Officially a tool, I got a cell phone...

I feel like I just blew a load of money on something totally useless, but I got myself a new cell phone. I miss like a total of 3 phone calls a month, but they are crucial calls, so I bit the bullet. Those verizon bastards reamed me good. I've heard bad things about every other service, except for Verizon, who are supposedly just expensive.

They should seriously piecemeal those screwjob plans. I have no need for the billion and one features that I have to sign on for an entire YEAR for.

I wish I could have a $20 a month plan.....

You're doing good with Verizon, simply because they provide the best service according to surveys. I'm with SprintPCS (solely because of discounts) and their service (and customer service) suck a fat one.

But if you bit the bullet to miss only a couple calls, I don't know that you'd have to pay top dollar for a plan.

Now you gotta talk on it when you drive and cut people off when you are driving and talking on it. :p

If they provide it on the Internet, it can't be all that secret.

You should've PM'd them to people who requested then... not everyone on this board! ;)

I tried using it while driving yesterday when I got it, what an adventure. Since I didnt have anyone's number saved, I had to manually enter it in, man, I was veering left and right....

Not a smart idea for a left lane driver...

Does Cingular have such discounts?

I wish there was some plan using GSM that was cheap. Like 10 bux for 60 minutes a month cheap. I've had my phone since august from amazon (got paid 150$ after rebates) and I look on the total usage and have used it about 4 hours total since august. What a waste of money at 32 a month.
