Phones

[ksmith]

You're getting a new cellphone. What features would you look for? Which features did you think you'd use that you wound up not using? Which features have proven more useful than you thought they would?

Long story short--I have to upgrade my phones. My current phones are a couple of old candy bars, a Nokia 8200? 8600? and an even older Ericsson. I think I could text with the Nokia if I wanted to, but I never felt the need. I pretty much just use them to make calls.

One of my accounts is an old AT&T Free2Go plan that I have to convert to a Cingular pay as I go plan. They offer a bottom of the line phone, which is likely all I need. But if there's something cool and useful to be had...?

All I look for is battery life and does it send text messages. I've always found that the basic LG flip phones are the cheapest and last longest. IF you sign up with Verizon, they give you a free phone every two years. I haven't paid for a new phone in years.

They offer discounted Verizon personal accounts at the day job, but the cheapest I found was about $33/month. I've been paying about $25/every 90 days for recharge with 100% rollover, and I never use all of my minutes.
