Is it just me or what ? Re; Cell phone service

Is it just me or do others find that once your contract is up with your provider that your service just isn't as good as while you were under contract ? As in your texts are harder to send or late being received ? You have to start getting close to a window in order to call someone when before your phone worked fine everywhere in the house ? Needless to say they keep pushing offers to sign up again.

Just one of those things that make me go ... mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ???

What phone? Apple has been known to force updates that essentially make their phones inoperable. Good old Blackberries never had this problem, just started up the old Curve a month or so ago and it still connects as it used to.

They will not make hardware but my old phone will still work, unless they change the network and no longer support 3G or 4G.

I have 7 or 8 blackberries, they all still work.
