Cell phone suggestions
Tuesday | May 24, 2005 | 4:41 pm
Here’s a question for anyone out there… any suggestions on cellphone providers and/or phones themselves?
Erica and I have been considering making a switch from Sprint for a while, mostly because our phone numbers are still Columbia, Mo. area codes.
Our current top contended is Cingular, and the Razr. I normally wouldn’t consider spending that much on a shoephone, but I like its looks, and the features seem pretty nice, and Amazon has a swanky special on them.
On the service side, we’re just looking to not get ripped when it comes to prices/minutes. On the phone side, we’re both looking for Bluetooth.
I also guess I should enter the “text-message/cameraphone” world that everyone by Erica and I are a part of…
Any thoughts?

You probably know this, but companies do charge a fee each time you send a photo, unless you pay extra in your monthly. I don’t use the camera all that much - but you might. Quality is pretty marginal.
And ask for the ajc discount for employees. I think it is 15% with most providers. And they may offer other line-item discounts - maybe on the phone? Just be sure to ask.
