Alright, for the last 4 years I've been one to go out and get the phone that comes free with the plan, which has worked perfectly fine for me. However, I'm kind of looking into different phones this time around. My 2 years are up on Cingular, and I'm eligible for a new phone.
Although this feature isn't necessary to me, but is it possible to get a phone with free WiFi access to connect to local access points, instead of having to pay for the service monthly? It seems that many of the phones I see say that they have wifi access, but have no mention of the fact that you have to pay monthly to use what should be free connections.
I saw the Cingular 8125 which looks really nice, ($50 refurb with plan) but it seems to require you to sign up/pay for something to access wifi points.
I'd like it if the phone also has a decent ring volume setting, and if it has a simple silencing method (Pressing one/multiple keys to set it to vibrate and turn off all sounds).
So if you have any advice on phones for cingular, please inform me. The cheaper they are, the better. I've been looking, and don't know what allows the free wifi I'm looking for (if any). I'm not one for paying for extra services like internet access or messaging. If I can't get that, then I'll probably go with an inexpensive/free phone they offer again.
Any advice is appreciated!
Thanks!
