[quote author=“djlotek”]Why not step into the now instead of stepping into the past. Go with a GSM provider. (Cingular or T-Mobile) - Verizon, Sprint, and Nextel use old TDMA/CDMA technologies. Why not use a protocol that EVERY other country in the world uses?

I will never go back to a TDMA/CDMA provider.

ya there good technology.. tahts why vida,paris got hacked lmdfao.

Hey everyone, what cell company should I use. I get cheap nextels, but would that be enough of a reason to switch? Also, anyone have discount codes 😊 Thanks!

I like Verizon.  If you want quality phones and great service Verizon is it.  If you want flashy, gimic phones try Cingular or ATT…

Well I’m sitting here laughing at you because there is virtually nowhere in the US where I dont have a perfect or near perfect signal. Dont worry atleast you got a phone that can do anything but make decent calls.

Are you talking to me? You don’t even know what service I have.  How do you know if I get dropped calls or not, or where I get signal?  You don’t.

ya there good technology.. tahts why vida,paris got hacked lmdfao.

i thought paris’ account wasn’t hacked, someone just guessed her password…guessing someone’s password isn’t hacking.

i dunno what happened with vida’s, but its not the cellular technology that got hacked, its the IS infrastructure that handles all those sidekick photos. so its someone hacking into the database of photos, which doesn’t involve gsm/tdma or any cellular technology.

You are correct.  Its the sites that got “hacked” not the phones.  Now on the same token if you have a bluetooth phone make sure you don’t leave that enabled.  You can steal all their info., make phone calls, get pics, etc.  Those sidekicks aren’t bluetooth so it isn’t what happened.  At defcon (hacker convention) someone snooped a bluetooth phone from like a 1/2 mile away using an antenna.
