted September 30 Im into Nextel service is fairly good. Ya know today its pretty much a win win situation with cell phones. They all have their advantages and disadvantages. The best service by far is VERIZON. The cheapest service SPRINT. The coolest bells and whistles on phones NEXTEL ( but you pay a shit load of taxes for them). At & T somewhere in the middle. God awful has to be Cingular ( unless your in Jersey ). The best way to find a plan is to get a cell phone that you like/or can afford then go with plans from there. Here's a link: http://reviews.cnet.com/wireless/0-1923401.html?tag=st.re.9870989.dir.1923401BTW my service plan is 59.99 for 500 Minutes, Unlimited Free Incoming Minutes ( Which is great so you can have people just call you) and Free Direct Connect which is the walkie talkie, 10.00 for Free Nights and Weekends, 5.00 for Unlimited Text Messaging and E-mails, I pay like 95.00 $ a month. Which is a little steep, but I get great service. Check the link! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check the link! i have the same plan. and i love it. if you are a cellphone hog... then nextel is great. i use an avg of 2500 minutes a month and i nbever go over my plan. i used to have cingular and although the rate plan was lower..i usually ended up paying more than i pay now! service has definitely improved since i got my phone (ove ra year ago) and they will be launching the direct connect nationwide in about a year!

LogiKandReasoN Posted September 30 Report Share Posted September 30 Im in the same situation with Nextel, my bill is about a hundred a month, but it doesn't spike often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codica3 Posted September 30 Report Share Posted September 30 Originally posted by sugar_n_spice one suggestion, dont get sprint. service SUCKS. And definitely don't get Voice Stream. I have Cingular, but I heard the service sux for NY and anywhere out of the Central Jersey area so you probally shouldn't get that either.

All depends on where you live. Just about every plan sucks on Staten Island. There are too many dead zones... Brooklyn every service is good there are almost no dead zones... I am not sure about Queens and Bronx. Manhattan anything is also good. I have the Motorola Time Port. Which is a great phone. My service is Sprint. yes there service isnt the best but for unlimited minutes at $15.00 a month through a " Demo Line " through my boys store. I couldn't pass it up. The time port is TRI BAND so you can basically get service anywhere. Yes it may roam on occasion if you have it on auto mode but if you get a plan with free roaming it wouldnt matter. If you don't have a plan with free roaming I would suggest you didnt put the phone on auto mode unless you have to... This is one of the better phones to get. It stores around 500 phone number. 5 Per person. Within the phone book it has listings for WORK, HOME, CELL, BEEP, and FAX... Which worked great for me with my job and all the contacts... So which ever plan you get the TIME PORT which is basically the same phone as the Star Tac only a step up as far as options... That is the phone I would choose... If you want to hear about all the plans...My friends store carries.Sprint, Nextel, Omnipoint, and At&t... Sorry they dont carry Verizon... I dont know why... But they dont...The Number 718-857-8888 They are on Flatbush by St. Marks in Brooklyn... Hope I was of some help...Peace... Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgmodel Posted September 30 Author Report Share Posted September 30 i need it for Manhattan/Qns/Upstate-snow/beach-surf.... I think at&t sounds like the best bet since i had them before and my current regional/longdistance carrier for the home is at&t maybe theyll cut me a discount...i was considering the timeport however the guy at this shop told me that the timepor that he had was only for sprint and i heard nothing but bad reviews from sprint...im might give him a buzz towards the end of the week... thanks b. really appreciate the info...

ou812 Posted September 30 Report Share Posted September 30 I'd ahve to say AT&T.............I have their nationwide service. I usually get pretty good signal no matter where I go. Verizon I'm not sure about. My friend has Verizon and there is this completely annoying echo in the background and it cuts off everytime I talk to him, although that could be his phone. Nextel I can't stand, Everytime I try to call a friend who is on Nextel it never goes through, and it won't even forward you to a voicemail, just says "Nextel subscriber can't be reach try call again later" WTF is that? Cincular might suck, not sure.............my Blackberry is on the Cingular network, usually get's decent signal. Maven't heard much about Voicestream (T-mobile) lately. Last I heard they weren't too bad though. Bottom line though, all cell phone services are a joke, it just depends on your sense of humor on how much shit your willing to take. But i'd stick w/ AT&T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elementx Posted September 30 Report Share Posted September 30 Originally posted by dgmodel if could find out for me id really appreciate it... thanks again... (btw do i have to buy the fon from him or is it free with service etc) He just told me that the TimePort for AT&T was discontinued. He said if you want a good free phone. He said to wait for the promotion on the V60. ABout once a month they offer the phone for free with a new activation. If you want give him a call and find out what you want.... Ask for Mike... He will explain all the plans.. And let you know when they should be running a promotion...Peace... Sorry about the TIME PORT... I didnt know they were discontinuing it...

somebitch Posted September 30 Report Share Posted September 30 i used to have a timeport, it really isnt anything great. its the same as any old startac, its just silver with a blue screen... i wouldnt go nuts trying to get one of those. i didnt particularly like the one i had. i ended up trading it in for some samsung bs, then i dropped that and got the i60 (which blows) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
