Sprint Cellular, and other companies now..

I thought my girlfriend was amazing, but Sprint just ****ed me so much harder.

Anyways, I'm moving on. What company offers some good deals on QUALITY phones. I only use around 200 minutes a month. I want a phone with a good camera and data out the wazoo. As a good reference point, sprint was 43 dollars total a month for me with infinite data and 500 minutes, Nights and weekends at 7PM and insurance.

Can anything else compare?

And which phone too?

What phone too? The T-Mobile sidekick has the features i want but it is 60 a month

I've had bad experiences with Sprint too. Long since left them. I'm with AT&T from Cingular days, and my plan is better than anything AT&T offers. I use the iPhone.

How much is your plan a month?

For two phones, rollover minutes, and I think 1000 minutes, I pay 99 dollars. I'll have to check but I'm pretty sure that's what I have. That includes 30 bucks a month for unlimited data on my phone and my wife's.

I've been with AT&T since before they were Cingular!

Since they were Bell South Mobility...I've never had any other service actually.

The only beef I've got with AT&T is that I have NO reception at my house, which is really frustrating, because it is right in the middle of a relatively good sized city (Greensboro, NC), not out in the boonies....sigh...

...Maki, you have the new 3G version of the iPhone or the original? I've got one of the originals on the way, I don't really need the fast internet access, and there is now an app for running Excel on the original iPhone, which is the only reason I didn't have it when it came out...you happy with it? (I'll be leaving behind a Treo 680, which has been a good phone for what I use it for...)

I have one of the originals. I don't see a need to upgrade. Plus, I'd be paying more per month.

99 for 2 lines with a lot of minutes. Ill have to price check beings i only really need 200 minutes and 1 line.

I have sprint right now after a horrible stint with U.S. Cellular and I can say without a doubt that sprint is the worst company I've ever dealt with as far as customer service. I can't wait to switch to AT&T

santucci218 · #9 10-16-2008, 10:52 AM

Man, Verizon is so expensive. Sprint was dirt cheap compared to these companies. I may just have to....live without a cell phone...

I'm right with Maki on this, and our costs are about identical as well...

Viva AT&T and the iPhone!

I've used US Cellular for about five years, and I've never had any issues with them. They will make mistakes from time to time, but they are really good about fixing them and not screwing you over.

But in reference to Sprint, my brother had them for a while because he worked for them, and they screwed him over more times than I can count.

The biggest issue I ran into was the fact that I could not go into any store that I didn't buy my phone from and get good service. It was god awful service anywhere else.

Buddy of mine bought a prepaid, refillable phone. That seemed
the best deal for his purposes. Whatever they were ...

OK, I've had my "old" iPhone since Monday...and I'm already trying to figure out how I managed to make it all these years without it...

...neatest "geek toy" ever. EVER.

When I worked for BellSouth I had a Cingular phone (BellSouth owned Cingular at the time). I alsways found it amusing that I got absolutley no signal on my phone inside BellSouth world headquarters.

I realize that this doe snot help you at all but I think it is entertaining.

Carry on with your thread.

Eh, I like Verizon personally. I've never had a problem with service, even inside buildings, and their customer service is great. I pay $60 a month for a single line and 700 minutes a month plus unlimited text/pic messaging. My contract is up, so they give you $100 credit towards a new phone. I'm going to get myself the Voyager (the iphone wannabe) and since theres a $50 mail in rebaye its only going to cost me $50 + tax!
