True that.... Im with you!!!! The pic of the phone I have above is my 5th model of the same phone (permanent error) and Ive only been a member for a year. They wont give me any other phone except this big and bulky one that doesnt even compare in value to the one I have... So every 2-4 months my phone locks up and I have to get a new one... I think they should stop making/selling my model! Which blows cuz it is sleek and Id like it if it didnt freeze up. Technology, it always has its flaws!

I have a landline and a cell phone. I got my cell phone though through TracPhone because I did not wanna deal with bills every month. I got mine several months ago. I bought enough minutes and time that I don't have to get anymore till Sept. The model I bought was Nokia 2126. I spent like 15.00 on my phone. I like it it has a speakerphone on it, I can change the wallpaper on it, has a flashlight thing on it. Its perfect for me because its an in case of emergency phone.

I have the pink motorola razr. My current provider is AT&T. It's my only phone- no land line here....i don't need one.

I do not like the razr phones- they're not made to well. my first one i recieved for my birthday last year as a gift- it was so defective we had to mail it in and get a replacement. The replacement is not much better. So when i'm in the market for another plan next time- i will switch phones as well
I do love the pink color though and the fact that it's soo thin and easy to carry around.

Your like my bf... hehe he has three cell phones. One was a phone I used to use (an add a phone) but he shut it off on me once so I went and got my own (lol sucker shouldnt have did that cuz now he has to pay for it every month)... Well then he had another add a phone added to his account because it would be cheaper? Sadly to say he has 3 phones, is with the same company as me, probably has 500 more minutes than I do, and he only pays $20 more a month than I do. Thats the benefit of being with a company for so long... Im being raped compared to his deal!

LOL! Mine has been replaced once and it's still a piece of
. To be honest, I'm not even sure they gave me a new phone.
I can't wait to get a new phone. I'm not getting a Samsung again, that's for sure.

I have just switched to Verizon and love it so far. I have the Verizon 7570 camera flip phone and the only feature that I really use often is the web browser. I don't have a pc at home so it's nice to check my yahoo mail and shop on eBay from my phone. It's also my only phone, I don't have a land line. I'd buy an iPhone if I could afford it and if it was offered on all networks.
Both my husband and I have cell phones (we have Cingular...I used to have Verizon but was so disappointed in their customer service that I switched...no problems with Cingular...they've been wonderful).

We still have a land line as well..mainly because we have a fax machine at home that we use, and I don't always like talking on my cell phone. I have a Motorola Razr....not interested in the iPhone at all. So many people rushed out to buy it, yet the standard "bugs" have yet to be uncovered. I'd rather wait to hear if it's worth it and to see the price come down, plus service for it is expensive because of the data transfer to use the internet, e-mail and such.

We have three cell phones on our plan (one for hubby, one for me, one for our grown up son) and we still have a land line. The cells are on a family plan through ATT/Cingular, and the land line is on Comcast cable.

We all have the LG flip camera phone, with texting and internet access...not state of the art but I like mine well enough. We usually keep our phones for at least two years and then go for the cheap or free upgrade phones, so we have another year with these phones.

The I phone seems nice, but I am not sure I need that.

My mom hates Sprint with a passion. She got a plan through them only to find out that she doesn't get reception from her house (at all) and in the majority of the town they live in....and they don't live in the middle of nowhere! I get perfect reception with Cingular from their house and surrounding area.

We do have a land line, and since it includes a long distance plan, we get our DSL at a reduced rate. We also have cellphones, Samsungs -- his A570, mine A650 -- which were deliberately the ones with the fewest extra features at the time they were bought -- all we want is a phone -- all the other features are better handled by some other device. They've been great little phones, and we've consistantly resisted pressure from our service provider to upgrade so they could inveigle us into a different plan. We deliberately bought these phones, rather than taking a contract, because none of the currently offered plans is as good as the one we're grandfathered on.

I only have a mobile. There is a landline here but I don`t use it. It`s easier to do Pay-as-you-go.

I `m with Vodafone

I have a cell and a land line. I only have the land line because I use it for my internet access, if it wasn't for that I wouldn't even bother with a home phone. I only use the cell for calls, I don't text or have internet access from the cell, don't want it either.

I have both - I get DSL broadband through my phone line so have that at home and use it if I want to make a call at home. I can't get a signal on my mobile in my flat anyway and I don't fancy having to go outside everytime I want to make a phone call.

My mobile is a nokia (6680) and I'm with Orange. Landline is with BT.
