Personally, I hate the term wireless. It sounds archaic, kinda like the horseless buggy, y’know?
Anyway, aversion to the term or no, I need a new cell phone and, ideally, a new provider. At the moment, I’m using AT&T’s nifty, if overpriced, regional advantage plan which gives me a whopping 400 minutes at $49.95. Sad ain’t it? But at the time it was the only phone to include Hawaii, California, and Las Vegas in its “home” calling area, which is good because I’m a Hawaii kid transplanted in Los Angeles, with a chronic gambling problem. It also has free long distance (but who doesn’t, these days?).
Anyway, between moving home and finally passing the one year “yay, I’m free!” mark on my contract, I’m ready to jump ship.
So, what I need is: free LD, at least 600 minutes (with at least 250 daytime). What I’d also like is the same “home” calling area and/or free roaming.
I also need a new phone. I’m currently using a Nokia 5190 (or so) and would like something a lot slimmer/smaller. It’d also be nice if it did a lot of cool stuff. There’s a phone that’ll play MP3s for your ring and bring up a JPG for your caller ID, so I hear…
