Cellphone shopping

Verizon called me yesterday to ask me how they could improve their service. I told them that they should do rollover minutes. So I hope that means they'll be introducing that soon!

Verizon is the best. OK, I am a little biased because I am one of their Corporate Business Reps.

Personally I have Verizon.. I do use the minutes. am on the 1400 min rate.. with two phones and unlimited text messaging.

I also have the international plan for calling. $3.99 a month and I can dial India for .30 cent a min. which I tend to use more often than the phone card that has less call connectivity.

I currently have the Moto E815. love it.. have mp3 etc.. bells and whistles.. they are not offering it any longer :-( am up for renewal new every 2 yr. etc.. so.. I think I will await till after thanksgiving .. closer to the new year to see what new phones come out.

Daughter has a Envy.. loves it.. used to have a chocolate.. the first version.. but.. after 4 returns.. they offered something else.. thus we requested the envy.. no problems for her with that.. .. For me.. keyboard is a tad small .. fonts are small. I need ability to make fonts a bit larger for my elder eyes hahaha.

I actually was thinking of changing service providers.. but.. when you look at .. how many total minutes used.. for the two phones. (one is used for my business) the 1400 min is about all used up along with another 1000 or so on verizon to verizon.. sooo unless another plan has good minutes. or as good connectivity.. hmmm think i will stay where I am .

dont forget that not all plans offer the plan-to-plan calling for free type calls.. or free after certain times. etc..

We have disconnected the land line now.. and solely rely on the mobile.. .. took some small adjusting but .. dang just couldnt see paying $58 for a land line when it is only used rarely and only for a 15yr old after school.. hmmm.. figure i can add another 1000 minutes for less than $30.. .. if i really needed to.. .. but. for now.. no.. we are just fine..

good luck.. think of all your options.. your service needs.. is it just for .simply communication.. texting etc.. or is it your primary connection for communication..

Most importantly check what service works in your area ( and don't believe everything a phone rep tells you) despite all we were told only one gets coverage at our house (kinda limits the options lol)

for phoning abroad I use a phonecard which requires me only to dial a 1 888 number (idphonecard.com) wouldn't know it wasn't a normal call as it identifies my number so once connected you just dial the foreign number easy peasy and to UK pretty cheap too

Oh good. Can you push that rollover minutes thing forward then? Thanks!

I just looked up Morocco.. on Verizon.

Verizon International callin Link

for Morocco.. without any plan it would cost about $1.49 a min .. if you use the international service plan.. costing $3.99 a month.. you can get min rate of .50 a min.

All cell phone companies suck they need to be outlawed just like cars and guns lol. They are nothing but distraction to the drivers have you ever see drivers talk and play with cell phones while driving lol scary chit.

I have Sprint...I have like 1500 mins for 120 or so...but also, all incoming mins are free. For a person in my line of work, that's a helluva perk. I'd be payin $500 celly bills without it

Sometimes Sprint drops the call, but I have to say, I'm pretty pleased overall. I have a palm treo 755 & it's insured. I've had issues in the past with the phone, and I just bring it in and they fix or replace it. I don't even know what replacement number I'm on already. Funny thing is, I started out with a 650 and I worked my way up I guess

I've had really good service from them.

I had Nextel for 2 years. Never a problem with them. I just switched to Sprint. Got a family plan with 2 Katana II camera phones with unlimited picture mail and 700 minutes for $80/month. Love the phone and the service so far has been good.

I have sprint and I have to say that I love them. I went to another carrirer and went back to Sprint just 14 days later. Calls to Egypt are 38 cents a min. I think if I didnt make international calls my bill would be about $50.00 and I have 1500 mins a mo and unlimited on weekends and after 7 pm And I never get droped calls

Excellent coverage and call quality.

1. Verizon

2. AT&T

The above are also, by far, the most expensive providers..

Bang for buck but average coverage & call quality

1. Sprint

2. T-mobile

3. Alltel

also.. almost EVERYTHING rewrites your contract (except adding or removing internet packages).. but other than that.. watch out..

Not with Verizon Wireless - they just changecd their policy so you can change anything on your plan, including features and airtime minutes, and NOT affect your contract end date. In fact the ONLY time your conttract will get extended now is if you buy a phone at promotional pricing!!!

Yup, I work for them too.....

You actually may want to consider a T-mob plan. If you get one of the wifi phones and subscribe for 20.00 a month all of the calls you make where there is a wireless router or at a Starbucks are free and do not come off of your plan.
