cell phone services?
 
im looking for a relatively good service. i wot use the phone too terribly much. i want my minutes to stay, and i would also like to be charged for only the minutes i speak, not the minutes people call to me or the sms's i get. being a delivery ... rocks.

TMobile and Cingular have pay as you go services now that can be hooked up to a creditcard/bank account if your not looking for contracts. Id recommend TMobile cause they won 4 JDPower awards last year

This is your first step on getting laid Kain, now you can get the digits and call em, the next post I want to see from you is recomendations on condoms ;D

5 Years ago TMobile was voicestream, now duechtelecom and Tmobile/Voicestream are partners and the service is ALOT better.

was 7 years with AT&T until they switched to cingular, now switched over to Tmobile. 3000 minutes for 39 bucks is perfect for me.

I have cingular it has rollover which is good. Any phone company is just as good as the next it all depends on the phone, some people had problems with Tmobile I had a good phone with Tmobile no problems. I like my cingular service the best since they merged with at&t I always have at least 3 bars of service.

Re: cell phone services?
 
i used to have att then i switched to cingular now i have tmobile. their all the same. it all depends on the area your at. sprint sucks in some places and good in the middle of no where for some reason :D.

Re: cell phone services?
 
the thing is i dont wanna get billed for the minutes i dont use. i wanna get billed only for the minutes i use. i dont care about sms. btw ill most likely get a dualband phone since those tend to be teh bestst. i already have a cell phone, but what i wanna know is can i still get service for it?

i dont even know. when i went to go get a new phone last like feb, the dude was looking at our account and was like "your on a very old plan, i could switch you to this one (explains it) for cheaper, and seeing how much your kids use text messaging i could bump up your free message limit for free". i think some got discounted cuz my family is always getting new phones. i'll probably get another new one by the end of the year.

oh yea, and my homie works at a cell phone cover place and hooks us up for free. i have fake-ass carbon fiber on my phone 8)

AgentMurdoc 07-15-2005 04:41 PM

Re: cell phone services?
 
well ---- they need to give me a discount if it's because of getting mew phones. In the past 2 years, I've activated like 6+ new phones on my single number ???

---- maybe it's time to call and bitch about this >:D

nextel sucks. And it true it all depends on the area your are out. Some provider would be better for you even though they suck. For 2 years I sold AT&T, Cingular, T-Mobile, and Verizon. I have Verizon right now but if I had to go with someone else I would pick CIngular. ;)

Verizon is good until you have a problem. The customer service is non existent. They just want your money. They still owe me $212.99 for a phone I returned in APRIL... and have been to the store and called customer service multiple times and I just get a runaround. On a funny note they kept calling my home phone saying I owed them money as I refuse to pay my bill since April. Finally spoke to a human and asked why I owe them money when they are the ones that owe me. I was being transfered to another person and my call was dropped, go figure. This is just one of many bad situations I have had with them. My parents have also had multiple problems with them and billing. I could not be rehired by Radioshack (I was a former employee) due to my viewpoint of Verizon.

SUMMARY: ---- VERIZON

Also just type ---- verizon into google and see all the hits you get. Id rather have a prepaid then deal with this ----.

WERD VERIZON BLOWS!!! But it seems to have the best overall reception in SoCal, so that's why I keep it :-\

That's why nextel is gay, y0 dawg what's yer number dot number dot noumber so I can chirp you cuh?

The 'chirp' is what pisses me off, peoples screamin' 'n hollerin' on the phone, and what's worse you don't hear one person yelling, you get to hear both! And 80% of the time it's so static that they scream louder saying 'what the ---- you sayin dawg! I can't hear you!' ---- if I wanted to hear static I'd unplug the antenna and turn on the tv.

Geez... my buddy has Nextel and he doesn't even get servce in his own house.

So all 'n all, all cell phone providers blow.

Everyone I know thats had a nextel has hated it nd half the time you call them all you get is please wait while the nextel subscriber you are trying to reach is located then it goes to voicemail also the reception is shitty

Re: cell phone services?
 
Oh and for anyone that wants to switch companies... just google how to beat the early termination fee. It takes some letter writing but it works. Im giving Verizon one more chance to correct things (and maybe some extras for all the BS I've put up with) before I go to Cingular.
