cell phone provider, the phone and the service


New every 2 is up in a couple days. Now VERIZON is charging $10 each phone for data on all the phones that are in the new every 2. This will be an extra $20 bones every month and i have never even needed a phone to access internet or email. SO since I have no choice I am thinking of staying with them and bending over or going to at&t or Sprint. Sprint has some nice deals and the bill includes unlimited data and gps on some sweet phones.

VERIZON = droid, envtouch, blackberry-(iphone killer) i forgot the name.

SPRINT= 2 free blackberry's and you don't have to pay the $29 monthly fee. Plus they also have some other phone that compared to the Droid.



Whats your phone deal?

if cost is the primary concern, check providers like mycricket.com and metropcs.com.

I just switched to Verizon because of the voice services being better...

Still use my iPhone as an iPod Touch with wifi spots.

^^^^^^ Same as us. Just wait till you have to renew your contract when your new every 2 comes up. Thats were we are at now. You'll be forced to add the data package if you want a decent phone.

^ yes, through vonage. i greatly prefer talking on a land line, so even though i have to have a cell, i still want the option of talking on a proper phone.

unfortunately, that makes for a high monthly phone bill.
$50/mo for two vonage lines (home/office)
$180/mo for an iphone/blackberry cell package w/ unlimited data & txt.

only upside is that it all gets written off.

I'll keep this phone for as long as it works.

I have a landline too. I use it as often as I can tosave on my cell minutes. I use that number for advertising an apartment for rent also. I don't feel good about sticking my cell number on the front door of my house.

The land line comes out to about $30 a month, it's a package deal with my Internet and direct TV.

Yes!

I have AT & T. I signed a 2 year contract which gives me the basic model phone with it. I pay about 50 a month plus 5 extra for 200 texts. When the contract is up I'm going to pay as you go since I never have even come close to using all of my minutes.

I pay £10 a month for 100 minutes talk time and 100 texts...The phone is quite good too, 8g's of memory and the MP3 player is really good.



Living a life kept shut by a dream,
I'm reaching out to grasp my reality.
Hands of time wrap tight around my neck, and hit me so hard,
leaving me eyes black.
staring at a ceiling,
wondering why i never left,
penning words in a notebook,
wondering why haven't slept.
sanity is tapping in a cell
inside my fucking head.
begging for redemption
after hearing what was said.
the nights, they will not sleep
cause the days, have played for keeps.
