T-Mobile Cell Phones

FYI-East Orange Jersey is not Posh at all, don't know about South.

what do they say about jersey girls? [the only ones i still know are my sisters!] just what are they up to that i dont know, will i not want to know? hehe

South Orange is upper middle class with some giant houses in parts, West Orange a bit less so...while Orange and especially East Orange are run down.

That said, my father lives in South Orange and my T-Mobile phone works fine there and in Maplewood. Reception used to be spotty in downtown Maplewood, near the train station, but it's better now.

It's a great place to live. Housing prices have gone up close to 300% in the past eight years, though, since they got a direct train link to Manhattan (only a 30-minute ride!)

Gorc, how is verizon, I am thinking about getting sattelite, internet, and land line from them?

T-Mobile works fine in densely populated areas and around major highways (such as DC and the I-95 corridor) but there is no reception in rural areas.

I have T-Mo because 1) it's by far the best value, with 1000 minutes and unlimited nights and weekends for $39.99/mo; and 2) it permits international roaming, albeit at a pricey 99 cents per minute in most of Europe.

The signal is spotty in parts of Charlottesville, where I live, but I have a prepaid analog phone through AT&T (ends up costing me $6.66/month) that I keep in my car and use for emergencies if my T-Mobile phone doesn't work.

Only problem for you Northern Virginians is that T-Mobile has very few "703" numbers left, so you'll be stuck with an unfamiliar "571" area code unless you bring your number over from another cell carrier or your landline.
