Cell Phone

[kreed5821]

Which do you use?

I've recently switched back to Cingular. Had a very bad experience with Verizon. After I got hurt and was out of work, I had my wife drop my cell service because I was at home anyway and needed to save the money. Well, when she dropped my phone, they switched hers to another state's towers and we recieved a bill for $180 in roaming! She called em and they said that her phone was messed up so she has got to pay it. (I don't think so!)

We switched to Cingular a week later and she called to cancel the verizon account (thats when we found out about the tower switch). They now say that she is under a new contract because she changed the plan in December...lol. I told her to make sure that they cancel it and tell them that she never agreed to a new contract. What a bunch of con artists!

stay away from suxtel........their customer service sux and the rate plans are WAY overpriced. And 2 way gets old fast...when yer drunk friends think its funny to yell into their phone at 230 in the morning when your sleeping.

Verizon..... Nextel was great until they mergered with Sprint.

 

[DeathShadow]

Verizon and Nextel are both crap here!

 

[timmey27]

T-Mobile...Greatest All Around The Nation!!!!!!!!!

From my experiences, the quality and sensitivity of the phone has more to do with service quality than the actual provider does. When I started with verizon I got a cheap motorola prepaid phone, and the service was disappointing, forget about making calls indoors, my phone wouldn't even get enough signal to ring indoors. Then I got a cheap kyocera phone because i spiked the moto into the driveway, and the service with verizon became excellent. Same thing with cingular, I started out with a motorola v220 camera flip phone, and I was hard pressed to find a place where I could have a clear conversation, then when I broke it for the THIRD time I bought a $30 nokia on ebay and I haven't found a single place where my signal is weak enough to get any kind of crackling. After this, i'm never buying a motorola again.

I feel the same way. I owned a Motorola T720 and had it replaced 8 times at the store becuase it was junk. I have had 2 nokia phones before hand. I ended up breaking my motorola completly and had to use a borrowed sony ericson which sucked as well. I am now back to nokia and can actually have a conversation in my basement unlike any other phones..

Sprint and T-Mobile are not even an option here. We can get Nextel but not Sprint...lol. My new razor with Cingular is the only one I've had that we can talk inside our house with.

I've had two Motorola T720's with verizon and a Lg with verizon and two nokias with cingular. Now the razor is the best yet as far as clarity and reception.

Verizon and Cingular are the way to go here, Sprint and Nextel suck balls. The nextels always cross signals and you always hear other peoples conversations for split second intervals and get ripped off on the side, and sprint just always loses calls on you.

The most affordable fone ever. Tracfone.

 

[yamarider]

what? tracfone? affordable? dude, those *******s rape you with your pants on! the phones are cheap as hell, but the actual cost for minutes is outrageous.

 

[jccuiser78]

Nextel works the best here,and I have a phone that can get rained on,dropped and take all kinds of sawdust and crud.The plan I have is 1000 anytime and 500 direct connect(good for workmates/girlfriend connections)-$80/month ,thats 100% tax ductuctable,because you can set is up as a bussiness account.Nextels phones are not dainty little things-they are very tough
p.s.they have no roaming charges

We use verizon. I have a samsung a650 and its pretty good for how cheap it was. I cant reception just about anywhere except in my school for some reason. The phone was like 10 bucks after we set up a plan. Never had any problems, we have our whole bill combined into one, we have the regular phone, cell phone, and internet all in one bill. Its not too bad, im not sure of the exact cost each month.

 

[warrior350]

Motorola's are crap IMO. I used to own a V710 and had it replaced 5 times for various reasons. Not to mention I have had friends have Motorola's crap out on them. I now own a Samsung and love it, had it for two months and zero problems to date. That wasn't so 2 months after I got my Moto...

 

[mattd]

I got a motorola v710 and i havent had any problems with it and i had it for like 8 months now. I dont know what you do to your phones warrior350.
