Cell Phone

Do you carry a cell phone? What kind? What carrier do you have?

Hubby and I have been with Cingular/AT&T for 12 years. I've been carrying a Razr V3 for 2 years and while it still works, the screen is starting to go. I've been wanting a blackberry, but wouldn't pay the price. We were on such an old plan that we didn't have "mobile to mobile". So, I just upgraded our plan, got hubby a Sony Ericsson W580i Walkman (FREE), and got my BB Pearl ($500).

The lady told me you usually get a better deal over the phone than online or in the stores. My hubby had gone to a store to look and decide which phone he wanted. Online his phone would have cost us $79 and mine would have been $99. Now, if I can make this one last until I can justify getting an IPhone!

Our service is with US Cellular. Everyone around us with Sprint, Cellular One and a couple others have trouble in some areas, but we have never had any problems with our carrier. My son and I have identical phones and I love it, but it's just a real simple little LG model. When this plan expires, I'm wanting to check into getting Internet, although like I've said in a different thread...I'm really not sure if I should for me anyway...I don't miss having it now so we'll see.

I want a Blackberry too. Like you Janet, I don't need it, but I love toys.

I don't even use my cell phone. It has needed to be charged for about 5 days
now.

Enjoy your new toys Sandy!

I love the toys too Judy. I would like to try it for awhile anyway..if I do, I will have to quit WW. Won't have the money for both.

My kids have been after me to get a cell phone. They all have one and dh has one... even my 9 yr old granddd has one! I don't want one. lol

I so rarely get out of the house that when I do the last thing I want is for people to be calling me! I value my privacy too much for that.

I got a T-Mobile Dash phone this winter. LOVE LOVE LOVE it! It is comparable to the Blackberry. In my work, my schedule changes everyday, so I just carry my phone with me and my calendar is always right there. It is so convenient. I also love the wireless internet. I don't pay to be able to get on the internet with my phone but I can if I want.
