Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Cingular / June 2005Changing plans right after new contract
I've done this in the past but it's been a while, so I'm wondering if anyone has done it recently. I'm a very low minutes user, currently on a $9.99/mo plan, and I'm not on contract. I still have an old TDMA Startac :). Well, my phone is wearing out, and I'd like to get a new one. My current thinking is to sign a contract at $29.99/mo to get a new phone, and then in a few months change to a lower plan. I'm also a techno geek, and would love to get a RAZR phone. I'm probably going to jump on one of those rebate deals. Has anyone done this recently? Have any advice? Thanks Too late. The $29.99 was eliminated May 31. They now start at $39.99 (450 min - all plans are National with no local plans available (most areas, check with a local store or customer care for your specific area).

FYI, there is no longer a $29.99 price plan as of 6/1/05, and if you ever leave your particular plan, you would not be able to go back.

I asked about that and they will only activate a phone under the same plan on the same technology as the current plan, so I'd have to find a new TDMA phone. > FYI, there is no longer a $29.99 price plan as of 6/1/05, and if you > ever leave your particular plan, you would not be able to go back. Oh well, I guess I'll have to hatch another scheme... Thanks for the info. > I'm also a techno geek, and would love to get a RAZR phone. I'm probably > going to jump on one of those rebate deals. > Has anyone done this recently? Have any advice? I've heard many people say the RAZR is not a great phone. They marketed this thing very well. I *WANTED* one pretty badly. And I don't even remember when or how I started wanting it. But then I read the people felt it was weird to hold (to wide?) and I held one at a kiosk and played with it a bit. That took the edge off wanting one. If you are a low minutes user - don't waste your money. Just get over this desire. That is your opinion only. Mine is EXACTLY the opposite. I kept Best Buy open til 9:45 the evening of May 31 only because I love the Razor and I wanted to activate an additional line of service but that was the last day for the $29.99 plan. With the tremendous price drop on the Razor ($149 at BB and you don't even have to wait on a rebate) it was too much for me to pass up. Everyone has different preferences of course but to me the Razor design is perfect. While the height & width are a little larger (resulting in a larger, easier to read screen) the depth and weight are almost nonexistent. My biggest fear is that one day I will throw my pants in the washing machine and ruin it as usually can't even tell it is in my pocket.

And who might these people be? hahahaha The RAZR is a great phone, read the reviews at phonescoop.com. Steve >>>I'm also a techno geek, and would love to get a RAZR phone.

[quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Steve While considering purchase, the negatives I've read is that the address book does not store street addresses and that the memory is small and not expandable. Miles It is definitely not perfect. What you say right about the addressbook but my biggest complaint with the addressbook is that you can only search by the first letter in the name rather than anything more specific. If you have 20 people whose name starts with S and you are looking for Stuart you may be scrolling for a long time. All that said, I still think that it is a terrific phone (90% of that is based on the form factor though) and I'm glad I bought mine. If size isn't an issue there is really precious little difference between that & a V551. Fred > >>>I'm also a techno geek, and would love to get a RAZR phone.

If someone hacks up a FLEX to fix that I may give it a try. You sure can't beat the latest Amazon deal: Free. >It is definitely not perfect.
