I would say Verizon has the best deals and phones. The are the number 1 company.</end quote></div>
Since my area of expertise is actually with land line stuff and hardwire data stuff, I actually don't know much about what VZ Wireless has to offer.
Honestly, I have AT&T, since it was Cingular(about 5 years now) and have a grandfathered rate plan my company can beat, even with the tiny employee discount they finally offered us. They weren't always the best coverage, but they have made vast improvements in the last 2 years, so I haven't seen a reason to change.
The PHONE makes a difference in reception! I know my Motorola Razr gets reception where other models don't. It's been a couple years since I got a new phone though, so I am not particularly up on the new stuff. Although I am very tempted with some of the flashy stuff out there, I opted to buy a new computer instead. I just can't choke down the money any of them want for the newest phone and then want to lock you into a 2 year contract on top of it. Free phones are fine, but I still hate the contract thing. I am stubborn like that. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-shocked.gif[/img]
Not very helpful. I know there's a site I used to read up on the best reviews. I will look for it and post it in a bit. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

</end quote></div> haha gotta love 6 ply tires [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] we have the 6 ply razr's on the 400 & not sure how many ply the mudlites on the kodiak are but the spyder tracs were no match for nails also!!</end quote></div>
Yeah, don't know if any quad tire would have survived that nail. Think I'd better start carrying a repair kit along with a compressor, maybe it's time for atleast a rear hard case for goodies [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]</end quote></div>
The hard cases can put you off balance I think but I have a nice tank bag on the Kodiak w/ goodies in it, also our little compressor fits just right under the seat [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] Should get some of those little compressed air thingies LOL like Jayna has, guess it's too early to think of the name [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img] I need to get some padding for my rear rack I have a new rider that LOVES to ride back there [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] The white dog in that pic I posted yesterday [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img], gonna make it a little more comfy for him someday!!</end quote></div>
We got a nice little kit that fits in my back pack. Comes with patches and a few co2 cartridges. Having a portable compressor in the truck isn't a bad idea though.

So,,,i need your help
Who has the best price on cell phones? I am thinking of 2 verizon phones,,,for julie and I
When we changed plans a month ago at work,,,verizon had the best deal.,,,and it seems many people we call are usuing verizon,,,and with free verizon to verizon,,,this makes sense to us
i dont stay up to speed on this stuff,,,and i know some of you folks do.....
JAYNA!!!!</end quote></div>
I have been w/ Verizon for eones now, was going to cancel & go w/ AT&T but Verizon stepped up w/ a good offer for me so I stayed [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] If alot/most of the people you talk to on it are already w/ Verizon then that is probably the way to go as V 2 V is free, I have the chocolate phone which I really didn't need as it is more for music playing but it holds more pics also which I like, I am just now getting music on it haha, we have ALWAYS gotten GREAT reception ANYWHERE we go w/ my phone even in Darrington if you go up the hill haha, when we travel it pretty much works everywhere that is a main reason I stick w/ them!! I had DJ on my plan but he ran it up LOL,it was $100 month for 700 shared min. but now I pay $60 for like 900 minutes + $5 for 250 text/pic a month it does me fine, you can add a 2nd line for $10 month that is not bad as long as you don't go over THEN it gets spendy [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]
They have good offers on phones also you can get free ones or pay a little & get a rebate which is what I did w/ my phone, I pd. $80 & got $50 rebate so $30 for the $200 phone [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
Hope this helps DON'T GO W/ T-MOBILE they suck bad LOL, horrible reception ect. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

Val and I are also looking at new phones, we'll stay with Verizon, but get new phones since our old clunkly ones don't do Bluetooth, need to get onboard with these Spock like devices hanging off everybodys ears, or maybe I just won't talk while driving, hummmmmmmm[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
