Cell Phone Thread!!

No landline for me. Just verizon. Some picture/flip phone thingy...pretty standard.

900 minutes a month, free weekends, free calls to Verizon customers. I only use about 100 minutes a month, dont really talk that much except to mom and such. I really need to reduce my plan!

I had Cingular, but when they merged with AT&T, the signals here got really bad. Had to switch.

I've got T-Mobile - $39.99/ month 600 anytime minutes, unlimited nights and weekend. free roaming.

Bad signal in my living room. But this was the best plan I could find, and I don't hate it, really.

Oh, and I don't buy phones, I only get the ones they give me for free, I have a Nokia 6010. It does what I need it to.

I have had T Mobile since they first came into being.  39.99 per month, 1000 anytime anywhere minutes. Of course I use about 400 of them.  I have thought about changing but everyone I talk to says never give up that plan.

My wife has that as well, and we are thinking of ditching it.  She constantly has problems with reception, phone not ringing on an incoming call, etc.  Add this is even when the phone shows good recpetion.  Now I'm wondering if it's the phone we have.  What kind do you have?

I have Cingular, which sucks around here for service (or maybe I just need a new phone).  I got one on my parents' plan so I'd get a 985 area code.  That means that for most of my family, it's a local call to reach me, which is really the only reason I have a cell. 

I get free long distance, and some ungodly amount of minutes which I've never come close to using up (although this week has put a dent in it). 

That razor phone look shot, rheros, I think I'll see about upgrading.  My phone is so old!  I've dropped it about a zillion times, and there's actually a cat hair behind the face plate that I can see.  It loses its charge in 24 hours now too, which sucks because I frequently forget to plug it in.

Cingular nationwide. It worked well when I was travelling - no problems getting a signal from Puerto Rico to California.

Verizon SUCKS!!!

I broke my phone a year ago and was getting SPAM messages.  I asked the local vendor for some help.  He basically told me to get bit, he JUST sells the stuff!  I complained to Verizon Corp. (and the Better Business Bureau) and they told me they couldn't talk to me because my wife's name was on the contract (we BOTH signed the contract in the store on the same day, at the same time).  After my wife called and gave Verizon permission to deal with me - they decided they could talk to me.

Scream!!!!!!!!! 

I begged them to cancel me and they refused telling me I have until Sept. 15 or a big $ was due.  I gave the phone to my kid. 

I called to cancel the service effective Sept. 15, TODAY and they told me NO.  I had to now wait until Nov. 10 (I was only eligible for new equipment on Sept. 15). 

I spoke to a manager this morning and she told me she'd take care of it - but then, just now, she left me a voice mail saying my name is not on the contract - my wife would have to call!  SCREAM!

I give up!  Anyone have a couple tin cans and some string?????
