Text messages are pretty useful, especially if you can send them for free from the internet. That's how I sent most of mine!!

I have cingular, and their service flucuates considerably. Right around my house, I get decent service, sometimes it's great, sometimes it's not. I do agree that there is better service out there though. *coughverizoncough*

Anyway......Nokia has excellent support, but right now they don't make flip phones, and let's face it, flip phones rock. Motorola makes the best flip phones by far, and they usually are feature packed. LG flip phones are nice too, but I think motorolas are a bit better.

Regardless, there's a ton of good phones out there. I recommend doing research before you start talking to us though, because I know I'm biased towards motorola, and likewise, I have friends that disregard Motorola phones for their Nokias. To each his own I suppose. The moral of the story is, put at least 2 weeks of research into the subject before you go out to the store and decide to make a purchase.

For me, nothing beats this:



There's no fancy camera, I don't have text messaging, or funky ringtones.

But it's perfect for me because I get unlimited calling with Cricket.

I would suggest to shop for a phone that does what you NEED it to do, not customizability.

Yeah, prepay way to go.

I've owned 3 cell phones in the past month and a half...

my first one (AMONG THE 3), was a Z600 by Sony Ericsson:


my second one, the V3 RAZR... which i recently gave to my sister:


now, my current phone is the MPx220 with Windows Mobile in it... email... internet explorer... I was even on GameTavern with it...

^ Lucky bastard...

You'd be doing the same if you had a GSM carrier... Verizon sucks up your money ... makes you think the IN-network is big.... .

I got a Motorola v220 phone, not the best but hey! it has a camera

with a Cingular plan{1100 rollover minutes}

The buttons of my Nokia 3310
are messed up. Sometimes it doesn't register my push, other times it registers 1 long push instead of 2 short, deleting my text message.
