hey dood, im a cell phone master dealer.
basically i provide cell stores with their phones, and means of activating those phones.
if you are currently in virginia, i recommend verizon. only downside is their phones are very expensive (qualcomm invented cdma technology that verizon uses, and gets a huge royalty.) but the service is second to none.
if you on a tighter budget, go for t-mobile. if you remember they were voicestream, until duetchtelecom bought them out. they are the biggest provider in europe, and want to make a big impact in america, so they are investing heavily in towers/repairs/service. as it stands now they are second to verizon. on the bright side, their phones are cheap and user friendly (gsm technology allows you to switch phones on the whim, retaining your phone book and all info on a swappable chip)
the monthly minutes you get are roughly the same. both free nights and weekends.
for verizon do not pay more than 100 bux for a v60 or v70.
for tmobile, all their phones except for their NEWEST colorscreen, picture taking ones, should be free.
any other questions, feel free to ask.

oh and as far as which phone to get?
verizon, stick with motorola. v60 or v70.
tmobile. go with a samsung the q105 is a great phone. there is a newer s105, but thas color screen, and gonna cost you. personally i say not worth it unless you got money to burn (but you own a seven, so we kno thats not a possibility)
btw, i dunno how it is down in virginia, the competition might not be as fierce as here in nyc, so prices might be higher. wut i said before was from wut i kno off-hand, about the prices here in nyc.

i used to like sprint until i upgraded to their new and improved service and new phone. i miss my internet capabilities. like aim anywhere. signal was also better with the older phone even when it had no antenna.
