Cell Phones - Eternal Allegiance

Okay I'm getting a new cell phone for college really soon and I was just wondering, what kind do y'all recommend?

Some lady at a cell phone place was telling me Nextel is crap and Verizon is good. But I've heard bad things about Verizon. And what about Virgin...I know like nothing about Virgin. I was thinking maybe Sprint because I think they have free long distance and that's important with me. RAAAH I don't know

Free long distance is good. I have that with AT&T. It's about $30 a month and I have free long distance, 1,000 minutes between 7pm and 7am and 250 anytime minutes. It's a pretty good deal.

Sprint is good... especially if your friends and family have it too, cuz then you get free PCS-to-PCS calling

I have Sprint, and I havent had any major probs with it.

I heard Verizon's good too, but everyone I know who HAD it, all changed to Sprint.. sooo...lol

I wanna get a new phone.. I want a picture phone now <33

Ah thanks Karen, I'll keep that in mind.

Yeah Becky, so far I think Sprint seems like the best. I was hoping someone on herre had it so I could hear their opinions on it. I think there's some deal...if you buy one you get a second phone for like, $9.99. So then my mom could have one to call me

I want a flippie phoneeee. I had a Motorola before and it was so boriiing. Okay, the cover was sorta cool.

...I have 3500 night/weekend minutes.. and 300 anytime. For $34.99. And now, if you sign up, you can get the same, but with unlimited night/weekend mins.

Mandy, just make sure you get the most anytime minutes you can possibly get. I think Sprint has one of the best plans right now for the least cost. Anytime minutes go faaaassttt..

*EDIT* Yes I loovvee my flip phone <333 It makes me feel important...(?) lmao

I don't even use 1,000 minutes!!! I mostly have it for emergencies.

Haha...well, I'm gonna be living really far away from my family and I have a feeling my minutes will go like that *snaps*

I just got a good deal from U.S Cellular. For $40 a month I get 500 anytime minutes, 250 text messages, call waiting, caller ID, call forwarding, 3 way calling, free long distance from your home calling area, voice mail, and a choice of 1000 mobile-to-mobile minutes or unlimited nights and weekends. I chose the Night and Weekends. Also, the phone cost me $29.95 and I get a $30 mail in rebate. Activation fee is only $30 and you don't pay that until your first months bill. The phone I got is a really cool Nokia phone, I love it

It's got that nifty polyphonic sound, it kicks ass!

Verizon DOES suck...they were my last provider and I hated them.

Oh my goodness, all of that made me dizzy

That does seem like a pretty good deal though. SEE all of this makes me even more indecisive.

lmao that's what I thought (about Verizon)...the girl was trying to push it on me and I'm thinkin', everyone says it blows lady.
