Can I buy one of the phones through this website with a new plan, and have my existing number (my contract is up, i'm just paying month to month) ported to the new phone? If so, this is awesome.
I would say.
Port number over to T-mobile or Cingular.
You have like 30 days to decide to keep the service and what not.
Cancel.
Port back over to Verizon ?
not too sure how feasible taht would be but it may be an idea.

T-Mobile and Cingular use GSM networks, while Verizon uses CDMA. The phones are not compatible between networks.
It completely depends on where you specifically live. Generally speaking, Cingular and Verizon have broader rural coverage than Nextel and Sprint, but it varies by city. In the end, the same carrier that has a reputation for the best network in your city might have a dead spot right in your driveway. The best thing is to ask your friends or borrow their phones.

how is cingular as far as service. i hate losing calls.
I don't understand this question. If your Sprint contract expired in August, you should be able to switch to another carrier with no penalty, transfer your phone number, and get a new free phone (see the original post).if i cancel my current service can i renew it with one of these? cuz if that were the case id probably jsut stay sprint.
Verizon has disabled a lot of the bluetooth functions in the V710. Lots of good reading here: www.v710.orgOriginally posted by: superflysocal
does anyone know if the v710 verizon can use the bluetooth as a modem if the laptop has bluetooth also? what about for pc sync?

Umm..no. Cingular bought AT&T Wireless but they are still 2 seperate companies. I still have an AT&T phone and rate plan. The reps on the phone I talk to still work for AT&T WS.

$50 cash back is pretty standard for this phone right now (Letstalk, A1, Wirefly, Amazon, Intelenet, Cellularchoices, etc.). But as the original post states, this link has the best prices without any rebates required. In the case of the 6230 and the other Cingular deals, the benefit is not huge (as isekii pointed out, the Mpx220 and the 7610 were huge deals until they raised the price on those). Some of the T-Mobile and Sprint deals are more than $100 below anything else out there.Originally posted by: littlebitstrouds
Have none of you guys checked out www.letstalk.com? I'm making $50.00 on my nokia 6230 phone.
Example: The Motorola A630 with T-Mobile is $69.99 shipped.
Same phone is $299.99 from T-Mobile, $199.99 -$100 rebate from Wirefly normally, or $275+ on eBay without a service plan.
I wouldn't do it. What if your phone number gets frozen for like 30 days after a change (meaning you can't make another change within 30 days of the last change)? I do not know for sure if that's the case though.Originally posted by: isekii

not really, I got mine for $150 with no rebates back in december with only a 1 year contract. Buy.com has/had a good price of $0 AR though

Oh...I suppose you're right, but either way it's not really of much use to me since I'm already in a contract with AT&T (part of a family plan, actually). The $159 just looked attractive to me since it's with no rebates, whereas otherwise I'd usually be paying $300 up front and then waiting six months to hopefully receive rebates, or so is my understanding.
I don't suppose you (or anyone else here) happens to know if I'd be able to upgrade my phone at some point through them ("Cingular")? Would I have to wait until a year is up? I've had the plan since last June... (Although I'd rather get a new phone sooner rather than later )

To keep your # and get a new phone you have to "migrate" to cingular...it basically sucks.

eh, I can get much better deal on the phones with contract at local stores..
not the Retail Stores that are operated by the Carriers, but independent places.
most of the new phones are FREE
about six months back I changed from cingular(not enough minutes) to ATT(incredible plan but horrid billing problems and constant dropouts) and then after 30 day canceled and went to Nextel (great signal, expensive plans) all the while porting my number back and forth.Originally posted by: cyberia

Also, doesn't your credit history get hit twice (once every time you apply for a new plan)?
