What's your cell phone?

[Mozgus]

Share your carrier and model. I'm not much of a phone person, so absolutely none of the big names in my area had plans cheap enough for me. There's just no way I'd get my money's worth on a $30-40 a month contract plan. I went with TracFone, which is a prepaid company. Good prices, no catches, but notoriously bad customer service. With the Double Minutes For Life feature that I've had on both my phones from them, and various coupon codes found via google, I pay about 8 cents a minute. So basically I pay $15-20 a month.

I went with the Motorola W370 which is just about the best model they offer, but is quite mid range compared to what the big boys offer. I like it, and feature wise, it has practically everything I wanted, and nothing I didn't. It's a budget imitation of the RAZR model, I think. And today I learned how to cheat their bullshit firmware locked system on wallpapers, screensavers and ringtones. They try to force you to buy them via their site and no one else, but you can just email GIFs and MIDIs to [email protected], and merely pay the cost for the downloaded data. So of course, I themed out my phone, Megaman style.





And my ringtone. The phone has a pretty damn good MIDI engine.

I'm on the Iphone. Hell, I'm browsing with it right now. When the wife drags me to the mall, I usually browse with my phone

some 5 dollar samsung phone... I think it has a camera on it. The hell if I care though.

There's a big crack in the screen on the front too.

What it does do:

Let's me push buttons with numbers on them to call people. YEY!
The battery lasts a good 2 to 3 days with habitual use... great for someone like me who always forgets to plug his phone in, or decides to up and leave for a couple days in Miami or something and forgets to bring my car charger.



My last phone was lavendar and was by samsung as well. It took several years of beatings and the only reason I swapped it out was because the battery finally stopped holding its charge. This phone was cheaper then a replacement battery. Oh yeah and it's library size for phone numbers couldn't fit all my numbers.

And the phone before that was the best phone I've ever owned. A nextel brick, I don't remember who made it (wouldn't be surprised if it was Samsung as well), but this thing was the best phone I've ever owned. I dropped it in a canal, it fell off of my 18-Wheeler going 65 down the NJ Turnpike, took my throwing it against a wall repeatedly, and sat in my back pocket while I was at work on the truck (which is one hell of a feat for any phone). It still worked the day I got rid of it, but I switched service carriers and had to change phones. Very upset about that one. Best feature of this phone, I guess the manufacturer knew it was going to be used by working men a lot and stuck this MASSIVE battery in it. I once got 8 days of use out of the phone with out charging once. And this was using it constantly all day to call customers, relay with the dispatcher, and yell with my father.


I did have one of them glam phones for 2 months. You know with the media player shit and cameras and internet connection and built in keyboard. The thing was big, annoying, fragile, and my buddy gave it a virus by surfing the web on it (stupid idiot). I hated the thing, I literally had to dress around my phone. I've never carefully selected my out fit to go out drinking... and I was finding myself saying, "ohhh, noo, I love these pants, but I can only fit my phone, 1 pack of smokes and my cash... but not the wallet. Hrmmm..."

I don't ever want to catch myself saying that kind of shit again. Oh and it had a belt clip thing... who can say fanny pack looking piece of shit?

Nokia 6300 with T-Mobile as my carrier. T-Mobile sux BTW. I don't use my phone often and usually just leave it some place where I can't even hear it ringing. I am not like one of those people that need his/her phone with her 24/7. My personal belief is that a phone should just be used for calling, not for browsing the net or playing games or listen to music or taking picture or movie or checking email, you know all the options on the overhyped expensive iPhone. I still believe in that now. I only got the phone a couple of months ago because I have been involved in a couple of emergences in the past where a phone would have helped greatly. Fortunately, I am part of a family plan with three other people so I don't have to worry too much about cost.

I have the Samsung D900. The only thing that annoys me a little is that you can't set your own text ringtone (wanted to have some game related sound). But, I'm not one of those people to upgrade to the newest models every month so I'll keep using this until it breaks. I use an o2 PAYG tariff but have a bolt on that lets me get certain free calls for £5 a month.

peace4myheart, would you recommend the 6300? I'm thinking of getting one for my mam as it's her birthday soon, and she likes Nokia models.
