Cell phone owners, what's your plan?

[imported_Tomato]

My cell phone sucks.

I'm looking into getting a new one altogether, but don't want to get ripped off in the process. For those of you with cell phones...

1. How much did you pay for your phone?
2. How many minutes do you get per month?
3. How much do you pay per month?
4. Are you pleased with the plan?

Saw these just now on MSN, wondering if they're worth it.

Peace,
Dezign

[bolido2000]

If you want to sign up for a new plan go to a asian store and they usually will give a good phone for free.

I recently switched to ATT GSM. I got a Nokia 8390 free AR plus 350 anytime, U/L night and weekends, free long distance. 29.99 per month. GSM coverage in LA is better than TDMA. Overall I am satisfied.

 

[mchammer187]

paid 0 for phone and zero for activation

motorola v60

250 any time

1000 N & W

30 / month

cingular

i am pretty satisfied

if i were to get something now i would get the Samsung S105 and 600 anytime from amazon under voicestream

I have the exact same plan, except I have a Kyocera 2135, which was free w. activation, and 4,000 n/w minutes. It does what I need, makes and accepts calls. Battery life leaves a bit to be desired, though.

 

[radioouman]

Cingular (Columbus, OH)
Two Sony Ericsson T60d phones (cost roughly $60 per phone, - $30 rebate = $30 per phone)
250 Anytime minutes with free long distance (shared between phones)
1000 night/weekend minutes
Unlimited calling between phones
Free data services (WAP)
Unlimited SMS messaging
$60 per month.

It is OK here... not the greatest service, but that is probably partly due to the phone. But I hardly use the phone. I'm just waiting until my contract runs out, and I probably won't keep service at all.

 

[iamme]

1. Motorola V60 $50 (AR)
2. 800 anytime and unlimted nights & weekends
2. $39.99/mo
4. Very

I'm w/ AT&T Wireless. Whenever a new promotion comes out, try calling them and asking if you can qualify for them. I originally had 400 minutes, then 600, and then bumped up to a crazy 800 minutes....all for $39.99/mo. Plus, after a year, they give you good discounts on phones. Back when the Ericsson T68 first came out, ATT offered it to me for $50.

Be sure to ask around, and see which provider offers the best reception around your area. While ATT rocks for me (in Michigan), it may not be as clear in your area.

 

[propellerhead]

$80 Kyocera 2255
450 anytime minutes
2000 nights & weekends minutes (starting at 8 pm)
500 sprintpcs to sprintpcs minutes
$30, plus taxes and extra charges, minus 10% government slave discount

The 2000 N/W minutes are practically "unlimited". No matter how I try, I haven't even come halfway to using those up. I've come close to the 450 anytime minutes, and used up the 500 spcs-spcs minutes.

I'm happy.

WOW! Where/how do you get that plan dude, that's like exactly what I need. I wouldn't talk too much on a cell phone, so a hundie minutes would be nice for me. If io could find out where to get a plan like this, i would just need to get that phone from the matrix (the nokia 8146 or 8110), and i would be super happy.

agreed, v60 sucks.

My plan will be the same as RossMAN's w/ Panasonic GD88 (Jay Chou's phone w00t!)
