My Motorolla StarTac Bit The Dust!

[Tuffcookie]

I loved this cell phone! I've had it since 1992!!! My service was with AirTouch Cellular, which was later taken over by Verizon.

I tried charging the battery and when that didn't work I realized it was over!

The only time I used it was in my car for emergencies. I had a special rate of $10 for 20 minutes a month. That was fine. I'm not one of those people that walks around talking on their cell phone.

I knew that if I got a new phone that plan was gone forever. Last night I went to the Verizon store and got upgraded to a new phone and plan. I got a Motorola RAZR V3m. It will take me a month to learn all the features! Now I have 450 minutes a month!

I guess I'm going to have to use this phone alot more to get my money's worth!

 

[OK!]

Oh my gosh, I remember using StarTacs as a giveaway when I worked for a cellular company back in 1995! Wow, was seeing that name a blast from the past!

Congrats on the new phone. I would LOVE to get a new phone, but the guy who signed me up for a new plan (I always get 1-year deals) signed me up for a 2-year plan and I didn't notice at the time (like I said, I always get one-year deals and had specifically told him I wanted a 1-year deal, so--silly me--I assumed that that's what he'd signed me up for), so now I can't get a new phone without paying full retail (colossal ripoff) till something like April. Grr.

I had a Startac, but I had lots of trouble with it. After that, I had a Samsung which lasted almost 5 years. I now have the Razr also. I was able to get T-Moble to continue my old plan, but with a new 2 year contract. I get 300 minutes a month for $29.95.
