me too. im going from verizon to AT&T.

i generally like to avoid motorola phones at all costs, and if i want to go with a PDA-type phone i try to avoid anything that's Windows based, since it soon would have issues with bluetooth connectivity (people wont hear u on the other side)

RAZRs are among the worst phones on the market, pay for something that will still work in 6 months.

I am very much into phones....you can get a good deal on some phones directly from Motorola and take 15% off your phones....check this out

Want 15% off your next moto? Use PASS_15230 Good till 01/08

http://www.store.motorola.com/



I've only owned Motorolas and despite what they say about the razrs....they have came a long ways...I love my V3xx platinum (chrome) and it was a HUGE step up from the old V3..people always compliment me on it!

check out the store!


I just ordered my g/f a Gold Krzr unlocked with matching bluetooth earpiece for $260 shipped

Have you called Verizon and asked why your bill increased? If not, seems like you are just putting a bandage over the wound.

I've had Verizon for the last 4 years and my bill has never gone up over time, of course unless I went over my minutes.


And to answer your question, there are too many variables at play here. You need to state the area you live in. I'll give you an example, 2 of my friends have Cingular/ATT...full reception at their homes, but when they come to my area, they have 1 or no bar at all.

i am in NY state rockland county area. i am mostly in NY and NJ area and w/ verizon i get full bars always with great reception. i believe most if not all carriers have a family plan for business purposes and free phone deals, not unless i can use my same phone and just switch carriers.

2 years ago my cellphone bill was about $90 and over time it increased to $115. and i read a post earlier here that verizon is changing their contract a bit allowing them to send spam to your phone.

i think i got a few like text message plan deals, etc.

if you know someone that works at Sprint, ask them to hook you up with the sero plan. It's for family members or customers that only sprint employees can refer. It's pretty crazy because you can get tons of minutes for about 50% off the regular retail prices.
