I am thinking of dumping АТ&Т. what provider do you use, phone, how much you pay for it and how do you like?
I have Verizon service and a casio exilim. My only complaint is that the battery life isn't that great. Stick with the basic cell phone and your bills shouldn't be too high. I only use it for phone calls and SMS, but it also comes in handy for taking pics because my digital camera is broken.
that the thing, i have an Iphone now, and am loving it, but service sucks and pricey. I heard good reviews on verizon and T-mobile.Quote:

Iphones and smart phones are great if you can fork out $100+ per month for bills. The only problem with Verizon is that they sometimes suck with the math and make mistakes in the billing, so always check the balances and make sure you're paying the right amount.
i am now paying $220 for 4 phones, and hope to get it under $200Quote:

Ummm... what does the monthly bill have to do with the phone you have?? I have a smartphone and my monthly bill is like 2$/month.
Isn't it prepaid service, though?Quote:

American service providers apparently love to assrape their customers.
Not prepaid, I have a contract and they send the bill every month.Quote:

I agree judging for what I've seen... you guys get charged for everything, we don't get charged for receiving calls/sms or anything... I wouldn't be surprised they charge you for taking pictures with your phone lol.Quote:

That's how it should be. My plan has unlimited SMS and 200 minutes/month (but if I go over that, my bills can get pretty spendy) My bills usually don't go over $40.Quote:

I'm on 3 network - Nokia phone, pay as I go :)
300 free texts a month, free 3 to 3 calls and free internet for a month....and all if I top up just ten pounds a month :)
Robot what company do you have lol? My bf took Iphone 4 from Vodafone in Spain, had a battery bug from the beginning, gave it to repair, had no phone for almost a month, needed to pay for it ,and he got his Iphone back, unrepaired ;) And he pays pretty much.
I'm on Simyo, I got my phone in the UK though, so if it breaks I've got to fix it myself or send it to the UK, which is a pain.Quote:

Sprint has the best plan, but not the best and most reliable service... $69.99 for everything is the best plan and in some markets: Verizon is giving this discount to some customers: you must ask for it, though.Quote:

Plus, if you are savvy, use Google voice and the free number: with a data plan and you can send and receive free text messages. ($10 for most other plans)
For the best reliable network: Verizon cannot be beat: but don't go there for the IP4:
(1) It won't be 4g
(2) Verizon has stopped added incentives for smart phones but has dropped mail in rebates for smart phones. (Check out Droid Life to learn more)
The worst networks are:
T Mobile, and AT&T period.
Btw, with sprint you can hack the services protocol to roam (for free) on Verizon's network.
With insurance, and two smart phones it costs us: $153.00 per month. (add a line is $10 but with newer smart phones you can waive this fee)
Insurance has also dropped by $1 per phone.
It's whatever you know, they (at least spanish Vodafone) wouldn't fix your phone at all anyway ;)Quote:

I mean what good is a smart phone if you aren't paying for a data plan?
What is your plan, service provider, phone model?
I miss the data plan a few times, but 90% of the time I'm within wifi range, so I don't need it :PQuote:

Only joking :D
I use US Cellular. Pay a little over $100 a month for 2 phone, no data plan, don't need the internet on the small screen.
I like US Cellular as the customer service is great, plus the signal to the phone is always reliable. Haven't had a problem with them at all, well last week Tuesday night the phone cut out a bit, but that's because we were experiencing a huge blizzard, the towers were getting pounded.
Other than that, I'm happy with US Cellular. Not sure if people out of the country can get US Cellular.
Cool. With Verizon can use a SP without a data plan, but they don't tell you this.Quote:

The contract is for phone, not the plan, so they cannot tell you how, but they can ask you...
Most people don't understand that when they state you need a data plan: it is an offer to contract...If you refuse
their offer to contract: then they cannot force you to.
please elaborate on: Btw, with sprint you can hack the services protocol to roam (for free) on Verizon's network.Quote:

how do you actually do it?
Umm..can't you use it with all the providers? I can use it for 3cents/MB... it's just not worth it in my case.Quote:
