Ok so I need to get this phone online, because they don’t sell it in stores.
It’s a fairly nice music phone, and NOW comes with a free 2 gig micro SD card and USB cord.
The phone has bluetooth, 3.5mm audio female (headphones) MMS (picture messaging) music player, dedicated music keys on front while closed, 1.3mp camera, voice recorder.
It’s $60, and comes with 2 months activation. 300 minutes/600 text messages – roaming, long distance – same price.
That’s $15 a month. I barely use my phone as it is. I would go with verizon pre-paid @ $10 a month but they don’t let you keep your number…OR use smartphones…and I have 3 of them I could use but can’t…
My question is: How can I buy this phone online?
I have bought a $25 visa gift card and it did not work for ANYTHING online. I tried buying a stylus for my treo for $5 and it didn’t work.
Also, post how little you pay. In this post, the more you pay, the more you lose! It’s all about saving money.
QUIT BEING A FAÂGGOT
I don’t have to pay anything because I don’t own any phones at all and I never will.
Instant win, yes?
Ok, dieAntagonista, hypothetically let’s say you don’t live at home and you have a job (I’m unaware if you do or not) – which needs to be able to contact you to either call you in to work if they are short people, or inform you that you have been cut due to business being slow.
They don’t email or use any other web-based contact methods.
What will you do then?
What if you want to call a store to find out if they have a product before making a trip there?
I don’t live at home and I have two jobs. I’m a waitress and my work times have been the same for almost 4 years and as a bookkeeper all I need is my laptop to work. The cafe I work at is not far away, so if they don’t need me I just ride my bike back home.
Once I decide to buy something I go to the store and check, if they don’t have it I just ride my bike back home.
If the world is ending I just ride my bike back home.
No seriously, the reason why I can survive without a phone is because of my location. For longer distances I can take the train to any place in my country or all of Europe if I please. It’s cheap and I don’t mind going places without knowing if they have what I want.
The idea of owning a phone is extremely unpleasant to me, it’s like you’re never alone. And people get angry if you ignore their calls. When you don’t own a phone they just get frustrated because you don’t own a phone but they can’t blame you for anything. See I figured it all out.
So am I the winner or fucking what.
Partially yes and partially no.
Right now I don’t have a phone and it feels great.
When kids want beer, they always call and call 5 or 6 times, which is very annoying – they think I’m just waiting to buy them beer or something.
What about an emergency? What if you want to get a guys phone number? Or give him yours? “I don’t have a phone, I just use my laptop and ride my bike everywhere, so just try to find me randomly riding my bike and we can have lunch or something”.
I gave my dad the phone back because he wants it when he takes the car somewhere, but a phone is personal to me, so I just gave it to him and said I’ll get a pre-paid phone so that I can have my privacy and save money.
Actually the people asking for your phone number when they are interested in you is a very funny thing that I enjoy greatly. So when I reply “I don’t have a phone” they never believe me. They think it’s a lie and usually get angry and leave. I never explain it, why should I, if they don’t think of asking me for my email address or something else then they’re pretty unimaginative which means they’re potentially boring anyway.
Ok let me put it this way, unless you need a phone for work, the negative aspects of owing a phone are just not worth it to me.
I see crazy people with their phones every day, one thing that drives me mad is when they are texting, and they type on their phones really fast like others do only with keyboards. It’s ridiculous. Or when they just sat down somewhere to eat and suddenly they realise they can’t find their phone. They get all freaky and search for it as if they just lost their new born. My friends pick on me for not having a phone all the time but every now and then one of them loses their phone and can’t afford to buy a new one and once they get used to it they enjoy it too and say things like, wow it’s like I’m on vacation.
Yeah, not having a phone is nice.
Perhaps just have one for emergencies and work maybe?
But about the emailing thing: it’s a bit weird.
I think it’s a good idea to keep real life and internet separate, and not having a cell phone now is kind of ridiculous – everyone has one.
About the vacation thing: if you don’t want to be bothered, don’t turn the phone on!
I mean what if there is an emergency with your family or something? How will they contact you???
I am going to lose this post, because I paid more, not less. But here goes.
I really don’t need a phone anymore. I carried one for emergencies when I was commuting to work thirty miles each way. Now my work is ten minutes away and there is no place along the way that is too far to walk if the car broke down, so I really don’t have much need for a phone.
I DO carry my ipod everywhere (I have an itrip to use in the car) and i plug the ipod into my zoned whole-house sound system when I get home.
I also use a PDA every day for my work, and couldn’t live without it.
After I dropped it in the toilet it just made the most sense to get an iphone. I only have to carry ony piece of junk around.
It has bluetooth, GPS, camera, video, music library, USB cord, and 32gigs built in, so I don’t need to add a card.
It also has a phone application. It’s kind of a game boy, too, so I can go back to enfoying a piece of junk I haven’t carried around in years.
Iphones and clones are great, but they don’t have a qwerty keyboard…that’s the only bad part.
I do keep it separated, in the sense that, if I apply for a job they wouldn’t be able to look up my full name on the Internet and find my posts about tripping on Mexican mushrooms and worshipping David Lynch.
