Who offers unlimited text messaging? Options

[BlackCelicaGT94]

I do about 5,000 texts a month and verizon is charging me up the butt for it! I have 500 dollar cell bills for two months in a row! so im cancelling this weekend and going somewhere else!

So these are my requirements

unlimited text plan
video phone/camera phone
web browser
2,000 daytime mins


any suggestions on carriers and phones?

Thanks

uh, all places should have unlimited for like $10
how about calling instead of texting.
if there's 5,000 it's probably conversations...which means calling would work better.

ya most carriers charge $10 for unlimited texting. (cingular that i know for sure)

[zachattack15]

Cingular down here doesnt do that. They did for a few months but not anymore. I pay 9.99 a month for 1,000 text.

your right it was a promotional thing but they brought it back again. i got a mailer yestarday for it.

[BlackCelicaGT94]

i went to cingular but their camera/video phones were like 300 bucks and thats rediculous! I looked at sprint phones but the keypads arent big enough for texting!

i need a phone i can place down and not have to look at to text...the smaller the buttons the harder the no-look text is

[zachattack15]

"the no-look text" hahaha

[amysmojo]

I have unlimited text for $10 a month w/ Sprint. Then I can send unlimited pics & unlimited internet for $5 a month (its only $5 cause its my second line hehe)



I <3 Sprint they never dew me wrong (yes i said dew)

[Consynx]

how bout get a plan that includes everything you want and buy a phone from a retailer or something.. you can do it with T-Mobile and Cingular (i think)

Thats what I did, since my phone is basicly a sim card (teh brain) I bought a phone from the Philippines when I went there.. its hella cheap too

I sold my samsung there and they were all looking at it like its a new model hehe

tmobile offers unlimited text, email, and aim on the sidekick and is $20 extra/month. verizon has unlimited "IN" messaging which is similar but only pertains to verizon users only. that cost $5/month. cingular goes all the way to 2500 messages/month for $20. sprint has unlimted text for $15/month.

hmmmm i cant help but comment on ur feedback



tmobile? sure if you want a sidekick, but who wants that? haha

Verizon? SURE if she wants to stay w/ the company she is already with & hates!

cingular $20 for 2500??? ehhhhh she texts way more than that (i should know, I get half of them haha)

Sprint is only $10 & its unlimited! not $15 silly boy - cant beat that

[forkee]

hey theres nothing wrong with a sidekick!! i had one for 2 years. i guarantee u cannot find a better text messaging phone. it does AIM just as easy as on the computer. qwerty phones (like my lg vx9800 and the sidekick) are the only way to text. forget iTap and t9 predictive text, lol. thats so 90's.

as for sprint, i guess they lowered the price. =)

haaaa well i use to have a motorola A630 from tmobile I found it to be way better than the sidekick!!!

shown here:



but for whatever reason tmobile didnt offer unlimited text w/ that phone even though it had AIM just like on the side kick where its like being on a computer.

sidekick in my & natalie's opinion is too bulky & we would rather use t9 than a keyboard lol

Ive been with Sprint for like 3 years....& the unlimited text has been $10 the whole time, hmmm!

[forkee]

yea mine is just like that








sorry for the big pics =p

if u have verizon and the other person does. Its only $5 for unlimited text to another verizon customer.

[BlackCelicaGT94]

oh trust me i knwo all about verizon ive been with them since they were airtouch back when i was in 6th grade! i know probably more than the custom support people i talk to when i call them :-P haha j/k

but yeah its not working with them! so they are no longer an option

[forkee]

well then if u dont want verizon or tmobile, that limits u to cingular, sprint, or boost mobile. just get sprint like amy.

Where at, I need to get it if so, but I do not even see it as an option on their website

i work at radioshack and sell sprint, verizon, nextel and cingular. Most people who hate sprint have no reason to hate them at all. I would say 95% of customers who come in here complaining about sprint is because sprint cut there phone off for a late or non payed bill. Now think about it, you dont pay your bill, why should they let you use there service? Anywho, I have sprint, verizon and cingular and only pay $20 a month for each (gotta love employee plans) I get unlimited downloads, unlimited texting, and 2000 anytime minutes and unlimited night and weekends. While we had the hurricane here in Florida verizon > all other companies. But on a day to day thing I stick with my Sprint. Oh, and ALOT of people dont know this, but sprint is having a few new phones come out with bluetooth and EV-DO (aka high speed internet on the phone) you can find 2 or 3 of them on www.phonescoop.com but there are still 3 missing from there such as the "blade" now know as the a900 and 2 others, I'll take pics of them when i get a chance and post em on here. Once sprint offically releases these phones I think sprint with have the most badass phones out of every company.

I think the only reason i don't like sprint is because the reseption...at least at my house...can't hear a thing!

- - - i have cingular now...love it every bit!

- - - but texts coast $

- - - just don't text haha, later...

[BlackCelicaGT94]

I went out and bought a Razr from Tmobile last night! im keeping my verizon phones but putting them on the lowest plan possible just so then when i do head out of the area I can up the plan and know for sure i will get service just about anywhere! so basically i went from a minimum of 250 dollar cell bill (that was my lowest ever with verizon this year) to 90 bucks a month with Tmobile!

yay :-)

you didnt tell me you bought a razr....!!!!! is it silver or black???? hey nate in southern cali had one of those remember?!


oh & how is the reception?? you were complaining about only having 2 bars. is it like that everywhere you go? i remember having a reception problem when I tried tmobile bleh....

i thought u hated tmobile??? they have the worst reception. tmobile branded razrs are silver so chances are, thats what u have if u bought it from them. unless u got a pink or baby blue razr.....tmobile should be rolling those out soon. u would have to unlock cingular's black razr to use it for tmobile. thats what i did couple of months ago before reselling it cuz it was too...plain.

verizon is getting the new razr v3c coming out winter time. shoulda waited!

V3C

Took back my razr yesterday cuz i couldnt text worth crap on it and bought a sidekick. Ill give this a try for a week and see if i like it. So far i like it but i cant text while i drive! so that kinda sucks!

[forkee]

w00t for the sidekick! now ull never want another phone

[BlackCelicaGT94]

I cant text while i drive so i may have to take it back!

[WannabeGT4]

Check out the Nokia 6201. A great phone but doesn't cost an arm and a leg. The only drawback I see is the lack of bluetooth. I'm getting cingulars version, the 6202, in Dec. when I'm eligeable for an upgrade. just another option to consider.

[BlackCelicaGT94]

well im sticking with tmobile thats for sure! umm i have blue tooth and i dont really use it! so thats not a huge deal to me to have bluetooth! ill probably stick with the sidekick!

[forkee]

put the phone down and drive!

u dont want to end up like that lamborghini
