Cell Phones...
Wednesday, July 28, 2004 by MindlessPuppet | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I know this isn't relevant to skinning or anything. But I figure this would be a good group of people to ask. Anyhow, what cell phone provider do you use and how satisfied have you been with them?

Why stay away from Verizon? Because they always overcharge you all around. Same could be said about Sprint if you use all the features.

No cell phone here.......#1 we live in a 'dead zone' so it wouldn't work here at home...#2 cable and hi speed not available here so have to use dial up for computer so I need to keep a landline for puter anyway...#3 I've made it this far without one so I don't really feel any overwhelming need to be in touch when I'm not at home...if I'm not here, I'm not here. lol 
...#4 Sure as heck don't need another bill!

No cell phone here. For me it's just like saying:
"Hey everyone, call me ANYTIME, anyplace and I'll be there for you, and if I DON'T happen to answer my phone after your repeated calling efforts you can give me strife about it later and ask me questions like "Why didn't you answer your phone earlier? I called numerous times!"
me thinks melikes my privacy. If they can't get a hold of me on the ol landline it either means I'm avoiding peeps or I'm out in any case don't wish to be bothered.
..but.. this is just my opinion lol.. If I were more important I'd certainly have one but I'm just Mr. Nobody [and no one's really trying to call me anyhow haha].. Wishful thinking for me.

mine works both analog and digital.
I understand that verizon isn't the end all beat all of companies, but remember, I live in a remote area, we might as well be an island for all the rest of America remembers we're here(except in the summer when everyone and their sister comes here to roast in the sunshine.) we're not on the truck routes, and most companies seem to have forgotten that there are actually people here during the winter months. I guess that's why we don't get such great service with the other companies mentioned. To date, for this specific area, verizon has the best coverage and plans.
If I were to live somewhere else, I might be swayed to another company more readily.
There are pro's and cons to every wireless solution.

Verizon has nothing to do with T-Mobile. For one thing their different companies. Another thing they use different technology. Verizon is CDMA based. T-Mobile is GSM based.
Anyway..

Hehe, man I can relate. Personally I hate cell phones, and been holding out on getting one until now. However, currently I don't have stable address, I've been jumping around place to place, and rarely have a landline.

must've missed where someone was judging you footsie, here I thought the thread was about different kinds of cell phone plans and companies... guess I didn't read between all the lines?

I've had AT&T wireless for several years now and like the service. I recently (10 months ago) switched to their GSM service and bought a smartphone that runs a version of windows for mobile phones. It is quite wonderful - was able to sell the PDA I had and now strictly use the phone for calls and PDA functions. It's awesome.

I know guys who work for Sprint who got Verizon plans becouse they couldn't get a signal with Sprint PCS also I'm told that if you DL ringtones from Sprint, they expire after a month and you have to buy them all over again! [episode of TSS]

You're right you won't.
I respect your work but I don't really think we get along very well so let's just agree to pretend like each other doesn't exist eh?
I think that probably will be for the best.
