I have had my account with AT&T wireless for 5 years and have had the same phone the whole time. I went into AT&T store today and was looking at the T720 motorola the cacs at AT&T wanted me to pay full price for it. WTF new subscribers get this same phone for alot cheaper then I can get it. My current cell is about dead the screen is very dim. Should I just jump ship to another provider. Or should I just buy a T39 ericsson on eBay unlocked so I can keep my cell number. How come new customers get the deep deal?

5 years and they want you to pay full price? That's bs.

 

Typo its the T721 new customers get the phone for free, according to their website. after the rebates.

 

^yea ATT is upcharging all existing customers $150 ontop of whatever the price of the phone is. thats what we're doing at best buy. i guess att is not making any money cuz their GSM network sucks really bad.
i would keep ur number and switch to cingular or t mobile. i would go with t mobile cuz of the 24hrs customer service. so anytime u call they can help u


T721 sucks
i had the T720. not a good phone.
if you don't mind the size, i would get nokia 3650. its cheaper and has bestest reception:thumbup:

 

I have looked into T mobile the coverage area is a bit lacking right now for Northern California Redding area. Heard anything about the ericsson T39 good bad. TIA

 

is that a old phone? check out www.howardchui.com
he has review of some of the more popular phones
i'm guessing ur on TDMA right now rite? don't switch to ATT GSM. its horrible

 

better than e715 reception?? i'll take your word for ith:

 

I have a T720 with alltel and i love it. Best phone i've ever had

 

Cingular had pretty good coverage from what I saw (no complaints on reception while I was up there). I guess it's just a matter of what phone you want to get. If you just want to get a phone (without the extra stuff like a camera, MP3 player, etc.) I would suggest either the Nokia 3595 or the Siemens S56. If you want a flip, you could try the LG 4050.

 

verizon :thumbup: it's great here, not sure about in cali
