Have you tried taking a look at Cricket? I believe they're carrying Android phones now. I think you can even keep your number.

You are one angry person.. Is there a post when you aren't ripping on something?
seriously, what is this crap? Why does everything you post contain a sentence about how you're the only intelligent person in the world?

Sure there is!

He has spoken quite favorably of Phantasy Star Online, DDR, and futanari hentai. He likes at least three things.

I have a very low tolerance for bullshit and an extremely realistic view on the world. The truth is that most people are idiots. Why did they get rid of external antennas on every single new phone? Because people are idiots and prefer a phone that looks slick over one that actually works.

A few comments:

Any phone number can be ported to a new carrier. I've done this multiple times for cell phones and house phones (VOIP). This is called Local Number Portability.

Phones that you get from your provider are not free. They're $200-$600. They need to lock you in a plan at a high rate for a certain time period to pay for the phone.

I would prefer if they separated out the phone from the plan so that you can buy it separately. If I were to keep my phone for 5+ years, there's no reason why I should be subsidizing someone getting a phone every 1-2 years.

Personally, I have a TracPhone. The quality is very good but the phone sucks. It's very basic. I wouldn't mind paying $200 for a good phone but that option doesn't exist.

@noise - the virgin plan doesn't seem too bad. $25/month I could live with.
