I'm still old school, with a simple land line and cordless Panasonic phone. I have no need for a cell phone. :shrug: (Yet at least.)

Well, seeing as how you use Sprint, you cannot get an unlocked phone since it's impossible to have an unlocked CDMA phone.

Yes sadly, but I cannot complain because i do get a bunch of other goodies with it.

I have a data plan question. For $20 a month AT&T sells the 2gb data plan (which I currently use) but for $30 a month you can get on the 3gb plan... However if you have the 2gb plan and go over it's $10 per gb....

So what's the benefit of the 3gb plan? If I only use 2gb in a month I'm only charged $20, but if I do happen to use 3gb I get charged $30...So why would I sign up for the $30/mo plan?

It is a marketing gimmick. It is simple bad math that america gets lured into. here is no point to it besides to make insecure customers feel better about themselves.
Futurama used this term for a title: "Executive delivery boy"
It is the same principle, except they steal your money.

I have this large plastic cordless handset that plugs into a phonejack in the wall. :wink:
Hubs used Blackberry's for years via his work. His main client switched to iPhones recently (eg all their employees have to use/get them) so now he has that. We don't have any mobile phones/carriers that we personally pay for.

I tried a pre-paid T-Mobile phone once, just a simple thing for making emergency calls etc. but let it lapse/felt like I had no need for it. Considered a new phone but all the plans and stuff confuse me/I have no idea what I'd need or be willing to pay for so I just stick to that wall jack. I don't travel much/need mobile anyway.

AT&T, HTC Desire.

It's nice have an android powered phone, I think. If only for the Free Angry Birds.

Whether or not Verizon is good depends on your local coverage. Good idea is to look at coverage maps, even better is to ask friends/relatives/neighbors/coworkers who have Verizon what the coverage is like locally. Verizon routinely tops the mobile carriers most satisifed customer list, but if your local coverage is crap, that's useless.

Another thing to note, since I know you like buying your phone outright: there is no advantage to buying your phone outright on Verizon since they use CDMA. You cannot buy an unlocked phone for them and you can't use their phone on any other service (some Verizon phones can be used on MetroPCS, but that's because MetroPCS unlocks it and copies the serial number to their network -- serial number authentication is how CDMA networks work). Finally realize that Verizon is the most expensive mobile phone provider in the US IIRC. Also note that Verizon doesn't offer unlimited data either. Sprint is the only one of the big four that offer unlimited data, and Sprint is also CDMA so there is no such thing as an unlocked phone for Sprint either.

As to your unlimited data complaint against AT&T. It came out that AT&T is throttling users with unlimited data plan as soon as they go above 3 or 5 GB. http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/03/01/limited-unlimited-data/

what phone and carrier do you have

I have no cell phone and, therefore, no carrier.
My sisters find it odd I don't carry a phone. I, however, find it soothingly peaceful.

I do have one land-line phone at my office, but that's strictly for bookings.

Motorola Triumph with Virgin Mobile. Grandfathered in at $25 for Unlimited Text, Data (capped at 2.5 gb) and 300 minutes. It serves it's purpose. Better than any other phone I've ever owned and the coverage isn't terrible where I use it (Mostly in Milwaukee).

I live up on the moutains. The only carrier that actually has a decent signal most of the time is AT&T. They practically own the cell service up here. There's good service where I live, but go, say, into the mountains, and you lose pretty much all cell service. And most of the radio signals.

Have you considered waging war on the mountains with copious amounts of high explosives?

I don't need to, the mining companies have been slowly doing it themselves for the past 150 years.

I currently have a LG Cookie (KP500), and I'm currently using it on giffgaff (a small virtual network operator). It's rather embarassing in a way, because I'm currently working for a competitor network, but I have no interest in buying a new, compatible phone nor the necessary signal strength at home to make a new purchase viable.

I have an original Droid on Verizon. For being 2 years old it keeps up remarkably well with modern Android phones. But watching everyone around me get much, much better phones for very cheap is making me feel the itch to upgrade. My girlfriend got a Galaxy S2 for $0.01, my mom, who a few days ago had a feature phone, now has a Droid Razr for $50. But this phone... it still works so damn well.

I have an iPhone 4 16GB on Rogers.

I have the $65 dollar plan with the $30 4GB data plan so it all comes to just under $100 a month.
