Seeking opinions on cell phone service
I'm thinking about upgrading my cell phone service and phone. I'm currently with AT&T. The service is much better now than three years ago when I bought it. I was originally going to just update my phone but since I have the flexibility of cancelling my current plan I started to shop around.

The deal that really jumped out at me was a Sprint plan and Blackberry 8330. The Blackberry would cost only $20 and I can get 450 anytime minutes, unlimited nights and weekends, unlimited messaging, and unlimited data (email, websurfing, GPS navigation, music radio, and television) for $69.99 plus taxes and fees.

It sounds almost too good to be true. Especially since I can get the NFL Network on the television. Does anyone have this plan? If so, any pros and cons you would like to discuss.

Are there any other plans out there that some of you are really satisfied with and would highly recommend?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or input you might provide.

Sprint is entirely underrated. I'll never leave them. Of course my 27% discount every month kind of insures that.

What is that? I know that as a new contract the Blackberry will only cost me $19.87 and Sams Club offers a $40 discount which covers some sort of initial set up fee.

Well, it was entirely coincidental that I got it. When I signed up the rep told me he was going to list me as a Citigroup employee. I have no idea why he did it, but I'm not complaining. It's saved me a lot of money over the last 4 years.

Tell them you work for Citigroup. It's the biggest discount they give. I never had to prove anything.

Blackberry service is $30-$40 a month on top of the phone service, without it you can't use their text service, internet, etc. Make sure you ask about it.

BTW - That isn't a Sprint thing, it is what RIM aka Blackberry charges to use their special service and you'd have to pay that with any Blackberry from any vendor.

Yes. The phone service is $39.99 and the Everything Data is an additional $30.00 for a total of $69.99. Of course after fees and taxes it will be closer to $80. And I'll probably add the $7 insurance on the $600 phone so that I can get it replaced if it's lost or stolen.

FYP.

Seriously, the insurance is a great idea. Mine was $100 deductible, but I don't think I had my Blackberry more than 2 weeks when I lost it. As a life lesson, may I suggest taht you do not leave your Blackberry sitting around in a strip bar. Wife was none too happy about that one. Lost $600 phone 2 weeks after I got it at a strip bar. UGH.

BTW, I love my Blackberry. I hae T-mobile and like the service and prices.

That sounds like a pretty good deal to me then. I just didn't want you to feel like you were getting screwed.

I love Sprint, and like supporting KC companies. Their customer service has improved, but they are the best deal and their network is way faster than the others. Chicago is getting their WiMax service in a month or so, which is super fast broadband like you have at home with your wireless router, but will cover the entire city and eventually nationwide. If your looking for discounts based on your company, check out Sprintusers.com in the message boards. there's a long thread listing a shitload under Tips and Tricks. Got my htc diamond, and love it! Good luck!
