Ok, i just got my cell phone bill today i and was just fucking irate when i opened it. I'm on like a $35.99/ mo. plan and every friggin month it's $50. I was on TDMA for years and then in July i resigned contract(Mistake #1), when i switched over to GSM(mistake #2). They were supposed to put text messaging because that is what i had on my old plan but they didn't so i was paying .10 minute for each txt message. They were supposed to credit me for it and still didn't yet and it's been about 3 weeks since I noticed i wasn't on a txt plan. Now the bill is still $50 again. I cancelled my landline phone at home so i'm stuck with the cellphone. By the way, it's CellularOne We're kinda stuck over here in bum fuck egypt wisconsin and only have 2 choices of carrier.

DON'T ever let them talk you into GSM technology. It's crap! It disconnects alot. I want my old TDMA back but they won't do it. Our choices are Nokia and Motorola too. Motorola sucks shit! My old Nokia phone was better and held a charge alot longer. I hardly use my Motorola and it dies in 1 to 2 days even if not used.

I looked at what i signed and it did say that i was supposed to have txt messaging when i resigned again. I wonder if i can bitch my way out of the contract on behalf of their fuck up.

Just pissed and wondering what you are all paying for your cell bills.

Dont feel bad. I have AT&T and my bill is usually over $100 and I am on a $49.99 plan. I guess I talk too much. I use the damned thing for work and get no re-imbursement for it. I can't raise my plan because I will have to sign another contract. I just have to wait until this one ends before I can get something cheaper with more minutes.

Holy Shit! that's just too much, well in my opinion anyway. I'm on a 600 anytime minute plan. After 9pm and anytime on weekends, i can call anywhere in the U.S. for free. Kinda useless for me because i don't call anyplace outside Wisc. If i order parts, i order from my phone at work. I was texting this broad back and forth quite a bit but i was under the assumption i was under a txt plan. You guys probably get good coverage in the cities without drops with T-mobile, sprint, verizon, etc.. Cellone over here is lining their pockets and not putting up new towers to prevent the problems that pissed me off.

Just feel like bitching today.

I have a 35 dollar sprint plan, with like 15 dollars for internet and 500 texts? or something and end up usually paying about 70-80 for it. I like sprint alot, good phones, sometimes the service sucks, but oh well.

I have a $35 + $5 plan with Sprint, and it comes out to be almost exactly $50 every month unless I use other services.

jdr_fatbob.... yeah isn't that the truth about GSM. They advertise the shit out of it and how great it is. They say that 1 bar of reception is equal to full reception on TDMA phones. That is a joke! Do not fall for it. I got it because i wanted to try internet. They had a free 2 month thing for internet. Another joke. Half the time you couldn't get onto the net "Network unavailable". The other half, you would get in so deep and you'd get "Service type not available" or something like that. So basically i resigned for a kick in the ass back. I'll never resign for more than a year. You get your new phone cheaper the more years you go but it's a kick in the ass in return.

Well after seeing what you pay, i shouldn't feel too bad. I still want to see less than $40 bills. Man i hate bills. Reminds me of that movie Office Space, where he said he was just gonna stop paying his bills.

hahahahaha office space such a good movie. yea man idk i just started going off on AT&T and how crappy this GSM stuff is last night. i found out that am already 150 minutes over what im supposed to be? mmm not so good. but they have been real jerky with me sometimes scammed me once then i looked over my bill and AH HA slapped it right back at them. so i looked over my previous bill to see who i have been calling, half the numbers i dont recognize but then again i dont know all of my phone numbers i use.
