What are the good or bad phones to get that work on the AT&T network?
https://business.attwireless.com/busines...oryId=cat120034

Currently we have an old Nokia & a house phone and through work I can get a Family plan with free phones, free nights & weekends, free in family calling and 1162 minutes for $59.99 plus taxes and other hidden charges.

That plan sound fine for our needs, I'm just no sure about what phones to be getting. Not realy intrested in a camera phone, loads of games, or ring tones out the ying yang, nor do I want to pay much for the phone.
I think I can get the Motorola V180 for free - actually it must be an old version of it as the one the rep. was talking about have a B&W screen and was a tri-band phone.

I have been happy using a Sony Ericsson T616 on the AT&T network for the last 10 months or so. I bought it through Amazon.com with a 1yr contract and ended up getting the phone for free and getting $75 back. Looks like the deal now is $50 back, but still, getting a free phone and $50 back is pretty nice. Search for "T616" on Amazon and you'll see the various deals.

I'll seccond the T616 for someone who isn't too interested in the "features" newer phones provide. The T616 is a good phone - SE got the bluetooth, battery and UI right for the phone. The camera sucks, but they all do...

The V505 is probably the best flip phone at&t has at the moment. It'll cost more, however.

(No bluetooth is a deal breaker for me, so I don't consider the non-bluetooth phones an option... so take my advice with a grain of salt)

Yeah, bluetooth is a huge plus on the T616.

I have been real happy with my (Sl56 also works). It has nice infrared integration with my outlook phonebook and calendar. Its been out for a while and is noticeably slower functions than the new phones out now.
