T-Mobile also uses GSM based phones, as does Cingular, which may be handy if you plan on continuing your globe trotting ways (though you'd probably have to get the phone unlocked--which T-Mobile tends to be pretty good about). <BR/><BR/>That being noted, most people seem to have a preference for Verizon. Since you have family members of Verizon, perhaps it would best to inquire whether there is some sort of plan that gives you free minutes when you talk to family members.<BR/><BR/>One other thing to note is the start time of free nights and weekends calls. Different carriers may have different times, which could affect your decision.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4074861.post-1152104511338024992006-07-05T09:01:00.000-04:002006-07-05T09:01:00.000-04:00My mother-in-law has one of those Razr phones.

No idea how it would work in the subway, since we don't have those around here.Melinda R.

I'm not sure if that's still the case, but I do get reception in my basement apartment, which is rather impressive.fusenumber8https://www.blogger.com/profile/16216979020263363698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4074861.post-1151816379864249512006-07-02T00:59:00.000-04:002006-07-02T00:59:00.000-04:00This non-New Yorker has Verizon for my carrier, to...This non-New Yorker has Verizon for my carrier, too. No complaints on my part either. In fact, when the first rounds of hurricanes came through our area in 2004 (Central Florida), Verizon was the only service working.<BR/><BR/>I do have issues, not a huge problem, with the coverage area where I live, but that doesn't mean there are problems like that everywhere. <BR/><BR/>A friend of mine has the pink razr phone, it's very cool.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4074861.post-1151803685402920822006-07-01T21:28:00.000-04:002006-07-01T21:28:00.000-04:00This New Yorker has a verizon phone and no complai...This New Yorker has a verizon phone and no complaints. Sometimes it even rings in the subway, underground, in the middle of a tunnel...but that tends to happen mostly near 42nd or 34th St. (That pink razr sounds awesome though....)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
