HowardForums says call the 800 number the plans are still available...
I went into Verizon on Saturday and they don't have any special plans....just the 450 for $40 or 1000 for $60 and the nights only start at 9:00.
I went with Sprint. 400 minutes with nights at 7:00 for $40.

Looks as though you are using your nice internet voice again?....

7 pages on what cell phone should I get is quite hilarious. Alot of wasted space for a cell phone. I realize you want info, but why not go find out yourself. Mabey go out and look at what they all actualy have offer. Im sure for as much as you will use it, being as though you don't travel much any of the choices should suffice.
You are right, I should have just gone to the store that has plan A, even though they could offer terrible customer service, poor reception, and hidden details that I would have to deal with later :rolleyes:
I'm trying to get as much feedback as I can so that I can go into this knowing what to expect. Through this thread, I think I got perspectives of each carrier that I wouldn't have got by just walking into a store.

I have went with him to many places dumbass..........he just wanted input.

Back in the cities, my friend doesn't get service in half of the places that I do with Verizon. Granted its back in the cities, but even up here, I get better service then they do.

Then I got Verizon and it was ok...Wasn't happy with it though, seemed my bill was always high.

Then I got Cellone and hated it, yeah, its great if you and all your buddies are from buttfuck, ND. But, I rarely spend much time out on ND, except Fargo. I got it because my wifey had it, so I could get free cell to cell minutes. Anyways, I disliked the service so much that I paid the cancellation fee and got out.

Now I have sprint and I love it. I share a fair and flexible plan with my brother, and it works out great. Yeah, some will say if you stray off an interstate the service goes to shit. This is true. But, for you, I would say it definately is the best option. They now have the fair and flexible America plan, (I think that is what it is called). So, I really see no way to beat Sprint, you can get nights that start at 6, free roaming, and no overage charges, what more could you ask for??

PS I am watching the Victoria's Secret show right now, forgive any errors;)

when i bought my new phone.. i paid $160 and got a $100 rebate form to fill out and send in. i lost the form and went in and got a new one. they sent it back saying the dates didnt match.. blah blah blah. long story short.. i ended up getting a check for $150 instead of $100 to make up for the extra time and effort it took to get it.

it is a little odd sometimes though. im roaming in my friends basement in west fargo... just a few blocks behind home depot.. but im not roaming in the cities anywhere.

What else do you want to know about SPRINT?
I'd like to hear other's experiences. I understand that you had great luck, but I'd like to hear how Sprint has dealt with bad situations as well.

If you have any good or bad experiences with Sprint, post 'em up!

Tin, aren't you part of the T-Moile posse? I coulda sworn I seen you on there sayin "fees, shorty fees".

If was part of the T-Mobile posse, I would be driving a Ferrari F430 by now rather than that ricer Honda.

1. due to good customer service(45th location, the people at best buy are dicks)
2. No broken calls
3. Cheap plan(mine was like 39.99 for 200min and unlimited nights&weekends
   Of course that was two years ago, so things have changed, I know my dad just enrolled my aunt with Sprint, and her bill is 39.99 with daytime minutes and unlimited nights&weekend, with $5 for every 100min over your limit.

I wanted to try a different provider so I switched over to Verizon(bad decision).
Pros=In calling

Cons

1. Broken calls all the time both in Moorhead and Twin Cities
2. Doesn't work on the I94, St.cloud up to Fergus Falls.
3. Not a big fan of Verizon's phones
4. My bill right now is $53.xx includes tax for 400 anytime minute and unlimited nights&weekeds.

I still have a year with Verizon on my contract. As soon as i'm done with Verizon, Cingular and T-Mobile would be my choice.
