Cricket Wireless – My Cricket Adventures 12/31/2008

I was driving home just the other day talking to my friend on my Cricket EZ and for the first time since I can remember I lost a call on a cell phone, it was just dropped. Well actually I have lost other calls when calling from 0 or 1 bar areas before, but that was not the case here. I'm driving along and my friend's voice turns into digital gibberish. I say "Hello, you are breaking up," because I'm so used to it being the other guy's phone. Seconds after that I look down and the call timer shows the length of the call and suddenly 0 bars on a road I've made several calls from as I approach home - I call home before I get there to see if we need anything picked up.

I'd also like to add that I really miss my old cell phone also because I had an earbud/headset with it -  I really need to get one. I hope the Cricket EZ headset/earbud is still $9.99, very decent price.

Has anyone had a Cricket EZ phone? I've been told by the sales people at the local Cricket store that they're not very sturdy phone.
