What kind do i get?
I dont want to go on the innernets, I dont want to Make movies . I pretty much just want to make and receive calls and get messages.
In other words a pretty simple phone .

Verizon

i don't know jack about them, but i'd probably look on eBay and get an unlocked phone if i didn't want a contract. i'd assume you can just get a CDMA phone and call them to activate it. you might call them before doing it though.

i actually liked my Motorola RAZR before i got my iPhone

I like it alright. Hell it does moren what I want a phone to do
Its just im missing some calls and they dont show up

A bud called me the other day left a message. It never beeped or nuthin till i went to put it on the charger that night, then it told me i had a voice mail. I listened to it. But couldnt call back cause the thing went str8 to voice mail and never picked it up on caller ID .

that sounds more like a service issue than a phone issue to me, unless you could get better reception with a newer phone that was like quad-band or something

Guess that could be it. Not sure what time he callled But for awhile i was in Potea and should have had good reception there.
I very seldom have "BAD" reception here at the shack But it aint a real strong signal either.

Maybe I just keep what i got then. :confused:

yeah, Sprint and Verizon are CDMA, they use a whole different technology

i'm talking about GSM, i have T-Mobile, but i usually am using phones from AT&T

Ok are ya talkin to me in greek? :O

Anyway this has been a good one. Ive had it 3 or 4 years now and No Probs cept the recent missin calls .
Hell at One Tail Gate Dean knocked it out in the rain into a big puddle of water. that same nite it got dropped in an ice chest full of water. I pulled the battery and let it sit fer a coupla days. Replaced the battery and it wouldnt werk . I was fixing to go get a new one when the dayum thing rang. Its worked fine ever since .
