Samsung Slider phone = Nightmare in Bethel, OK!

My husband and I recently purchased the new Samsung slider phone. We wanted to upgrade. We called customer service (barely scraping by on understanding what they were saying) and everything went smoothly as to switching numbers and minutes and everything seemed fine and dandy. Until we tried to call and text. We had no service anywhere.
We called Net10 back, and after trying to translate what they were saying, it turns out that since this new phone doesn't have a SIM card, the AT&T tower that is around here is preventing us from having service. I could sit in my living room and have full bars with the Motorola I had before. Now I have to drive almost fifty miles to get service. Because the Samsung is all digital and has no SIM card, it may take up to six months to fix! SIX MONTHS??? Ugh!
We have decided to take these phones back and get another phone that comes with a SIM card. My advice? Don't get this Samsung Slider unless you live in a big city. Otherwise you will NOT have service.
