Choosing A Cellular Phone Service Provider
By
With the advent of the cell phone came the convenience of always being in touch. No longer were we tied to landlines in order to communicate – we now had a slick and compact companion that kept pace with our busy lifestyle. But along with the convenience came a multitude of decisions that had to be made including the type of phone that you would best be served by and the particular cellular phone service provider that would meet all your service needs at an affordable price.
Finding that cellular phone service provider, however, comes with some research and comparison shopping. Not every provider will make financial and logistical sense for your particular situation. Start with some online shopping which can be a great way to compare and contrast from the privacy of your own home and without the pressure from in-store employees.
Success can come with finding a cellular phone service provider that offers a balance between affordable service, quality customer service, and technologically advanced phones that provide the features that are important to you.
Pay attention – but also be wary of – incentive deals that a cellular phone service provider will offer in an effort to expand their customer base. While these deals may seem initially attractive, there may be caveats lurking in the fine print. Read everything you can find on each cellular phone service provider – assess their reputation among cell phone customers, their standing in the industry, and their available plans. Be sure that they offer a plan that works for your particular needs – including minutes, free phone service to friends and family, and rollover allowances.
Finally, be sure you understand the billing process for each cellular phone service provider – including all miscellaneous charges. And be sure you understand the contract before you sign with a cellular phone service provider including length of time and the availability of phone upgrades throughout the course of the contract.
A cellular phone service provider should ultimately make you feel comfortable and confident that you understand the service for which you are paying. Choose the provider that supports your cell phone service with quality customer service and affordable prices.

Cingular works best for us. My husband is also an over-the-road truck driver. We have had our existing plan for a couple of years and have been very pleased so far. There are always spots where the coverage is not good or you will drop calls but for the most part, we almost always have a good signal. He will need a pretty good size plan, though. All of our driving friends use their phones constantly, for work and for friends and family. Our plan is 4000 anytime minutes with free mobile to mobile, rollover, and all the extras so we pay about $200 a month. Of course, that is tax deductible as a business expense.

If you want to cancel cellular service without a penalty fee tell the rep your in Army and your deploying to Iraq and want to suspend the account. If they refuse (They will) tell them that it is a violation of federal law under the “soldiers and sailors act” to force service member to pay penalty disconnection fees while deployed with government orders. They will refuse to at first but after filing a BBB complaint and fcc complaint they will give in and cancel service for free

We use an ATT family plan, no texting or insurance but all the other extras like call waiting , forwarding, v-mail, nationwide roaming and unlimited long nationwide distance etc.
We have a block of time per month, about 700 anytime minutes with roll over minutes. We always have a surplus at the end of the month and seem to be losing roll over minutes faster than we can use them.
Bottom line we spend $110 total (with taxes etc) for 5 phones. And the price doesn't go up and down because we don't tolerate the over charges. Don't ever base your pricing on their advertised plan price without taking into consideration the taxes and fees. It is always a significant factor more, at least 15%, usually as much as 20%,
Make sure to use equipment wisely. No downloads or texting. No fancy hula hoop features like silly television over your phone. If the kids run up charges then they either have to work it off and pay the diference or lose their phone for a month.
The first time you confiscate a phone is the hardest but they get the idea quick that it is NOT an entitlement and if they don't cooperate on responsible usage then there is always the option of closing the account.
Have you talked to your ATT provider to get a better plan?
They will sit with you on the phone and help tailor a plan to your needs if you call them and negotiate. You can research the current plan offerings online but sometimes the sales rep will know of an option that is not listed.
BTW the family plan option also means that all calls between you and the other members do not accumlate minute charges. Also ATT does not charge minutes for any calls to other ATT phones.
I believe all the networks offer this option now anyway but often you ONLY get what you ask for so make sure you ask your sales rep for the sky even if you have to just settle for the clouds. ;~)

I do too. I think by far they are the best network.

shut up asshole If someone pays a company for a service and the company fails to provide that service then that customer should have the right to discontinue payments. And buy the ways asshole I am in the army.

Stop at almost any pharmacy and buy a tracfone for anywhere from $10 to $16. You buy units as you need them. I am in a program that gives me double units for the same price, but I use mine a lot.
They also have an international calling plan that makes calls to about 65 countries including Canada count as local calls and you can also get up to two more numbers for the same phone so that friends and family in either Canada or Mexico can call you as a local call.
If you would like more information, you can contact me or check tracfone.com

I am with Cricket.
I like it because I do not have to count minutes, I get unlimited text messaging for $5.00 per month. I haven't had a dropped call in many moons. My cell phone bills are manageable; no surprises.
I do not like the fact that when I call their 800# help line I call to some overseas phone center.

http://www.tracfone.com it is awesome it is a prepaid phone with no age limits no montly bills no hidden fees/costs and no contracts and with all the calling features such as free voicemail free caller id free call waiting and free nationwide long distance. all for as little as $10 a month calculated minimum usage because you have to buy a minute card every 60 or every 365 days depending on if you bought the year service card because the cheapest minute card is 20 dollars and you would have to add one every 60 days it would be around $10 a month which isnt bad. Hope this Helps!!!!!! Tracfone Wireless is awesome good luck choosing your phone!!
P.S. and a phone kit is only about $20 bucks @ your local walmart walgreens and family dollar stores etc. this includes up to 20 minutes and 60 days of wireless service included
And I will tell you when Tracfone Says they have "Nationwide coverage" they absolutely mean it I use it all the time and I would rather have nationwide coverage across the U.S. than have free mobile web on fridays with boost mobile but it all depends on the user preference or even if you want to make the monthly cost go down get a year service card for $100 and it works out to be $8.33 a month which is even cheaper than the $10 I mentioned earlier.
Hope this helps!!
