This is totally not poker related, but this is the only online forum I belong to, so I was wondering if anyone can help me? I need a cell phone. I never had one before. What do you all recommend?

[allinbluff35]

get one that turns off and automatically updates the time, and don't rid yourself from anger through your cell phone

What do you all recommend?Not getting one.Why on Earth would you want people to be able to call you all of the time. I've never understodd that.

Shop on the web a bit, see who gives you the right kind of minutes for a good price, and then pick your favorite features on one of their phones. The service is more important than your phone.I have been very happy with T-Mobile here in Atlanta.

With Smash here Why get one so you could be as cool as all the 4th graders who laugh at me :evil:

If you don't want to talk, turn the ringer off.

Motorola has a good line of flip phonesCingular and US Cellular are probably the best two providers, I have the second one

If you don't want to talk, turn the ringer off.I think you're missing my point. The whole point of having one is that you can be reached by phone, or make a phone call when you're away from home or whatever, right?I've never had that happen. Just a crazy old anti-social loner, I guess.

what about family emergencies, jobs, and general convenience?

I'm going to have bust out Webster's fo J-O-B.....

Most cell plans are cheaper or about the same as a land lineThe extra convenience and emergency factor pushes cell phones aboveI used to hate cell phones too, Smash, thinking I'd be the last man in America without one but I realized that it just makes more sense in the long term

[Smasharoo]

what about family emergenciesWhen there's one that's helped by me knowing right away, I'll get a cell phone., jobs,When I have a job that requires me to speak to anyone else that I work with more than once a month, I'll get a cell phone. and general convenience?Just not that lazy, I guess.Which is odd, because I'm really pretty lazy.

I live out in the sticks and the only thing that picks up WELL is Verizon.

Verizon sucks hard..bad reception a lot, terrible serviceBUT they do have the biggest range of any carrier, unfortunately that has kept them in business

Yeah must be your area. I have had about every service and Verizon is by far the best. I have never had a reception problem. I also live a hell of a long way from Wisconsin.To agree with the other poster yes...if you want to actually TALK on your cell phone avoid Nextel.
