with all the new cellphones and gadgets out there

what kind of cellphone and service you use and how big of a bill ?


I730 Nextel $199.99/month...unlimited plan

 

Nextel

1000 any-time minutes with unlimited direct connect. Free weekends and nights.

$55.95 + $19.95 for unlimited pictures and text messages.

I opted for the i860!

 

Sprint here. Two Sanyo vm 7400 multimedia phones(1 for kiddo). 3500 min/month plus unlimited nights and weekends and no roam or long distance. All for 199 month. I love it...any idea how many minutes a teenage girl can burn on weekends?!

 

Wow, you guys have some sick plans. I have a Sanyo RL4920 from Sprint. Spend $80 a month for a shared plan with my girlfriend. It's 500 minutes but free calling between the two of us.

 

I got T-Mobile but I’ve been with the company ever since they were called Arial, about 10 years. I still got my original plan called the “sweet 100”. I get true per-second billing and the first minute of all incoming calls are free. It’s $19.95 but time they whack on all the tax and everything it’s $25.13

 

Verizon $40 a month 400 minutes and 1000 Ver to Ver

My phone: My tried and true Motorola Startac 768

It makes calls and that is all....but it is great doing it. Resisting trading up to the new Motorola that Verizon is releasing.

 

We have Sprint. Dunno what plan, wife set all that crap up.

1. DO NOT GET A FLIP CAMERA PHONE (*^&%$ junk). Battery last about 10 hours, and thats only using the phone not the camera.

2. If you can help it...stay away from Sprint. A year and a half ago, we were told we could upgrade our phones after 12 months if we go with the plan we are on now...after the 12 months was up, we looked into it. Sprint told us that they changed their policy. So, for us to upgrade our phones, it would cost like $280.00.

W.T.F. ^^ mate? Thats not good customer service.

Anyway the plan we have is (I think) 500 minutes, free mobile to mobile, free long distance, no roaming, and for both phones its like 80 bucks a month (I think). I know, Im not much help, huh?


MY 2

 

My biggest problem with Sprint was their coverage. Horrible. I'm sure its improved but when I had them the coverage was really spotty.

 

I'm not too big into the cell phone bug. I have a Track Phone. No plans or contracts. You just buy the phone and then you buy cards that enable you to have airtime. When your time is up just buy another air time card. I really only use it because I commute 50 miles each way. Works for me.

 

I dunno about ya'll but Sprint is by far the best service in Colorado. All my friends have it and I converted the girlfriend from verizon.

 

As far as coverage....Sprint is ok here. There is only 2 spots were I cant get any service, and they are small spots.

 

Samsung VGA1000 camera flip phone (Free)
Sprint 300 min prime, unlimited nights/weekends and holidays, internet etc for U$52 per month after tax.

Fritz

 

3 phones on a Cingular 'Family Share Plan'.
I think we share about 1200 anytime minutes. Unlimited Nights and weekends, starting at 7PM. Free mobile-to-mobile with other Cingular customers. Text messaging on 2 phones.
Total bill is about $110 per month. My wife and I burn about 100 to 200 minutes per month each. My 19 year old son is way over 1,000 per month. Luckily, a lot of this is on the nights and weekends and other Cingular mobile.
The phones are a basic Nokia model, nothing fancy. Personally, I use my camera to take pics. No need for a phone to do this...
Yes, the kid pays his share of the bill. I still cannot figure out where he finds that much to talk about!

 

I've got Nextel. 400+100 anytime minutes, unlimited DC, free long distance, for about $60/month. I've got the i730 for a phone.

 

Nextel Blackberry 7520 here. $39.99/mo for some unlimited incoming plan + $10 unlimited nights & weekends + $49.99 for unlimited data plan (for BB).
