i've had suncom for the past 2 years and my contract finally runs out next month. what are good cell phone providers. I need the typical; good coverage, good phones, cheap plans.

BTW...i have had suncom and they are nazis. they are always out to screw u over and do it all the time if u dont catch them on it. i remember one time they charged me 80 bucks in roaming cause they said i called from texas. I made a 2 min phone call from goldsboro, nc at like 8:30pm on one day. At 8:35pm the very same day, just 5 min later, they said made a 40 min phone call from texas...yea, they tired to screw me.

cingular is alright

i renewed my contract with them for the second time

i travel a lot so roaming and long distance charges would rape me, which is why i stuck with them

11/11/2005 11:59:27 AM

the only way nextel is decent is if you know a bunch of people with them and will use direct connect a lot
and you dont mind outdated phones

11/11/2005 12:25:07 PM

i got a nextel with bluetooth, a 1.3mp cam, video recording, & mp3 player

right
and its heavy, nothing special, and at least $100 more than you would pay for a better phone from another provider
and the battery life sucks

i would listen to jonhguth....hes an expert on cell phones

11/11/2005 12:35:16 PM

better than an idiot on everything

11/11/2005 12:38:54 PM

My nextel bill is ALWAYS the same. With verizon I was constantly billed incorrectly. I have 1000 anytime CELLULAR minutes, unlimited nights and weekends, unlimited direct connect and a $10 internet/messaging/insurance package. My bill is always $74.00. If you want consistency and customer service that's actually worth a damn (CORRECTION: pending the full merger over this next year w/ Sprint) then go with Nextel. PS - My parents had verizon and alltel and our entire family is now on Nextel because the plans are so much more consistent.

11/12/2005 2:54:57 PM

i would love to get nextel since that is what everyone uses at my job

but i would only get it if everyone i knew had it so i could take advantage of the direct connect

11/12/2005 2:59:06 PM

free incoming is good for ppl who don't have a lot of direct connect users they'd be in contact with.

you call them. hang up. they call you back and talk for hours. you've used 10 seconds :-)

11/12/2005 3:15:20 PM

11/12/2005 3:32:34 PM

I have Alltel and love it

11/12/2005 5:59:01 PM

altell sucks....my girlfriend and her dad's company had them and they billed them wrong; they added over 800 bucks in charges that they couldnt tell them what for; they took them to court and got like 3 months for free then left. im thinkin i might go with nextel

11/13/2005 9:20:45 PM

nextel is great if you have the direct Connect...otherwise its shit..and makes you look likea fucking hill billy

I should know..I have one.

11/13/2005 10:12:10 PM

in yeasr nextel has onloy fucked up my bill once and that time it wa s too damn high because they were aying each text message was .25 . after i bitched for a while they took the charges off and change d my shit to unlimited texting.

but yea nextel fucks up your bill very rarely and if you bitch because its too damn high they will usually give you credits and bonus minutes

11/13/2005 11:08:11 PM

i had t-mobile for a couple years, but just recently gave up my cellphone for awhile. their package with 600 anytime minutes and unlimited nights and weekends for $50 was pretty much that best deal I saw out there. too bad they're not based in NC.

11/14/2005 1:26:39 AM

yea well u got ripped off with t-mobile. even though i hate suncom...they have good plans. i have 1000 anytime min. and unlimited night and weekends for 42 a month.

11/14/2005 3:30:18 PM

if you chose sprintpcs let me refer you.


kthx

actually i havent had any problems with Sprint ever. you should wait a bit and get one of their new EV-DO phones coming out in a few weeks. ev-do = high speed wireless internet.

Btw, what's up Str8BacardiL...its Bryan. I didn't know you posted on TWW...

11/15/2005 7:23:10 PM

been with Alltel for 3 years, no complaints
2 lines, nationwide, 1000 anytime, free weekends and after 7 for around $75
coverage is great in Raleigh

11/15/2005 7:43:16 PM

11/15/2005 7:51:34 PM

lol chill with the damn nextel van. im not suncomm but i flippin get it!

11/16/2005 4:32:02 AM

you can take over my nextel plan. i have a POS alltel that i got with my new job so i'm getting rib of the nextel since i don't have to pay a cell phone bill anymore. my plan ends August 15, 2007 and right now i have the Sprint Free Incoming 300 and my monthly bill runs about $50 plus whatever Direct Connect minutes you use outside of your call area. this typically runs me an extra $10. it also comes with unlimited night/weekend and nextel service plan. plus i'll give you my old i730 phone which i never had problems with unless you want to buy my i850 which someone offered me $100 for it. in order to take over a plan nextel runs a credit check and if you had bad credit they make you give them an upfront deposist which they didn't tell me how much and then you just pay the $35 activation fee which is on your first bill. i've never had problems with nextel and loved it, but i can save a lot of money not having to pay a phone bill.

11/16/2005 9:04:10 AM

Verizon are the most unhelpful people on the planet.

11/16/2005 3:04:35 PM

alltel is okay

11/16/2005 3:06:54 PM

I feel your pain.... 6 months of suncom was enough for me, 2 $100+ monthly bills with no explanation.... I told the Nazis to fuck off... So I went verizon last week, they're pretty good, and have a lot better options.

I think it's just a given to hate your cell phone company. We've got cingular - service is OK, lotsa rollover minutes, etc, but they keep on screwing my voicemail up. I've called them over 20 times in the last 6 months over this. They've credited me a month's worth of service but won't do anything else anymore.

Actually they did offer me free minutes but we've got some stupid amount of minutes already squirreled away. All I want is to not have to call those fuckers every 5 weeks about the same problems.
