What is most important to you?

Re: What is most importantant to you

Real good idea for a thread. I added a poll with your options and voted.

 

Re: What is most importantant to you

I agree with Charlyee. I just voted and chose "Do you want the best service (coverage) and the coolest phone?" The coverage is my first priority and a "cool" phone is second. A "cool" phone for me means that it has the features I want and performs the best (reception, battery life, etc.).

 

Re: What is most importantant to you

Same here Gamer. Price would come into play for me if their was a big difference ($30+ a month).

 

Re: What is most importantant to you

It's all about the service, the coolest phone is not important to me.

 

Re: What is most importantant to you

I want it all
Having a cool phone is pretty important, but if you are on a crappy network it kind of kills it. Kind of like having a Ferrari but only a dirt road to drive it on

 

Re: What is most importantant to you

I agree. I like having a nice phone, but if it does not work where it need it to, its useless.

 

Re: What is most importantant to you

I agree, good idea for a poll -- we can always use new polls.

FYI - Adding a poll is near the bottom of the page under "Additional Options' when starting a new thread.

 

I want the freedom of choosing my own phone (doesn't have to be the coolest) and reasonable service (doesn't have to be best). Therefore I voted other.

 

Coverage is big to me...but I don't need the biggest coverage area or the fastest data. I need my phone to work at home and at the office since I spend probably 90% of my life in those two places.

 

I voted coverage + phone. I am with Verizon for the coverage and in the last year or so, I have started to like those fancy smartphones, looking forward to a "4G" phone for Christmas

Price is not much of an issue (for now), else I'd be with Straight Talk. I just hate they don't have the hot phones like the contract carriers.

I love T-Mobile ($$$$) , but coverage sucks in my apartment (and at work); I refuse to use Sprint for the same reason.

 

I chose cheapest plan. The reason is...

I have T-Mobile with unlimited talk (to U.S.-based numbers), text (to U.S.-based mobiles) and unlimited data (3G); with free domestic and international roaming. I pay $35.00/month.

 

I was wondering why anyone would say other and who that would be. I should have known it would be you.

I chose coverage, although that is not the only thing important to me but it is at the top of my list of requirements.

 

I guess I'd have to say "Other" as well. Apparently the ease of changing devices with GSM service is more important to me than coverage really is - although coverage would be my next most important criteria.

lol. I know I'd probably be happier with Verizon's coverage/data service than I have been with at&t's for quite some time; but I have still been reluctant to change as I do tend to switch between devices fairly frequently. Freedom of device choice/lack of carrier crippling is important to me too, although I've been happy enough with my at&t branded devices - but probably only because at the same time I've always had a non-branded Nokia as my work horse phone.

 

I voted other because I want a solid phone but don't need the coolest but I am looking for a fair deal (not necessarily the cheapest) and good coverage.

I got a great deal on the Evo 4G since the 3D was coming out and also a super deal on extra minutes, unlimited data and discounted service because of my credit union membership.

The coverage I have is super but the other company is considered superior--problem is my past customer service experience with them is awful and so I prefer not to do business with them--ultimately, I got most everything I wanted. Except, I would have preferred no contract!

 

The trailblazer that I am?

 

I really want best service (coverage) possible because that's all that matters to me. I haven't changed my phone since 2007. But I think my phone is about to retire now so I'll probably buy new one this year.

 

LOL, I want it all--cheapest prices, best service, coolest phone. Hence the reason I paying nearly $200/month for two android phones on a 2gig data plan. Good thing: I amazingly DO have HSPA here in the hicks of the Central Valley. I know that because I've traveled to other locations (like recently I was in Yosemite doing some photography and the phone correctly showed that it only had Edge service.) (Dang! I tried to upload a pic from my camera to my Facebook page----it took a long, long time ... think "Rip Van Winkle" sorta speeds. LOL)

So yeah, I have cheap service (for 21st century) and great phone (whose battery holds a charge for 3 hours). :googlyeye

 

For me it comes down to value, so I don't really fit into any of the categories. I came to the conclusion that I could do without Verizon's coverage to get Sprint's better prices. However, I wouldn't go with some ot the prepaid options because I do want decent support and coverage in the places I go most often.
