Best cellphone/plan for me?

Question

Hey, I`m going to be13 in a few weeks, and my parents and I are considering getting a cellphone for me. My schedule is going to be pretty busy with different afterschool activities and stuff. I don't talk much, but I love to text message [ I textmsged on my dad`s phone, its pretty fun hehe.] I`d also like a cameraphone, screensavers and ringtones [or do they all have screensavers and ringtones? XD I don`t know.. -stupid-.] I don`t need mp3 player on it. So.. Something that looks cute. Again, I don`t talk much .. Maybe 1-2 hours a week? Also my father says to NOT get a prepaid phone. Thanks everyone ! :)

Answer 1

i was gonna say it would be a good idea to get a prepaid phone, like virgin mobile because you can pay as you go and they also have penny texting for those who text a lot.

Answer 2

your father says not to get a prepaid phone? why? i think that would be the best solution for people your age especially if you don't use the phone a lot. if he adds you to his account -- the rate that he pays remains the same PLUS whatever or how much text messaging you sent AND received. one option would be to create a family plan and your dad can add you to it. i strongly advise that you sign up for text messaging if you're going to be using it that much. otherwise, the other option would be prepaid.

with t-mobile Prepaid however, if you have a sidekick 2 or 3 (can be new or used) you can call customer service and tell them you want to sign up for the promotion where they deduct $1.00 a day from you BUT your text messages and internet use is FREE. it's a cameaphone too. the screensavers and ringtones are optional -- you can access "tzones" and select anything from there. they will deduct from your current balance (from the phone).

Answer 3

T-mobile and Nokia 6101 or the sidekick or maybe the Razr

Answer 4

Try Cingular.

Answer 5

U.S Cellular! They are top of the line. YOu will get very good reception, and they have towers all over.
