Vzw Vs Cingular solution for a phone junkie

So here's what I did

Loving the VZW service but really really getting frustrated with the lack of phones and crippled phones that they offer I signed up for Cingular

I dropped my VZW 4000 min plan (149.99) to the lowest available 450 min for 39.99 .. I took the 2000 min plan for Cingular @ 99.99 and added the extended night times

I usually used in the area of 3000 min .. sometimes way less but never more than 3300 .. not having a house phone it just depended on how much I had to call .. Having the ability to make unlimited calls after 7pm opened alot for me personally because working nights alot of my mins happened between 7 to 9

Joe N,

Just curious. Do you feel a "headache" when you use the VZW phone? I noticed that when I'm using a phone from VZW, my head hurts (not severely, but enough of a discomfort) vs. a phone from Cingular.

ive ALWAYS used a head set .. even before bluetooth and one of the reasons is because of how hot the phones got .. I always thought it was because the backlight was on thereby heating the glass

I know the phones tended to get hot when in use and pluged in with the backlight on

I havent had enough expenence with Cingular to say its any difference but ill let you know

Thanks.

I'm a fellow phone junkie too.....I'm just learie about radiation and stuff, which is why I switched from VZW to Cingular and ever since I switched, I've notice a difference in the discomfort of headaches.

I surf the web on my phone (Cingular and when I had VZW) and my Cingular phone does not get hot after 30 minutes of surfing and the VZW did get hot after the same amount of surfing. Call me crazy...paranoid.... 🙂

Thanks,
