My phone got shut off for about two weeks because of a lost money order, and when it finally got turned back on I requested an area code change. Sprint gave me the bullshit runaround that I'd have to re-up with them for two more years to get an area code change. Fuck that. I've been using one of those ghetto pay-as-you-go phones for the past month. Now that my contract with Sprint is finally up, it's time to switch carriers. The carrier isn't really an issue - I know Verizon, AT&T, and Cingular work just fine around here.

What I'm looking for is a basic phone with a cheap plan. I don't need a camera on my phone, I don't even know what the hell Bluetooth is, I don't need to connect to Youtube, and I don't care about ringtones. All I want is a cheap phone that works and maybe has solitaire or tetris. I guess text messaging as well, even though I'm completely against texting, since there are certain nitwit girls I know who are incapable of actually talking on their phone.

Basically looking for limited daytime minutes (500 or so), since I usually only use my phone for work purposes during the day, with unlimited nights or weekends, and maybe 150 texts a month. I don't want to pay over $75 a month. Anyone know of a phone/plan that fits this criteria?

My plan with Cingular (AT&T, whatever... tongue.gif) is pretty decent. I've got 450 daytime minutes, 5000 (practically unlimited) nights & weekends, and free mobile-to-mobile. That runs me about $45/mo, after taxes and fees. Adding on a 200-msg text messaging plan would be an extra $5/month. My particular phone sucks, so I won't recommend it.

Yeah, sweet, that's exactly what I want. No way in hell I'm gonna use 5000 minutes.

Why do you not like your phone? All I care about is decent service, I don't care if it's pink or ugly.

Do you know what their website is?
