It depends what has the best signal where you're at... if Verizon has the best reception where you live then you're in luck.... 'cus my friend e-mailed me a site where you can get some of nicest phones (smart phones) - brand new - real cheap.... WITHOUT having to get a data plan (internet plan) on top of your minutes plan.

$49.99 Motorola Q
$79.99 Blackberry 8703e
$99.99 Blackberry Pearl 8130
$99.99 Motorola Q9m
$149.99 Blackberry 8330 Curve
$179.99 Blackberry 8330 World Edition

Just to name a few! LOL. Again, I repeat... Verizon DOES NOT require you to get an internet plan with these prices... which is awesome 'cus those can make your monthly bill pretty darn high. Unless of course if you really want the internet. I sent the site to you via Private Message 'cus I don't think I'm allowed to post links.

Message me if you have any questions. I hope that helped. ttyl!
