I lost my new Virgin Mobile Arc at the beach, so I want to get a new one. Hopefully I can get another one with my b-day money. Wish me luck~



new phone!! 4 weeks ago

I’m also changing providers. My current phone is kind of old and super slow and it takes forever to text or call anyone. Also, it’s staring to do this thing where I get voicemails three days late and the phone never rings but it will notify me of the missed call afterward. I get very poor reception in my house which is bad because I don’t have a land line. So, it’s time for a new phone!! I’m ordering it on Friday so I’ll be home when it arrives on Saturday!! Whoo!!

Charger 1 month ago

...My charger broke and I realized that my phone is not giving me the capability for certain things. I went to the store this week and had a look at what’s out there. I feel like choosing a cell phone is like choosing your personality. Who do you want to be, this month?

I want an iphone. 2 months ago

my dad willingly bought me a Mint chocolate almost immediately over a year ago. i texted too much, used up too many minutes, and ran up the bill to 235 the first month. i promised to not make the same mistake if they allowed me to keep my phone. the next month i ran up the bill to 535 dollars. it was the final straw so i got it taken away for a whole month. i used my skills in convincing my parents to let me prove my responsiblity and so i monitered my txts for months andmonths. the problem was that i was calling long distance to random men and my parents eventually found out and took it away this january. a month ago, my parents cut my phone number, so now im left with a piece of green useless plastic.

they said the only way i can get a new phone is if i pay for the plan and cell phone with my own money (considering if i do make any moolah). so now im left trying to hunt for jobs in the city or at my school to pay for one.

I’m thinking about going with Cricket…

Plans have changed, and now I’m staying on a family plan with my mom and younger siblings, while my two older brothers get their own plan. Apparently only two lines come with a family plan, and adding a third with the company my brothers want is kind of expensive.

I still haven’t fully researched which plan will get the most bang for our buck, but I’ve narrowed the list to 3 and chosen a phone I’m interested in for each:

1. Verizon: Samsung OMNIA $99
2. Sprint: Samsung Instinct $130
3. TMobile: G1 $179 or Samsung Memoir $250

I really like the “candy bar” design Samsung phones have, but the prices are just… a lot. I would much rather wait for the G2, but I kind of need a new phone immediately. I’m willing to dish out up to $100 since I’ll probably keep the phone for years, but it’s still so much money. I’m not sure what I’ll do yet.

I have had my cell phone a little over 3 years, and for the past year I’ve been talking about getting a new one. Right now I’m on a Tmobile family plan with four other family members, but this month I’m going to split up and get my own plan with my two brothers.

I’m not sure what carrier to use or which phone to get yet. I’m paying for on a budget that gives 110% of my income to my college tuition, so no iPhone for me!



Finally! 3 months ago

It took me forever, but I finally got a new cell phone LG Vu. So far, I love it. :)



Out of Stock 4 months ago

I finally decided I wanted the LG Vu, and they are out of stock at AT&T. :(



LG Vu maybe 4 months ago

I wanted the LG lotus, but AT&T doesn’t carry it. So now, I’m thinking about the LG Vu. It’s a touch screen and is not too expensive.
