Because hauling around a laptop with an air card just isn't as nice as sticking my blackberry in my pocket...

ROFL, you can have full normal conversations by using a phone and speaking.

I won't get it... I call, if they are there they answer and we talk, if not I leave a message.

BTW - texting in class rooms, driving, work, etc... is unsafe and counter productive. If a person is in a situation where they shouldn't be talking on the phone, then they certainly shouldn't be texting either.

I had Sprint forever, but then the coverage went to hell. Toptwo made us switch to ATT, and it was great. We live in Wyoming now and we only have one tower in the whole state, so it sucks.

my recommendation is to check coverage areas on the different networks for where you like to go and choose from there. But, if you ask for it, ATT will usually give you a nice new phone (not the cheapy ones) for free.

it does suck, bad too. Have you asked your neighbors and such? You can get unlimited text with Att for like $20 i think, with any plan. and they have rollover minutes, so if you decide not to talk on the phone for  a month, you can have a nice cushion. Also, they will let you change your plan any time without a fee or restarting your contract

As far as service if you dont live in a major metro area where you get everything, I think your best bet is to choose the one that has coverage in the places u go... I know when i was just up in the UP(michigan) service was so sporadic that my phone would work and my friends wouldnt and it kept swapping depending where we were of even who was inside vs outside.

I only use textings to contact my family abroad .. to ask if good time to call .. ie calling a UK cellphone is expensive but a landline is pennies and skype is free..... so i text and say when  you going to be home.. same with my sis in australia, and family in canada, ireland,spain etc...

Texting to all those places is the same price and equally cheap for them to respond...

But i just noticed MetroPCS for $5 offeres unlimited calling to 100 countries... so might be time to switch... currently i pay skype $10 a month for unlimited calling .. i just dail a local number and it patches me through. (but non of those plans ever include UK cellphones)

What on average does everyone pay for cellphone service a month.

I agree for the price you cant beat metro pcs and cricket looks affordable as well although ive actually had metro pcs and was very happy having no contract to sign and the first month free to offset the cost of the new phone which you must buy their phone when you switch.
