I use Verizon. Never a problem; rarely do I have dropped calls. Price could be better. I pay like 42 a month (including taxes) for 300 minutes peak and 3500 weekend and offpeak. I love my Motorola v60c. :grin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only speak from experience. All i know is Verizon, and I think they have the best coverage nationally, which I need because I'm often roaming. Plus I make many long distance calls, so the 3500 minutes is exactly what I need. It has kept my phone bills down. And again, I've never had reception problems, but I'm not sure if that's because of the phone or Verizon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehacker Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 what's so great about www.verizonreallysucks.com is the guy who runs 2600 magazine registered it and set it up, soon after verizon bought www.verizonsucks.com themselves in order to prevent anyone else from leasing the name and generating bad PR.i'm very happy with at&t wireless.i had some issues with my plan a little while ago.they took away the bonuses of my introductoryplan and stuck me with a huge bill once my monthlyminutes were still at 150 and the loss of nights&weekends really hit me hard...so i explain this to a friend of mine who worksat the at&t on university pl (at astor pl) andhe let me know about the plan i currently still have...at&t's great so long as you go out on a limbto be an informed customer and request informationon their offerings, and sometimes if you sweettalk the reps on the phone (and especially intheir stores - cuz those guys are of course hungryfor commisions) you can get a new plan before it'sactually advertised and officially available.i pay $29.95 a month for 250 minutes.i tacked on the extra $9.95 for nights & weekends.not too shabby.oh yeah and i got the new/tiny nokia for $50instead of $150 when i signed up that dayin the retail store...was activated a half hour later.i think since at&t's been around the longest,they have the largest most reliable networkand they're constantly keeping tabs on theircoverage in order to stay competitive withthe newer players.

bigpoppanils Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 I have been using Voicestream for about 3 years. Some billing problems, but much better than Verizon (the first service i used). Great international coverage. AOL Instant Messenger works on select phones. They were also recently bought by a giant telecom in Europe called Deutsche Telekom. Its goal is to create a service spanning Europe and North America.Be careful of Nokias, especially the 8290. My Ericcson (T28 World)has been working without any problems for a year. My dad has the same phone, and he's had it for over 2 years without a problem. Samsung phones available as well. You might be better off not going to a Voicestream-only store in terms of phone choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dusted Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 How can you think about cell phones when poor little Iraqi children are starving to death? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycchic24 Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 i have a nextel. A lil bit more expensive for $70 a month but it includes 400 free outgoing peak minutes, free nights and weekends, free long distance, free web browser, no roaming and my fave FREE INCOMING CALLS ANYTIME. i am never over my plan and i talk ALOT (avg about 2500 minutes a month) bc this is my primary phone. it also has the unlimted 2way feature too Coverage for the actual cell calls could be better but the 2way is very good. customer service is great though and i've never had a biling problems. of course there are cheaper service plans, and they just came out with smaller phones, one similar to the motorola v60.

teklord310 Posted March 4 Report Share Posted March 4 I just bought a Timeport 270c(not the flip phone) to replace my old Startac which got jacked from my car Friday night. I kept Verizon because i'm happy with their service and haven't had a problem with them in 3 years. I get 3000 nights and weekends, 300 peak for $35 + taxes. Messaging is an extra $3 a month(up to 100 text messages) and web is an extra $6. Both aren't worth it in my opinion. They said I can return the phone in 15 days and get another one if I want to. I might end up doing that... this phone is a little big to clip on to myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dgmodel Posted March 4 Author Report Share Posted March 4 see this is the problem so many to choose from and whats fucked up about all these companies is that you have to sign a one year contract minimum... why dont they have like a one month testing period where you can pay the first month, and if you like it you buy the other 11 or something like that... its such a scam... its like imagine buying a car without a test drive... (derf i did it but you get what i mean...) its not fair to not even have the option... i think im going to write to the BBB and complain... but more importantly, so bottom line what should i do about a carrier??? so far majority of you say Verizon... should i just bite the bullet and go for them or should i still do some more research?