Yeah it may be ridiculous but I’m doing fine so far. The only time I got into trouble because I had no phone was because I was on a really old train. By the time I almost arrived I was the only one left in the section of the train I was sitting, so I get up, the train stops and I can’t open the fucking door. It was really old and heavy, then I gave up and tried the next section, same problem. The conductor appeared to be on the other end so I opened a window and attempted to jump out. However there was snow on the ground and it was really high too so I was afraid I’d slip and break my neck. To have a better chance at not breaking my neck I threw my bag out first, I was just about to jump when the train starts moving which meant I was definitely going to break my neck. I actually ended up at the police station because they made this new stupid law that when a conductor catches someone without a ticket, my ticket was in the bag that I threw out of the window, they have to call the police.
All of this was very exciting and it would have never happened if I had a phone.
Again, if you have a phone and you just turn it off, people will get mad at you. Same as ignoring their calls when it’s turned on.
If there’s an emergency hm I don’t know. All my relevant relatives live in different countries except for my father. I guess he would send me a letter. I believe some very smart person said, and I’m paraphrasing, that the most precious things one will ever own are letters.
I have a keyboard. It is just virtual, not hard. The software actually “learns” the way that you use it and I noticed that it got better the more I used it. After about a week I hardly ever typed mistakes and I actually like this better than a “real” keyboard. Like all things Apple, it is very intuitive.
Serious discussion is not so serious… but unnecessarily long.
Oh, and: Ha! DieA’s a waitress!
Yeah a waitress and a bookkeeper, what’s so fucking funny about that.
I’m also studying to become a lawyer the job thing is just something I do in my free time so that I’m more disciplined.
Damn I wish I had that choice to have a job out of boredom.
I believe that’s what you call people who want to work, and not people who:
HAVE to work, dread it, hate it, hate helping people, and just want money – like me.
What matters is your perspective. I’m a spoiled only child and I can get as much money as I want from my father but I changed my mind about it a while ago. When I talked to my American friend for the first time he told me how he had to work because otherwise he can’t afford to pay for his school and I was really impressed by that. People here don’t have to work if they go to school even if they’re not very rich. It’s different in America and I wanted to see if I could do it. Since I’m still doing it, that means it’s a good thing because I would have stopped otherwise. It builds character. I also don’t believe in any of that, if you’re not doing what you love for a living you can’t be happy, bullshit. It’s all about what you can do with what is available, if the perfect job is not available, maybe a different perspective on the old job is.
I wish I had adventures like yours, die.
waiting tables is a great way to make money while you are going to school
if i were on dieA’s continent i would totally ride my bike to her restaurant and ask her for her phone number. and then she’d tell me she didnt have one, and i would believe her, and she would be all excited because i believed her. and then we’d ride bikes all over the place. and the sun would exploeded because it was totally jealous of me. and then the whole world died because it froze and shit.
also, i got my iphone like a year ago and it’s so much more than a phone. like the phone part is 1/1000ths of what i use it for.
it’s why i can make 500 posts a day to McS.
Lotus:
1. Do you actually own a bike? I do.
2. I agree about the iphone – sort of. I don’t like apple products, and I don’t really call people, but I text, send pictures, save pictures, music, video, take pictures, take video, voice record, etc.
this is the main reason why i use the iPhone:

it also shows the full qwerty keyboard
*natedog,. not lotus. I didn’t expect such maturity from you
I am glad to have exceeded your expectations, and am glad I could repay the favor. I have to admit that every post of yours I see is surpasses the high standard of Internet faggotry you’ve set for mankind. though I have the highest of expectations for your. legendary faggotry, the depths of your cancer never fail to amaze and astound. I await your next post with baited breath; like a praying mantis that lures its lover into a loved drenched death-coma.
except in your case it’s a gay praying mantis. and it’s gigantic.
“I await your next post with baited breath; like a praying mantis that lures its lover into a loved drenched death-coma”
Sounds like your tactics with women.
So what if I practice with women.
howabout…. get a fucking iphone?
At the very minimum get a boost phone. But damn, shell out the $70 a month for the new unlimited/Android market plan from T-Mobile. These phones are fucking amazing.
We’re so living in the future. 10 years ago computers and mobile phones were giant, and the power of these new phones are exponentially more awesome, and very adaptable.
Avoid the Droid/iPhone. $100/month for a service plan is old news.
I like my LG Dare. Turn it, BAM, FULL (virtual) KEYBOARD. I wish the keys were a bit more precise though. Next time I’ll get a slide-out or flip-out keyboard.
DMYTRIW, my service plan is $30/month, not $100
My reason for not using a cell phone is simply that, the act of holding a microwave transmitter next to my brain just seems inadvisable.
Hell yes. I’m going to quote you on that one, jedi.
I have the Droid with a 3-line plan for under $100 a month. It’s a really basic plan with internet. Why pay extra for texts when you have unlimited internet?
I’m actually writing a musical about this phenomenon. So far, I hadn’t thought to included someone who simply had no need for a phone. If you’d like, email/myspace me and I’ll name the brand new character after you.
Whoa whoa. Who are you referring to blue eyed one? Me?! Oh god. I hope it’s me. If it is me, how do I email/myspace you? Or I guess you could add me but I need to login. I haven’t done that in a while though. Just tell me if it’s me and then boombabambam.
how the hell are all of the comments rated +41???
WTF
try it without 5 free accessory kits .
free items usually have a limit of 1 per customer
not give me all of them so nobody else has a chance of getting one…
you greedy tard
