I have a Nokia 5165--I had a contract, but it ran out, so I am month to month now with no responsibility contract wise. I have unlimited mobile to mobile (90% of my calls are between me and my husband!) I don't leave home without it since I commute. My husband also commutes, in a totally different direction. Alas, mine does not vibrate, but I could buy a special battery that vibrates. No worries, though, my PAGER vibrates, so I can beep myself over, and over, and over...You get the picture!
Does Yours Vibrate?

I had one but cancelled it back in '99. It would only vibrate if I put it on silent ring. I found that I just didn't use it enough to keep it.

Mine comes in a tight little package and makes cute little chirping noises when the vibrator is on.

You do know that your thread is destroying the exalted position of YK's latest thread, don't you?

Nokia is the phone/ ATT worldnet is the provider
$29.99 month for 300 peak minutes/2000 off peak minutes
no text messaging
Yes it works abroad. I take it to Mexico/Canada with me, but a cautionary tale here. ATT didn't charge me roaming because I switched it to "global service" for one month (yes you can do that), I think I paid $59 for 200 minutes that month. While ATT did not charge extra, the Mexican satellite or whatever the hell company tried to spam my ATT bill for $300 in 'access charges.' As you might imagine, those charges were removed by ATT following some pretty hefty bitching by yours truly.
They then told me that if I wanted to use the phone globally again, they would send me some type of gadget that would make sure that I only accessed 'their' network when calling.
and NO it doesn't vibrate.
The tone varies, because my kid is always changing it/playing games on it.

I have a Nokia 3310 with a cute 'eeyore' (from winnie the pooh) fascia on it.
its pay as you go, O2 Network.
I send between 5 and 20 texts a day.
I have the normal 'ring ring' tone and it does vibrate. Scares me to death sometimes when its in my pocket and it goes off!!
I think I can use it abroad but it cost something ridiculous like 3 quid a minute so i wouldnt bother.
A word of warning, steer clear of Sainsburys mobile. I had a contract with them and its been a total nightmare. I tried to cancel after the 3 months you are allowed to cancel after and they are STILL sending me bills. I cancelled in February and havent used it since but now i am getting threatening letters from them. I know loads of people who have had major problems with them and I wouldnt go near them again.

So other countries have pay as you go too? This is where you pay, say, a tenner using a swipe card and your phone is instantly credited with that amount? I use this system ,no bills ever and it does make me more cautious about using my mobile overmuch.

$29.99 a month, forget the minutes...

Damn right it vibrates when it rings, when I get paged, have voice mail, or email on it, when it turns off, or on...Vibrate is the only way to go.

Sometimes, I call myself from my home phone and just let it "vibrate" for hours......LOL.
