Astral is absolutely right. If possible, buy direct.
As a seller of three different carriers, it can be upsetting at just how little we can do. We don't always know about the best rate plans, we can't do any activation/deactivations, and if you have any problems with the service we can't help at all, the only thing we can do is swap the phone-if it is within 14 days.
Although my job actually involves selling cell phones through an "authorized retailer", I too would recommend buying direct.
If you're into games and internet, and you live in a big city, I'd definitely recommend Sprint. Their new phones are mindblowingly cool, I'm looking at getting a discount on one soon myself.
Verizon and Cingular have the best coverage, it's pretty much a crapshoot. Cingular has better coverage in the lower USA, but Verizon has better phones.
:) aaaahhhh, I see. MANY THANKS from everyone who answered.
Well, I figured that it's time for me to get one for m'self, and now that I plan on getting an additional car, I need to also have one for my wife. I seem to get the same thing from just about everyone I ask, in respect to the "stay the hell away from Sprint" thing.
Anyone has any additional info, please post it up.
I love TNL, so many helpful people, yeah. :D
Yea be careful of Cingular, they have no trial days, so you cant take it back even in the first week without a fight. Also they can have crappy coverage and have there circuits tied in certain areas alot.
