hmmm i think i should have been more clear. like 1.5 yrs back, acquiring and keeping a cellphone was very expensive here. the prepaid packages were very expensive, like $20 a month (its considered alot here) and the card was valid for only 1 month. out going charges were approx 15-20cents per minute and we had to pay around 10cents for incoming calls as well..but now they have introduced free incoming, the person who calls you is billed for the call in addition to the standard cost of making a phone call. and have introduced $5 cards as well which are valid for upto 6 months ! hehe lol...now thanks to this even the sweepers here have cellphones ! lol.
i asked u abt voicestream wireless.have u tried it?
I have a T-mobile Sidekick, on, you guessed it, T-mobile. The service is pretty good, the phone is neat, but it gets boring pretty quick. I hardly ever surf the web on it anymore, or get any email on it.
So, next week i'm gonna pick up the Nokia 3650. Mp3 ringtones, here I come!

Even with the new color Samsung A500 (Got it in October, not so new anymore I guess...). My old TP1100 or whatever was better than this phone...which I gave to my parents, and it drops calls also...Sprint is horrible in OH and MI. You wouldn't be able to guess that from their service map...
Weeee, i got my nokia 3650 (and a bluetooth adaptor through my good friend ebay) and it rocks.
Great reception, awesome voice quality. I really like being able to install new programs, and have REAL songs as ringtones!
The camera rocks. All around great phone.

I hate this phone with a passion :(
I have T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon
Verizon has excellent service, but crappy phone selection.
AT&T has the best minute bucket ($99 - unlimited) and excellent phones - I have the SPV and Pocket PC Phone on At&T
T-Mobile - excellent GSM service, good rates, but I am the sidekick plan just riding my contract out then disconnect - they ticket me off.
I just recently got the LG VX4400 with Verizon National Plan service, so far the quality has been very good, and battery life is much longer than i expected on it. I'll mainly be using it nights and weekends, and of course I had to download Tetris for it ;)

Motorola Bag Phone (not sure of model number) on an Alltel employee plan...
$9.99 a month for 500 day/1000 nights&weekends for the local area here in East Tennessee.
The emplyee plan is the ONLY reason I have Alltel service period. Alltel has decent coverage, but frequent network problems, and LOUSY customer service.
An example of this was during the debut of their National Freedom Plan. About the same time this plan came out, Verizon bought out Cellular One in this area and converted all of their TDMA towers to CDMA, giving Alltel digital customers the ability to roam off of Verizons system. This was supposed to be OK...thats where Alltel got their National Freedom coverage area...they have roaming agreements with Verizon and Sprint PCS. BUT, people were getting roaming charges for using their phones RIGHT HERE IN TOWN. And, when they would call in to customer service to see what was going on, the customer service reps would get real snotty and hateful with them, and tell them that they WERE ROAMING and they WERE responsible for those charges, and that this town wasnt even covered in the National Freedom area.
So, WE...US...the Alltel agents would call in to get it lined out, and they gave us the SAME thing. And we would tell them, "THIS IS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF AN ALLTEL OWNED SERVICE AREA!!! OF COURSE ITS IN THE NATIONAL FREEDOM AREA!!! HOW THE FREAK DO YOU THINK WE COULD SELL ALLTEL HERE IF IT WERENT!!!" http://www.jwzone.org/forums/images/smilies/shout.gif
And the universal response, "Well, uhhhh...im sorry, its not showing in the computer as being in the area...I can let you talk to my supervisor if you would like..." http://www.jwzone.org/forums/images/...s/rolleyes.gif
Supervisor comes on. Same story. So we started taking names and turning them in to the local Alltel coordinator. Whether or not anything actually got done about it, I dont know.
FINALLY, after four months of this the problem got fixed, and from the description of it, it sounded like something fairly simple. The proper home SID's werent loaded into the Alltel towers properly.
So, after that I lost all faith in Alltel. I wouldnt recomend them to anyone...

I'm using Cincinnati Bell Wireless and a Nokia 3560. Unfortunately, in Cincinnati, you can't go with AT&T directly, but rather buy the services through Cincinnati Bell. Right now, they do not offer GSM service even though AT&T supports it on their network in our area. Only good thing is not having a contract so I can leave the plan whenever.
I'm using a Sony Ericsson T226 with Cingular... Although I really want a Sony Ericsson T616.
Well recently like 2 months ago, I got a new phone and a new service. I was very much thinking which one to get and finally decided to buy a Nokia 2100. And frankly said, it's one hell of a nice phone. Comfortable, small and very easy to use. So, I'm glad of my decidion.
And the service .. well again I live in Russia, so most probably no one will know it, but ... MTC! Also very satisfying.
Nokia 3530
LG VX-10 with Verizon Wireless... Awesome service at least... :D
Nokia 8265 & AT&T Service....had 'em for about 3 years now, have been amazed by their customer service and have had no reason to look elsewhere.
