I'm thinking about switching cell phone carriers: Any suggestions / warnings?
I've been with Verizon for quite a while now. The advantage is that they have great signal strength.
But other than that it seems that if I bat an eyelash, there's a fee for that.
And I don't really dig how no matter what kind of change to your plan you want to do, they lock you into another 2 year contract.
I've heard some good things about Metro PCS. Is anyone using them? They seem really affordable and I don't believe they make you sign a contract. Not sure about their signal strength, though.
I just cancelled my broadband card with Verizon because I'm not using it that much anymore because there seems to be free WiFi just about everywhere. But that cancellation cost me $120.00!!!
I have a Blackberry, but I'm even open to switching phones. I know the iPhone seems great, and the reason why I haven't gone there is because I've been hearing it's coming to Verizon (for the last 800 years now!), and I've been told by some that AT&T's signal strength is not that great. Is that true?
But email is critical for me, and since the Blackberry email system is very reliable that's one of the reasons why I chose it.
And of course, I have to keep my cell phone number, which I believe these days is not a problem from one carrier to the next, correct?
Any suggestions / warnings would be appreciated!
