Last May I opened an account with US Cellular, a wireless carrier known for impeccable customer service. Their contract plans include free incoming calls, texts, pics, and more. For most people, that's nearly half their total usage. Sounds too good to be true? It isn't.
I probably use less than 400 minutes a month so I went on their cheapest plan ($40). I also don't travel much so I opted for local area coverage for my region which gives me 700 minutes compared to national 450 plan. The other month I used less than a hundred of my minutes because all incoming calls were free. Amazing, even though I don't talk much on the phone anyway.
Originally I bought the LG Banter UX-265 (i.e. Rumor 2). It's great and the lovely spacious keyboard made it easy to type just about anything. This phone was great, but has since been taken off the US Cellular roster due to customer complaints. Apparently the phone reboots or shuts down on its own randomly. The phone can be sent back to LG to be repaired for free. I experienced this issue at most five or six times over two or three months, but didn't think much of it. It was annoying when it happened, but it worked flawless for over a month and I forgot all about it until I upgraded to the basic mobile Internet plan and browser. In that same weekend, I experienced the crash bug two or three times, but has since worked fine.
I recently deactivated the phone and bought a Blackberry Curve 8330 over eBay after an exhausting search to ensure the phone was clear and ready for use, plus inexpensive. I'm quite happy and am learning how much can be done on the phone...and with high speed web, I'm really happy. Now I can view YouTube videos at home or on the go.I'm selling the LG Banter to a friend at work for cheap ($50 for everything except wall charger and MicroSD card, but with a car charger and data cable). I could probably sell it on eBay for $100, but at least if the phone breaks the person didn't pay much for it. If it works as well for her as it did for me she'll have gotten it at a great deal.
I'll update again in the future with some great features and advice for other new Blackberry users. What would you like to hear about next update?
