New Cellphone

I just want to make sure you're aware that Blacberry phone have to have internet access. It will be a minimum of $30 a month per phone, plus your basic minutes, plus texting ,etc. Blackberry gets expensive. Are you or your parents willing to have a 2 year contract for that?

Yes, I know...they told me about that and Moesha told me about it yesterday too. I'm gonna pay it...my mother has already said she won't. I don't expect her to though since it is for me.

Both phones have to be activated and have the extra data plan per month and it has to be on your plan. They had the buy one get one free last month when I got mine also. I asked if I could get one and my friend get the free one. Both of them would have been activated. Let wouldn't let us do that. No one else on my plan, who is only my mom, wanted to pay the extra monthly fees for a blackberry. So, I could have gotten a "free" one, but I didn't because of the conditions on the phone. I also could have gotten a free netbook instead of the extra blackberry. Again that required an extra $40 per month for the Verizon internet service with it. Make sure you understand all of the terms before agreeing to anything. I hope if you do get the Tour that you love it. If you do, I'll give you a few hints that I've learned so far that may help you out.

Also, the $30 a month data plan doesn't include texting. So if you have a texting plan now, you'll have to keep that. That's why I said before that it was $30 (plus taxes) in addition to whatever amount you are paying now.

Oh....I understand...thankyou Sure, I'll let you know if I get it and you could give me some hints--that'd be cool

Hey Moesha, I ended up getting the BlackBerry Storm. It's pretty cool--just got it today...I haven't done much on it they said to let it charge for like 10 hours and stuff..just thought I'd tell ya

[Moesha]

You will have to let us know how you like it. My friend got the Storm first. She just couldn't seem to get used to having to click the keys. And she said that she had a hard time judging which key she was pressing. Someone at the store told her that it had taken her about a month to get used to them. I hope you enjoy it!

I just got a new phone as well. I had been with Verzion since the cell phones came out many a moon ago. I felt they were very expensive and my bill kept getting extra charges. Could not wait till my contract was up. One of my coworkers has Alltel, they are being bought out by Verzion so I stayed away from that. I went to AT&T but had terrible service and my work, the building I am in is weird like that. Had the AT&T for two weeks and went over to Sprint. Love it.
I have 450 any time minutes, nights and weekends start at 7 instead of 9 with AT&T and I have unlimited texting. Total cost a month $49.00. My phone slides two ways up and down, have a full keyboard on it. I don't need to have e-mail or Twitter or Facebook, just phone and text, oh it has unlimited pictures too. I think its a great plan with a cool phone.
