I have service with Cingular and my term is up soon and was wondering if anyone knew of a decent phones and plans out right now. I only use the phone a few times a week but would like a nicer phone than the nokia 5500. Can anyone give me some advice??? Thanks
 
I use verizon. I just got a new SamsungACH-130 phone - it was $100 with a $50 rebate, making it $50. They have a gazillion plans to choose from.

You can look at all the different plans and phones on their websites.

Thanks jipsy!!

I think I didn't quite word it the way I wanted...what I am trying to ask is does anyone have good or bad experiences with some of these company's and phones?

I had a friend who went through several phones and was never satisfied. Just looking for the best product!!
 
The January issue of Consumer Reports magazine has several articles about choosing a cellular company, calling plan, and cell phone. I know Verizon Wireless had the highest ratings for customer satisfaction. I have Verizon, and my husband has Sprint PCS.
 

I've actually been pretty happy with Verizon Chrissi. I have had four different phones since I started with them. The first was the cheapie they sold - it was an audiovox. I changed service areas because I moved, so when I redid my plan I got a new phone. The second was a similar cheapie phone. I pulled my keys out of my pocket one day and the phone flew across the jobsite and shattered LOL. My last phone was a Motorola - I liked it too, but it doesn't work well when you drop it from the second floor into a fresh patch of concrete. Hence my new Samsung flip phone, which I adore.

We are allowed to choose our own service at work and we just turn in our bills on our expenses. I know that people who have to use Sprint hate it. The ones that have Cingular seem to be happy too. There are two of us with Verizon and we both like it.

You can always change/upgrade your plan. I actually downgraded my plan on the recommendation of the salesperson the other day because I don't use near the minutes I was getting. She saved me $50/month
 
Cool jipsy, thanks for all the info!!

I feel your pain when it comes to dropping your phone...my dad pumps concrete almost everyday hence the fact that he constantly drops/loses his phones!! lol
 
One thing, Chrissi, that is tough in recommending cell phones and service is that it is a very localized utility. What company and phone may be great for me in the Chicago are may be terrible for you in the Tampa area. I do think that most of the major players in the marketplace are generally good in most places, the industry being about 20 years mature now.

This site may help a bit to review various phones, carriers and plans.
