This is for my wife. She's got to upgrade to a 4 gig Iphone (or some such) that has, among other things, email capability. She/we will thus have to have unlimited phone calls, unlimited texting and graphics/pictures, and internet/email.
At the present we have AT&T but have to pay extra for texting, pictures and email.
What companies/plans would you recommend? thanx so much.
It’s not the “packages”, it is the spotty service.
I live in a Metro, upscale Suburb and major development, yet there is no cell coverage here, no matter the vendor.
I like Verizons’ packages.
Hopefully that isn’t your kitchen table. My wife was sitting on the couch “talking” to our daughter who was in her room 15 feet away. We don’t have those things anymore. I think all these advances in communication are degrading people’s ability to communicate.
You are right about the Verizon service in NY and Texas. I have Verizon (AZ). My daughter (NY) and My son (TX) both have AT&T. What ever works best, where you are the most.
You got to be kidding? Wow!
From what I hear, an everything plan for an iPnone is something like $120 - $130. Sprint has a Almost everything (450 minutes to land line phones, calls to/from cell phones unlimited) for $69.
That was exactly my initial reaction. According to them it went downhill from there.
My wife talked me into a family plan that consisted of 3 lines, wife, 2 kids. Unlimited. They were supposed to pay their share (all of it). Kids in high school. Devolved into dad picking up the tab and when the contract period was over it was month to month with Alltel. Then Verizon bought Alltel. Nobody asked me if I wanted to be a Verizon customer. I don’t. No more cell phones. Basic land line. I unplug it whenever I want.
Personally, I’m a BIG-TIME Net10Wireless fan. It works out to around $16 per month, with limited minutes. But if you have a phone at home and work, you wind up needing very few minutes...and they add up if you don’t use them (3000 in the bank for me at this point).
btt
Just say no to cell phone packages!
Skype: $30 per year and $3 per month for land line number, call forwarding and voice mail, unlimited calls.
Prepaid cell phone plan for emergencies. Less than $100 per year.
Yes! We use Tracfone. Great value.
