I've been on Nextel, Sprint, Verizon and Cingular and after having been on all I'll give you my humble opinion. Verizon is the worst and Cingular is the best. Verizon if you damage or loose your phone they want you to buy a new one from them at huge prices, Cingular you can buy off ebay, get one from a friend, at a yard sale or whatever and just put in your sims card. Plus, 2 different times on Cingular and I've been with them for 5 years now my son got download and internet happy and run our bill up to 1300.00 last month and they gave me 2 courtesy credit so far taking off the 1169.00 he ran up on my bill and didn't make me pay it. They have been great. The other time my bill was 400.00 and they took off 125.00 credit.

I have Cingular. It's the best for me because my family uses Cingular (no minute hits for the calls). DH had Nextel for his work phone but they're changing to Cingular too. They only used Nextel because of the 2-way capabilities.

I looked at Sprint, and decided against. If you look at their coverage map, it seems to really only be thick along major interstates, and who spends most of their time there... not worth it, even though I would get a huge discount through my company's partner/discount program.

Tmobile, in my opinion, survives because of its technology and appeal to younger crowds, not on its functional offerings.

We have 4 phones on our plan, too. I chose Cingular because of the rollover minutes. I keep track online of minutes used (mostly just toward the end of the billing cycle) and turn into the prime time gestapo if it looks like they might go over by very much.

Now....if you are talking new phones, I don't recommend the Razor. I have had mine replaced 3 times - that's a total of 4 pink Razors and I still have trouble with it sometimes. It locks up and you have to take the battery out and put it back in.

As far as problems with your kids surfing the 'net on their phone and downloading games, graphics, etc they can block all that stuff. Just call Cingular (or whoever) and give them the numbers you don't want to have internet access, download capability, text messaging, etc. You can even block call waiting, which I did on Cheyenne's phone because she would not click back over and ended up using 2 hours of minutes while a call was on hold.

I have been with Cingular, Verizon (twice), and Sprint. I currently have Verizon. Verizon has been great. I have only had one problem so far and they cleared it up immediately. I have the cheapest plan and add 250 text/picture messages for $5 a month. The customer service has been excellent. I get free Verizon to Verizon which is helpful b/c a lot of people I know have Verizon.

Cingular was cool...No complaints.

I hated Sprint. I broke my contract to get away from them. I had so many problems and nothing was resolved until I turned them into the BBB.

We have Verizon and have replaced our phones with phones bought on Ebay with no problem. I like Verizon, my whole family is on it, and we have free in-network calling. Free nights, weekends. We've been happy with them for just over 3 years. ~Mandy

I have Cingular and have been happy with them. I switched over to t-mobile, found their coverage and customer service to be severly lacking, so I broke my contract, when back to Cingular and have never looked back.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
