Wait what the hell! Thats so stupid isn't Verizon-Verizon supposed to be free? And using double the minutes if you call someone in your family plan what a rip off. But I am upgrading my phone will that still mean that i can't get Verizon-Verizon for free?coolbho3000 said:http://voice.google.com/Jakob95 said:Since I am going to drop my current texting plan when I get this is there a way to text using Data?

Get a Google number and use the Google Voice app to make calls with your Google number. Free unlimited texting, and they'll be archived in the cloud just like e-mail, along with voicemail transcriptions and other goodies. As soon as you get your new phone, don't tell people your actual phone number, just your Google number.
The only disadvantage is that Verizon-Verizon calls will now use minutes, but you can make free texts (on a family plan, if you call a family member, it will actually use double minutes on your family plan) so there's a tradeoff. If you're not one to get near your minute limit then it's a good choice.
Just forwarded my phone with Google voice. I called the Google voice number with my house phone and it went to my cell phone. But when I pick up its really annoying because they ask me to accept press 1 any way to remove that?coolbho3000 said:The Google Voice number forwards to your actual number, so any phone calls made to it will ring your phone. You can choose not to use your Google Voice number to make calls and just text with it, and this will not impact your minutes, but you'll have 2 numbers (one for calls and one for texts). I personally don't go through the trouble and just use my Google Voice number.
You need the Google Voice app for Android which will also let you text on the number for free.Jakob95 said:I managed to remove that. Anyways if I call someone from my cell on there Caller ID it doesn't show my Google Voice number but my real Cell number.

this, windows mobile 6.5 is utter garbage, however windows phone 7 is a brand new mobile OS and has lots of potential (although i wouldn't recommend it over android, at least not yet)coolbho3000 said:The Incredible.Jakob95 said:What should I get the LG ally or HTC Imagio?

You will regret getting a WM 6.5 phone. If you want WM, get WP7.
android 2.1 and up can play flash tooJakob95 said:I heard it can play Flash videos though.
TBH you don't really want to use Flash on any mobile platform right now, even the best implementation (Flash 10.1 Android 2.2) is pretty shitty.Jakob95 said:I heard it can play Flash videos though.
