I pay around $35-$40 a month for my bill, and I get 400 peak airtime minutes (6AM-9PM), unlimited nights (9PM-6AM) and weekends, and 1,000 mobile-to-mobile (Verizon to Verizon calls) minutes. It really isn't all that bad.

Do you know why she hates it?

Yeah, some people will say Verizon is fine but I don't know...raaah.

Do you guys have these cards, which you scrape and a number shows up? Then you dial that number and it charges your phone with the amount of money you paid for the card. Like, say you paid $25 dollars for the card, then you'd now have 25 bucks worth of calling money. That's what I always get. Because for me, it'd be a waste of money to pay $30 a month, when my 25 bucks sometimes last me 2 and a half months. I dislike talking on the phone, but people want to reach me and stuff (weirdos

)..so this works perfectly for me.
But Mandy if you're a chatterbox, then just forget about this suggestion.

My friend hates Sprint because she never gets any reception, her phone sucks, and paying her bill is a pain in the ass, basically. It's a bunch of different reasons. I don't know if she's switched over yet or not, but I know she hates it.

I love my plan. I wish I'd gotten a flip phone instead of the phone I have, but that's just personal crap. Verizon is pretty good.

Get Verizon

That's what I use and it's great, and their plans are not that bad. Also, sprint from what i hear SUCKS! I read an articale and it said it was the worse one out of all of them, and it's more money.

My friend has nextel and it's really good (i think that's what it's called) but you can't hear him half the time! It's really weird, he's got a really good signal but the line sucks.

Verizon's signal is alright, and you can hear fine when you can get one!

diddy...a calling card? LMAO...I think that's what you mean. Those ARE good but I still need a cell *sighs*

Now I'm really confused #)%*)#% like...I guess it's a personal preference. Some people hate Verizon, some love it. Some hate Sprint, some love it. I don't know. I DON'T KNOW this is driving me crazy.

Do you not get pay as you go phones in the US? (you don't have a monthly bill with PAYG)

WhoAmI_ea · 09-04-2003, 11:49 AM

Yeah we get pay as you go (which is what i think dids meant) which might be something for you to look into to

Noooooo! That's not what I mean. Oh gosh, I guess you guys don't have that over there then.

You buy your cell phone. Now you've got a cell without a plan. And that's the way it is. You buy a card whenever you want it. It gives your cell any amount of money. You THROW out the card.

Now you've just got your cell and say 50 bucks worth of talking. And you can call anywhere, anytime, anyone you want. And talk as much as you want, every minute though they take away a few cent. My card lasts me like 2 and a half months. Then I go and buy a new one. OR screw the card, and go to an ATM machine. Type in your cell phone number and it'll charge it automatically. Without any card.

That's actually what I always do. But I guess you don't have it over there, so um..sorry for even being in your thread. *moves*

LMFAO noooo diddy noooooo...I just don't know anything about that

Or maybe I've heard about it and forgot...*brain fart*

I still dunno what to do
