New cell phone time

[fergy016]

I really don't want a smart phone, I just need something comparable to what I have now, I like the fact that it only needs charging once a week and it works well, as a phone.

What is out there and which service providers?

Thanks,

If you stay with At&t your monthly payment plan should stay the same/text message plan. You will just be upgrading to a new phone which if you get one of the free ones can cost you nothing.

Things you want:
Phone you can talk on
Bluetooth capable?
Do you text message?
-need a qwerty keyboard?
-do you mind a digital keyboard

Do you want a data plan?
-surf the internet on your phone
-gps etc.

What service provider are you going to go with?

These all need to be answered before telling you what phone is good/bad

I will never own a blackberry again. I have one, and the software/support of RIM(maker of Blackberry) has really let me down. I have researched the newer phones, Torch for example, and the software is buggy still on the newer models.

guys if they are making him get a new phone then he must also get a new plan as he has an old at&t wireless blue plan that is no longer compatible with anything.

OP did at&t contact you directly? Or were you told this on a visit to an at&t store? If a store was it corporate or reseller?

What color is your SIM?

Is it a AT&T WIRELESS SIM?


Did they refer to your plan as a blue plan?

Thanks VirtualSVT, I was hoping you would come in.

Yes, The SIM is a AT&T wireless
No mention of plan color?

I have received stuff in the mail, text messages and a voice mail on the home phone about it.

The phone is a Nokia 6820, tri-band and it looks like operates in the same frequency ranges Cingular/AT&T are using now, I was wondering if it could be unlocked to use the SIM card out of whatever new POS they give me?

Thanks,

Ok so you need to convert over to a at&t orange plan. You can do it over the phone with customer care or you can do it in a corporate retail store. You can unlock your current Nokia to use and you'll be ok.

It tells you how to get your IMEI number. Word of warning. If you enter the wrong information you will turn your phone into a paperweight.
