Phone woes...

[Owlie]

I'm such a Luddite... I have a six year old Razr phone with the texting feature disabled.

I miss my Razr! It was such a good phone, and no trouble until it got to the point where the battery would no longer hold a charge. We couldn't find replacement batteries, so I ended up with a different phone. This one turns itself off all the time.

I've never had a problem with the iphone 3GS. (Except that I dropped it and broke the silent switch on the side). Occasionally in large gatherings I would have problems connecting to a network (and I mean LARGE gatherings - like during a Rockies game, when the couple of towers in that area couldn't handle all of the spectators).

Had 5 bars of full 3G coverage the entire way up Highway 85 on the western side of North Dakota with AT&T! And also full coverage watching the Leadville 100, so I could keep an eye on the live feed about the leaders while watching from where I was on the course.

But I'm still on the unlimited data plan so I wouldn't switch providers anyway.

That's why DH stays with AT&T and I stay with Verizon. Between the two of us, when we're out in the boonies, there's less chance that neither of us will have coverage.

Heh - we are the opposite (me with AT&T and him with Verizon) for the same reason!

I dropped my ATT iphone 3G back in March. It just so happened that my contract with ATT was up that same week. Thank goodness! ATT coverage is terrible in all the places I need coverage. I got the iphone4/Verizon and have been happy with it. I still have unlimited data, although the texting feature is $5 more. Since I telecommute, I text my co-workers quite a bit during busy spells. I use the phone for work, almost always with the headphones.

My friend replaced the broken glass on the old iphone and now has a perfectly-functioning ipod touch.

I just have a cell phone with texting/picture texting capabilities. I have no reason or really any use for a smart phone. My cell phone is through AT&T. My parents gave me one that is on their family plan. Long story on that one, short version is they this phone was actually for my grandmother who decided she didn't want one so they gave it to me so I could talk to them without using minutes on anyone phone's or long distance to call. That one is Verizon. The townhouse we lived in for a year I had horrible reception on both phones. Our new house the reception on both is fine.
