Posted March 7, 200916 yr Well now that I'm old, I feel I need to become self sufficient. This means getting a new phone, plan and/or network. Any Ideas? I'm Verizon right now, but they are quite expensive. I like T-Mobile and the BlackBerry Pearl Flip, with everything it would be about $80 monthly. I also like the iPhone and AT&T, that would be $199 so start off, I'm not sure on monthly prices though. I need unliminted texting, and about 500 anytime minutes. Any advice?

But it is $20 more for unlimited texting.
March 7, 200916 yr Author The $30 is mandatory. But it is $20 more for unlimited texting.It doesn't sound worth it, I want it as cheap as possible yet stylish. With my texting also.
March 7, 200916 yr If you go with AT&T and decide on a blackberry their IS NOT a mandatory data plan necessary, they might try to push it on you, but it's not needed.. I have a BB 8320 with Unlimited txt plan for +$20

Any phones that you think I would like anybody?I would prefer to stray away from full touch screens also.
March 7, 200916 yr wow plans are expensive in the states. I got my htc touch pro for free, $5 a month for unlimited text, $15 unlimited internet and $7.50 fo unlimited incoming calls plus 500 anytime. with taxes and all comes to 32 a month

I just prefer buttons.
March 9, 200916 yr You could get a plan with alltel. Cheaper than verizon but it is actually verizon now that they bought them out so you can talk to people with verizon for free and in the fall or around there there will become one and you keep your existing plan price from alltel.
March 17, 200916 yr Author Update: I spoke with the Verizon people and they said that since I have an upgrade on my mothers plan I could use that to get a new phone and then get off of my mothers account and pay for my unlimited texting and 450 anytime minutes with free nights and weekends and Verizon to Verizon calls for $59.99 or $69.99, I can't recall. I have decided against the Blackberry World and am currently crushing on the LG Versa...I think its a winner!
March 17, 200916 yr I use verizon but since you watna cheaper price cricket has 49.99 unlimited plan i think.
