I want a new phone

I don't switch often. Only if something happens or I change subscribers. If you are with StraightTalk, have you looked online at their site? They have refurbished phones rather cheap. I don't know if that would interest you or not. I was going to get one of the nice Nokia was only 49.99 with free shipping over the Mother's Day holiday.

I just got my first new phone in 5 years... actually, that's about my average...

We've had our current phones for about 3 years now. I think we had our previous phones for about 3 years as well. We want new phones but are putting off the purchase until we are in a more solid financial position.

I got a new phone recently. It looks kind of like a Blackberry, though that is not the reason I chose it. At the time I thought it was the best option for the price ($59). I guess the next phone I get will be one that you can do more stuff online with. That won't be for quite some time though.

I suppose that it depends on preference. My own phone is a smart phone, which has internet access, and can be used as a wifi hub- but is on a contract, with almost unlimited minutes/ text, and no limits on data/ downloads. The contract is £30 per month- but then I am not paying for a land line 9£12 rental) or a broadband connection (anything from £20 a month upwards. Hope you like your new purchase.

Studies show that on average, that a person will tend to lose a phone every 2 year which is the reason im guessing for 24month contracts

I've been using cellphones for around 11 years and I'm on my third phone. It doesn't have a camera or anything except calling and text. Since I'm home most of the time, I don't need anything else. When I do get a new phone, it will probably be a freebie from my service provider when I renew the contract. $30 isn't bad, though. I wish I could find a good one at that price. BUT my daughter gets a new one about every year and so does almost everyone else.

I hate my smart phones bill. I liked the old one better because it was $30 less a month and that adds up fast. I do love having all the internet at my fingertips though. I was able to wait a year to buy my new computer and just use my phone to get emails and necessities. I get new phones when my current phone doesnt work anymore. We only use cell phones here so its a necessity.

Ow very nice price for a smartphone. I have mine a year ago the best smartphone I ever bought. I can used it while mylotting I have mails and chat on it

I haven't had a new phone in forever..lol. I have been thinking of getting myself a new one too. They have recently fixed the issues they were having in my area with Straight Talk and their smart phones but I have still been watching..lol. Verizon and T-mobile both have unlimited deals now too.

Phones are one of the most overpriced and over hyped products out there. If you really want the phone that you saw go ahead and get it as $30.00 is really inexpensive for a phone. I have an Iphone and love it- not for the phone but for the apps. I am waiting for the new one to come out in the fall and will purchase it then. I get a new phone every couple of years and pay big bucks. I really do like the iphone but not for the phone, as i said and I do feel I fall under the spell of the hype and I do feel that they are way overpriced. That being said, I will buy one and that is why apple is making such big bucks from people like me. We want our toys, no matter how overpriced they may be.
