i use more than 4 gb in a month because i watch tv a lot away from home
i have unlimited talk + text but limited data but i'm on verizon so i always have service which is what i need most
i get service in the places i travel to and i don't really need coverage in west virginia since i won't travel there ever
the coverage is pretty consistent along the i-95 corridor now so i'm set
even in the boonie towns we used to live in

yeah the cross country coverage is still p. bad. i think they improved roaming though in the past year. and in serious emergencies, you should be able to dial 911 where there's
any signal from any carrier. also prepaid phones are really cheap nowadays at the gas station if you really have to talk to family.
the wifi calling really helps with the coverage deadzones too additionally. but then i don't drive outside of the east coast so i've never experienced this.

i signed up during t-mobile's coverage guarantee so i can leave at any time and just keep making the monthly device payments. prolly won't though 5thgrade;
i loved having a smartphone but it wasn't really necessary
i'm gonna try going phoneless for a while. i need to buy an mp3 player to keep up with podcasts though, which is what my phone's primary use had become

good ass phone even has mp3!
i knew what that phone would be just from the url
an azn friend of mine had that in highschool and i thought it was so darn cool
i also had it in high school
i was literally too cool for school
did yours have all the cool different menu themes like the one where you could have the cool thing orbiting around everything you selected
if that makes any sense to you
it made all the sense because i had that shit
damn in the pre smart phone era that was a pretty slick feature
get a juke, my recommendation based off of boognihs
it's e911 enabled so it's icky
if i have to put up with e911, i might as well get an iphoon
