    Re: what kind of cell phone do you have?

    I'm looking to get one for business soon - it's about time. I'm thinking of a nokia b/c I heard their reception was exceptional. I just need one to call - no fancy stuff.

      Re: what kind of cell phone do you have?

      Hi all,

      Does anyone know if Tracfone will "port" my current number from T-Mobile? I'm looking to cut more of my expenses, and since I don't use my cell phone much, I think that's a good place to start. Kind of a pay as I go plan instead of a pay even if I don't go plan.

      Thanks in advance,
      CJ

            I have been eyeing up the razr lately. My old Motorola V60 drops 50% of the calls, and the other 50% I cut short & call back from a landline so I can hear better.

              We have Cingular and love them. Reception and coverage area is superb. We are frequently out with friends who can't use their phone wherever we happen to be and ours work fine. At work, my wife can use her phone in the office but her coworkers all need to go stand outside to use theirs.

              We all had Samsung x427m phones until 2 weeks ago when I lost mine . I replaced it with an LG camera phone (doesn't have a model number on it). I just went with the cheapest possible option. This one was $29 after rebate.

                My provider is US Cellular, and my phone is a very basic Nokia. Both work to my satisfaction.

                After vowing that I would "never wear a leash," I got a cell phone this year because I was tired of listening to people complain they could never reach me. Frankly, I consider the gadget a full-blown indulgence, but I appreciate the convenience.

                  I have VZW. I just recently got a razr. Love it. If you get one I will warn you. Do not get the V3C. Make sure the one you get is a V3M. Those are the newest out there. They have fixed a lot of the problems the old ones had. The V3M I have is silver and also it comes with removable transflash memory capabilities. The V3C doesn't.

                    I am with rexdart, I have managed to live all these years without one! Frankly, I don't like talking on the phone, so I would not have one if they were free!!

                      I have sprint. I do ok with them, but I use it quite a lot. My family lives 200 miles away and I have a numder in that area so they can all me with out the long distance. I am still in my network area so I don't get charged long distance/roming. I'm thinking of cutting down my min though cause I don't seem to ever use them all. Mostly I get calls at night in my free time.

                        I have Nextel. Reception and service isn't always great. All incoming calls are free and I hardly call anybody.

                            I have a VoIP account (~$18/month-unlimited calls) and use a VoIP phone that is rerouted to a home made VoIP server. I amplified my wireless network to get a 20 to 30 mile range (depends on the weather). It's also good in any wireless hotspot. So, basically, I created my own wireless phone network. I'm thinking about assigning phone extensions and selling a subscription to my family/friends for $60/year. So, basically, for $5/month, they'd get unlimited phone calls. Of course, their friends would have to dial an extension in order to reach them.

                              Ive tried everyone and Ive been the happiest with verizon. You need to be a tad bit more disciplined with VZW because they will charge you for things that you use, but arent in your plan. Tmobile and Cingular seem to give a bit more grace time for those who rarely use a nonstandard feature.

                              I esspecially like verizon because i have it tied in with my onstar service. So when I get a call, or make a call while driving, its one of the easiest and safest hands free experiences. I get onstar for free because they give you the package for a year when you buy a new GM. Im not a GM freak, it just so happens the last 2 cars were GM.

                                I have T-mobile and LOVE IT. Three people in my family (my mother, brother, and I) share a family plan. 700 minutes TOTAL, but we never go over because it comes with free mobile to mobile. Most everyone we know has T-mobile....so it works out really well.

                                My actual cell phone is a Samsung E105. I inherited it from my mother when she upgraded (for free). I'm due for a free upgrade now as well . . . love those!
