My mother and I are Cingular users and are on a shared family plan. We just renewed our contract and got new Motorola V44 Camera, Flip-phones. The only benefit of going with Cingular is the roll-over minutes.

I have T Mobile and I have the motorola camera phone and i need a new one because its broken.

 

[Heyyall]

att...nokia phone...great service!

My DH works for Cingular Wireless so we are on an employee plan. Limits my minutes, but good for me. I have TDMA service. Not interested in the GSM service yet because not all of Michigan is covered yet. GAIT phones are hard to come by so I keep my old Nokia phone. No problems here.

He is the one that builds the "cancer releasing" cell towers so peeps can have service. :drevil: But don't put it near their house or we never hear the end of it! :brick:

Of course I have a cell phone...Virgin Wireless...it is practically un-American not to have a cell phone

 

[tigsmom]

Sprint Family Plan...3 phones...all Samsung. Free calling between phones.

I am a Virgin Mobile user at the moment, with a Kyocera Slider....man I hate that thing. Thankfully, in the next week or two, my dad is getting a family plan for the family at T-Mobile, and I'm hoping to buy the T-Mobile Sidekick phone.

 

[GoofyFan1]

Verizon flip phones, also free phone-to-phone.

T-mobile... family plan.. free mobile to mobile.. long distance great..

Something bad: Reception in VA... Their is no digital service where i am, so i am in black.. in South Carelina i was roaming, (Free) on cingular... In Iowa, it was Iowa Wireless... Nationwide aint bad with free roaming, but no digital cervice equals terrible... hopefully when i get near willamsburg i will get in digital range.... (I need to call a few people, but not from my grandparents phone....)

i saw a little 10 year old kid crying because his sister not very much older than him didn't like him using the cell phone....thats way too young for a cell phone...talk about spoling your kids

Alltel, National Freedom Plan. Unlimited nights and weekends. 300 daytime minutes. Voice mail, Caller ID, 3-way calling, Call waiting and forwarding, and No answer transfer calling. Long-distance included. Almost 100% coverage nationwide. All of this for only $43.00 per month (total with taxes).

And I got a free phone for signing one year contract.

 

[speck76]

I have a Nextel, my job provides it (it is a leash)....I used to have a Sprint PCS phone, which I got better reception on....the Nextel network is not that good, but the direct connect function is handy.

Great for keeping track of the kids. Necessity, not a luxury; especially with both parents working.

:wave:

att wireless... alright service... free long distance (with in ur calling area).. all around satisfied...

 

[shuflemstr]

I just switched to Verizon after being with Sprint for almost five years. So far I am very impressed with Verizon.

 

[Invero]

I have a Motorola V600 quad band phone with AT&T Wireless GSM service. I'm quite happy with the phone, and reception is great.

LOL! I could have said the same myself! Huge arguments over the cell phone towers here too!

I have a Samsung Blue phone in the TDMA system - with an expensive plan that I am changing this week.

I am also changing the phone, I love my Samsung, but I get a new one with the new plan, so why not? I am planning on getting the Samsung S-300 which is almost identical to the Samsung Blue. It also comes with two screens, but in colors and it´s in the GSM system. GSM is not that good here yet as some areas are still not fully covered (roads and such) but I rarely go on the road, so in the city, it should be fine.

QUESTION: has anyone heard of how is the Samsung S-300 I am planning to get? I need info about it before I take it for the following 18 months in the GSM system.

Thanks in advance!

Sprint, $65 unlimited talk plan (thank you FCC), 10 cents a minute to canada/12 cents to mexico/14 cents to Western Europe/Japan/Australia/NZ, and $10 for unlimited 3G each month on a beat up Samsung A500 Handset. I think I'm gonna upgrade handsets this year... maybe xmastime. I want a triband handset w/ GPS functionality. As far as service goes, ask anyone who spoke with me on the phone while I was in the rainforest, 11km from the closet town. Sprints customer service may suck, their billing practices may be shady (not for me though, THANKS FCC!!), but they do provide the best coverage areas.

I just got myself a new Siemens CX65. £10 per month with O2 gets me 300 text messages, 1Mb of GRPS, 300 minutes of WAP, and calls at 25p/per minute for the first 3 minutes, then 2p/per minute after that.

The phone itself has: 11Mb user RAM, 1.3MegaPixel camera/video, Triband, Java MIDP2.0, IrDA, 64k colour display.
