i'm pretty sure you can. i believe Sprint was the first one to start the whole keeping ur number thing. so Verizon should be doing it also

-for how long can i test it out in order to avoid the early termination fee?
-can i get a FULL refund?
-if i cant get a FULL refund, what and how much will i be charged?

:fawk: take that.
don't get TDMA
my friend's TDMA phone crashed on her and she lost all phone number except mine. which was weird...
well anyways u should get GSM so u can store your numbers in the SIM card. so you don't loose everything if the phone dies.
i believe ATT is having a 30 day trail for the 6800. i'm sure they have it for their other phones also.
you can get the phone for free. u just have to pay for the service u used during the test period.

no. its for the safety of stupid american ppl. plus good for the phone companies to figure out where they need more coverage.
kinda like MB cars with that SOS button to save ur ass.
there's also softwares out there u can download so you can use ur phone as a GPS navi.
i think Nextel has it already...either that or boost mobile. but i don't think their phones have built in GPS...so i guess its something else in their network they can use to track u.

Do your friends with different cell phone service get reception at your place? Maybe you need to switch providers? Nokia is usually one of the better phones in terms of reception. I'm kinda hating cingular right now and want to switch to T-mobile, but I don't know if they're any better than cingular. h:

i'll be working in sac.
US doesn't get the coolest phones cuz of the low upgrade rate of ppl here... in Japan, the phones are very cheap or free. But their service is more expensive. i think they start around more than $60 a month. usually around $100 a month for their phone bill
