What cell phone deals should I get. First time buyer

these days, cell phones and their over the top deals are a dime a dozen.

tmobile is offering a free phone wiht activation fee of course and unlimited weekend and night minutes. 250 whenever minutes. local calls only. for 29 bucks a month

sprint is 34.99 but with limited weekend and nights like maybe 3000 which is alot anyways and 300 whenever minutes

verizon is the one that fucks you up the ass with their rates

what do you guys have???? i don't think im going to use up 250 min in a month anyways. i don't talk on the phone much. jus the important info then business

I have been using Tmobile (Voicestream) for about 1 year. I started with the 500 whenever minutes & unlimited weekend minutes, now I upgraded my account to 600 mins. for free. btw I'm paying 39 $ per month. neved had any porblems with the service...

in short: highly recommended...

I have an Audiovox, they're sleek and very easy to use. Plus I get some cool games with Verizon

umm i honestly dont know what to say...

if you dont know anyone that sells you are liable to get fucked someway. my best advice is talk to as many people as you can, esp those with the phones you are looking at. there are a lot of similar plans with a LOT of similar prices, but the details are what will get you. some plans have great services, others great features. shop around and try not to get lassoed into a long term deal|

Believe everything they tell you and sign your name to everything they put in front of you. Don't worry, thats just the 'procedure'.

ever since i moved and canceled my contract w/ cingular, i haven't reconnected my cell phone and i dont miss it at all. i hate cell phones...i hate how people can always get in touch with you or they can tell if it's on or off by how soon your voicemail picks up yada yada yada....

I have been selling mobile phones on and off for 3 years now. Its really hard to advise you on who to go with since service plans vary from market to market. I can drive 45 minutes from here and have no clue what is going on. Just shop around a bit and find the one with the best promotion for you.

All you have to do is understand a few things.

You are going to have to sign a contract. You will get a better deal with a 2 year, but I usually advise people to go with a 1 year.

You will have to pay an activation fee. Usually 25$ to 35$.

If you do lose or break your phone while its under contract. Its going to be a bit more expensive to replace then you originally paid for it.
