<![CDATA[help on cell phone]]>So i have had this phone for almost 2 years now, and it decides to go out on me. My contract ends in July but i need a temporary phone. My phone is verizon. What are my options in getting a phone? so far i know of:

a. replace the phone (80 bucks)
b. tough it out without gimpy phone
c. get a new phone before the 2 year contract ends and miss out on the 100 dollar rebate
d. get a temporary used phone and program it myself online (free)
e. buy a completely new phone and continue it through the next contract agreement.

as far with choice e, i want to run with verizon, but not buy from the verizon website. In other words, do unlocked phones work with this courier? if they do, what websites sell phones that are not carried by verizon but still work? I am looking for a phone that has a good daily organizer or scheduler.doesnt need to have a camera, just something to help plan my day.

thanks for your help and input,

Kenn

Verizons interface > Moto's Interface

Its really just personal preference. I loved the motorola interface on my E815 and V710 and I hate the Verizon one on my v3c

yeah its on a family plan so we get the rebates.

Jim, how much does that phone retail for? (The new samsung i mean)

Verizon has the best phones, at the moment, so I'm not sure why you'd want to reprogram a shitty sprint or alltel phone (isn't alltel just a reseller now anyway?)

CDMA phones can be activated on the internet via Verizon's site... given that its a verizon branded phone.

The Verizon interface blows though. All of their phones no longer use the native interface, just Verizon's shitty one.

I know we got ours like 1 month before our plan ended and we still got the discount.

I would stick it out! If you need a planner hell get a paper one. Hell thats alot cheaper.

so your saying i should add a phone line and buy another phone. in doing this, they will give me a rebate but the contract will still end on july...correct? If so, then when the contract ends, I can buy another phone with the 100 dollar rebate and switch phones if i so desire. correct?

They have excellent customer service, that is where I do all my cell phone stuff now.

Go into the Verizon store and ask them. I think you are eligible 2 months before your contract is up.
