Need cell phone advice.

Hey everyone, I'ma postin' this 'cause I am sick and tired of Cingular/AT&T/whateverthefuck it's called. I've had the same number for over 2 years, and my original AT&T wireless phone broke several months ago, which forced me to buy a new phone (which is an absolute piece of shit) and is Cingular (which is a piece of shit provider.) so I'm asking you all, who would you recommend? Looking for a good, cheap plan (like $50/month or so) with lots of text messages included...unlimited would be a major plus, and cool and efficient phones as well. Thx in advance.


*edit* I can't use Metro PCS, because I need nationwide coverage.

Re: Need cell phone advice.

Metro PCS has a nation wide plan, or long distance it think but ya dont get nextel unless you wanna spend thousands of dollars ******s! but ya when my contract is up im getting verizon my bro has it and is great plus i can get hooked up with really nice phones like the chocolate...

Dont go to nextel/spirit, horrible service, horrible customer service, all around bad, Metro I heard from alot they suck, verizon is not bad, but as far as cingualar goes, I have a good plan for $50 a month, so with taxes and all of that jazz, it comes out to $75 a month, 1200 daytime minutes 1500 text messages, and whatever daytime minutes u dont use it gets rolled over to the next month, as for any type of cell phone, they are all pieces of shit, no matter who u have, DONT GET A RAZOR JUNK, I heard blackberries are the nicest

I looked at Metro and they have California coverage in some places but not L.A....and L.A. would be a place I would need it. I've also heard Metro is hell.

Yeah, I've heard lots of bad shit about Razors. I know one person who's Razor fucked up on them twice and twice they had to get a new phone, covered by the provider, of course. And I agree with ya on Blackberries. Right now the option I'm looking at is t-mobile. Seems they have unlimited text plans and that's a major plus for me.

Quad-band international phone!!!! That's sooooo what I need! Just wondering how the rebate shit works...like, how much I'd actually be paying for the phone it self....

t mobile = .30 cents a min to canada.

better than any other long distance plan.

.45 cents to talk to ppl in England.

Sounds good...Thx for the feedback.


I've decided to give t-mobile a try. Gonna see if I can get that special in a tmobile store tomorrow.

Metro PCS!!! all you pay is $56 and thats tax included. You dont worry about anything. Get metro I am telling you. About the service thing. I never had any problems with it.

edit: And you can keep the number I had T Mobile before and when i switched to metro and i kept the number

Deutche Telekom ( T-MOBILE ) its the way to go.

I know a bunch of people who have the cheapest myfaves plan, and barely spend 100 mins. Ive had all services.. From Sprint, Bellsouth that was later known as Cingular.. you name it. They are all crap. The only service I would consider besides Tmobile is Verizon, but they are just way expensive.

Blackberry Pearl looks nice but it ain't as good.

I'd go for the Dash if anything.

but yeah.. Go T-mobile, but watch out with those t-mobile Mall stores.. they are independently owned by other peeps.. they tend to rip you off, so try to deal directly with T-mobile, in fact, go to AMAZON, you can get the phone for free and some money to keep

even though i have cingular and like it, internatianlly speaking, t-mobil is better... locally though cingular rocks.. exept for their stupid phones.

**edit** i have verizon wireless not cingular.. woops.

Amen to that. Cingular's phones suck ass.

cingular + iphone FTW!!!

I'm in love with Verizon. Amazing coverage. I don't think i've ever NOT had service...

I have Cingular and I pay $140/month for 4 phone lines. I found this on a deal website.

Sprint.com - great cell phone plan deals (repost) Historically, existing SprintPCS customers could get excellent deals by renegotiating their contract, especially when speaking to the Sprint Retention Department. Those deals were meant for existing SprintPCS customers only, but now there's a way to get a great deal for new Sprint customers. To get a great deal for new customers: 1. Click here. 2. Under "Sprint PCS offer", enter email address [email protected], enter your zipcode, and press signup. 3. The next page appears and shows a Motorola KRZR phone and a 500 minute plan for $30/month. On the very left side of the screen where it says "More Sprint PCS Options", press "More Phones" to see a list of phones available using this employee discount. After you select a phone, press "Individual Plans" on the left side to see a list of plans available with this discount. New SprintPCS customers qualify for up to a $100 mail-in rebate if you purchase one of the phones on their list. According to the terms on that page, "Rebate total may not exceed the total purchase price of the phone," so the following rebate amounts should apply on the phones: * Samsung A900M for $30, and the rebate should give the $30 back. * Palm Treo 700WX for $250, and $100 rebate is available. * Motorola KRZR for $198, and $50 rebate is available. * Blackberry 8703e for $150, and a $100 rebate is available. This deal includes unlimited night & weekend minutes, nights begin at 7pm, Vision and Power Vision for free, unlimited SprintPCS-to-SprintPCS calling, free long distance, and numeric paging. Text messaging costs $0.15 each, but excessive text messegers can later get unlimited text for $5 or $10 per month. Available plans are: * 500 Anytime minutes for $30/mo * 1250 Anytime minutes for $50/mo * 2500 Anytime minutes for $100/mo These are great deals, especially since they include Power Vision which usually costs $15/mo extra. Sprint may not have the best quality wireless reception in the nation, but they do have some of the best prices and best customer service we have ever dealt with. This deal is for new SprintPCS customers. For existing SprintPCS customers who want a better deal on their plan, check out deals for existing Sprint Wireless customers. Sprint.com

i dont get any service in my room from verizon so i have to go outside of my room. literally i step out of my room and i have service

another place i dont get service is my schools parking deck.. and everyone else does

ive got verizon and i must admit its got amazing coverage across the country and the world..or at least the Caribbean. only down side and what i hate the most is that nobody i know has it so i cant mobile to mobile anyone but my fam. once my contract is up im getting the iPhone with cingular and talking all the fuck i want.

METRO PCS FTW BITCHES !!!!!!!!!

Cingular World offers the best long distance amongst all carriers.

i have T-mobile and i havent' had any sort of issues with it for the 3 years i've had it i think. Right now i'm on a family plan with a mate so i'm paying 70 a month for a 1000 minutes myself. I don't think i hear too many people complain about t-mobile ever. As far as phones go, yea dont' get the razor anymore, it sucks. I have the Blackberry Pearl now and let me just say, it's fucking awesome. It's sort of like a mini computer. Plus i have a 512mb SD card and i'm straight jamming to music and so on. If you can get it, get it. The little ball on it also seems to hold its own. The phone came with a game like pong and i've played it like crazy and the ball is still perfect. Has too many features for me to point out here, but you get the gist of it.

Thank you all for your input and advice. I have decided to go with t-mobile. I borrowed my mom's credit card and just ordered the BlackBerry 7290 with the $39.99 "Get more" plan, with 600 anytime minutes unlimited nights/weekends, WorldClass International Service (FREE), UNLIMITED text messages for $14.99 and rush shipping @ $12.99. I should get the phone by Friday. The only downside: I have to change my number, but whatever.

OuterHeaven MOBILE!!!

Out of curiosity. Why did you go with the 7290 instead of the 8100 (pearl).

Don't like the pearl's key set-up.

I went into T-Mobile recently to possibly upgrade my phone. I currently have the Samsung T809. I love the phone, but I need a phone that does more. The sales manager told me to wait a few months because T-Mobile is supposed to be coming out with a newer phone with a slider keyboard that will be a cross between the Dash and the MDA. I'm not in a rush, so we will see...
