Mm, Bowie. Gack, I haven't listened to God Bowie in so long. I must rectify that.

Anyway.

There's some things changing around these parts. Those that are frequenters of my LJ, not just reading mine through their style, will notice that I changed my layout back to my shark week layout that I had for about, all last year. I love hot pink. While I'm not ( Read more... )

Well, *twiddling thumbs*, I have T-Mobile pre-paid which basically means any new phone I get I would have to pay out of pocket for. So I went ahead and bit the bullet. I had an unlocked phone imported and just switched my SIM card. I love this thing. It's an LG touch screen and tiny. Not so good for touch screen but cute. It is only out in Europe and Asia at the moment.

Unlocked phones are definitely fun and envy worthy.

Ha! I just got back from buying a new one! I decided on the LG UX260...the Rumor. It's a texting-heavy phone and after discussing with a friend, I realized that this is the sort of thing I should go for, as 80% of the time, that's all I do on my phone. It's got the little slidey-out keyboard. I was gonna do the LG Glimmer, but 1) I couldn't bring myself to pay $400 right now and 2) I wasn't sure how I felt about the touch screen. And it's nice (I played with it at the store) but I'm happy with this one. Only, it's been FOREVER since I've had an LG, so I have to learn all new software all over again!

Mine is the KS20. It has its foibles and issues but it's cute and it works. I just have to get used to it. Since I'm not a heavy texter 'cause well, that shit is difficult using a telephone keypad and is cumbersome at best, that part of the phone doesn't bother me. I just wish there was a master setting where I could set everything to vibrate. Grrr.

Do you still have the same number?

And I forgot to say, US Cellular won't allow unlocked phones on their system. Which is kinda crappy, but I've had a couple friends try in the past and they will not activate non-USCC phones. It's bs because they tend to be a step behind everyone else. I think if we used SIM cards, it'd be a non-issue, but USCC is CDMA.

Yep, same number. I just switched the SIM card out so I can use a new phone. Yeah, I don't think I'd ever go to a non-GSM provider ever. They rope you in and you'll never get out of using their phones only. T-Mobile aka Deutsche Telekom baby!

Unfortunately, my only option out here for non-CDMA is AT&T. And I used to have them, from when they were Cell One straight into Cingular and the beginning of AT&T, but there was a noticeable difference not just in customer service but EVERYTHING -- prices, of plans and phones, customer service, phone and connection quality -- almost as soon as they merged. So when my contract came up, I went back to US Cellular. I don't like they're not GSM, but I pay literally half what I would at Verizon or AT&T. 1000 minutes/month versus 450 for the same prices, free incoming everything etc -- another reason I don't want to re-up my contract without going through the prices and features with a fine-toothed comb.

Edit: because I can.
