Question
hello. i want to get a new phone and my carrier is cingular. the things i usually do on my phone is talk and text. i text ALOT and i was  wondering if there are any phones with a keyboard that doesn't cost too much and have too many extra features that i would'nt use?

Answer
Hello Kailani,

If you want to have the access to a full keyboard you can upgrade through several companies that offer discounts on phones. If you were to upgrade online through Amazon.com, Letstalk.com, Walmart.com and Wirefly.com you can get your phone at a discounted rate from what you would pay at a at&t store. This way you can view several phones with full qwerty keyboards you do not have to get the actual internet or data plan on your phone at all it is not required it is optional. If you do text message alot getting the unlimited text message plan would be good. You can also look at at&t refurbished phones they are given the same warranty as new phones so you do not have to worry. Here are some phones that are full keyboard. I hope that I have been of help to you if you have any other questions please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you for your question.
