Anyone else have this carrier ?? I'd like to hear how it works for them _____ From: plug-discuss-bounces@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us [mailto:plug-discuss-bounces@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us] On Behalf Of M Hoy Sent: Saturday, September 18, 2010 9:05 AM To: Main PLUG discussion list Subject: [OT] android phone, possible to get a good deal? Sorry for the off topic post but you guys/gals have opinions that actually matter to me as opposed to any other source I know of. I have decided I want to get a android phone and I've noticed that no matter how hard I try I can't get straight answers from phone reps/store reps for carriers. What I want: A smart phone running droid2.2 and a hardware keyboard on a month to month service plan. I'm more than happy to pay full price for a phone but it is inconceivable to me that I should obligate myself to a provider. Seems like the contract only serves them. So I will pay the money for the right phone but I'm having trouble finding a good carrier. I talked with a store rep at verizon (spectrum mall) and he says he can activate it and it will cost me around 108 a month for a month to month plan 900 minutes 10c per text. Is that the best deal I can hope to find? I cannot handle talking with these salesman anymore. They are worse than car salesman. Any help appreciated. If I can't find a good deal I'm going prepaid or something. -- Mike Hoy
