Im looking to buy a cell-phone for emergencies and would like some recommendations. Like I said, I wouldnt be using it a lot (hell I dont use my land line)- I just want it for my car and for when I go out. I want the cheapest plans, but dont know which is the cheapest. Verizon, Cingular, AT&T...?

Be sure to ask about the battery - that is, how long you can talk before it loses its charge. I bought a better cell phone about a year ago, a Motorola Star Tac, which brought me from an hour and a half to four hours. It was still not very expensive, as these phones go.

I have Cingular Wireless, but my parents pay for it, I never use my phone! lol

I have Verizon.... I was going to look into Sprint, but the reception around here hasn't been too great. Verizon is alright, I suppose...

Swimfan85 · 05-08-2003, 06:32 PM

i have sprint and its good..my rents pay for it...and im on it too much lol

*PinkLady* · 05-08-2003, 06:59 PM

From what I've heard, it would be cheaper not to get a cell phone.

*ShortCake* · 05-08-2003, 07:07 PM

I have the motorola ( the silver flip phone) right now.. ive had that for about a year or so. I think iam going to get a nextel. I love those things!

ILuvJoandBlair · 05-08-2003, 07:36 PM

Whatever you do, do NOT go with sprint. They're horrible.

JDS84 · 05-08-2003, 07:40 PM

I have AT&T

*ShortCake* · 05-08-2003, 08:25 PM

I have AT&T. ... I have heard pretty awful things about Sprint. They have cool looking phones though ! too bad their service sucks.

gotta disagree, i've been with sprint for nearly 2 years..their coverage, atleast in my state as well as most of the south, is perfect. Its Att and verizon that have alot of deadspots here, but i guess it really depends on where you are. back to the question, if its only for emergency, just get a pre paid phone from like walmart or something and there you go

AnaheimPMWitch · 05-08-2003, 10:08 PM

I have a ATT and well I cant live without it i'd go with that one if I were you

I have T Mobile and it's $39.99 a month with 600 whenever minutes and free nights and weekends, the phone is a Sony Ericsson T300 and it does everything but vacuum LOL it's one of those camera phones I love it

You wanna get yourself a Nokia.
Don't get a cell phone on a contract. If you're only planning on using it for emergencies then you're much much better off on pay-as-you-talk.
