What cell phone service do you use?

[Key]

Verizon, which I hate (mostly cause they don't use sim cards and I find that ridiculous in this day and age). Always charging you for every little service, those gits.

I'd like to change to T-Mobile soon. XP

[PrincessJen]

I think Verizon is the best, service-wise and reception-wise. I know they're more expensive than all the rest of the services, but it's the best in my opinion

[memnv]

The reception is better for different companies around the country, Verison owns most of the phone companies in the east that makes it easier for them to get towers there, When I had Verizon I could not get reception around Lake Tahoe, But with Sprint I do, Cingular bought AT&T and that gave them lots more towers, What is cool with T-Mobile is how the minutes can carry over

[Key]

I get too much reception trouble with Verizon.

So tiring.

I know Cingular has roll-over minutes. I wasn't aware T-Mobile / Deutsche Telekom has roll-over.

I know that these GSM providers provide phone service in the United Kingdom: Vodafone UK, o2 UK (BT Cellnet), T-Mobile UK, Orange, Hutchison 3G UK Ltd.

Don't care about phone service oversee's that's what roaming is for which I will not use. Only care about the service on the west coast, and parts of Virginia,Georgia,New York and Florida

See I think Verizaon so far has been the best with reception wise at least in my opinion because when I go to visit family, and i do A LOT, i get great reception and its outside the city of Chicago. I was surprised by that because with Cingular I could not get a signal to save my life out there. With Verizon I had perfect signal even in the basement. NOw my other family members who have sprint, T-mobile, and even nextel couldnt get singal out there either so thats the main reason I don't want to switch.. Hmm what does everyone think. Should I just stay with Verizon and my 400min, unlimited nights/weekends, free roaming or switch to T-mobile and get 1000 minutes, unlimited nights/weekends, free roaming for $5 more. I ownder if t-mobile will get better signal anytime soon or at least more towers, in the east and midwest?

My parents and I used to have a shared minutes plan with AT&T, where the three of us had, like, 1000 minutes a month. I never paid attention to the cell service plans before, 'cause I never used my phone much. And I still don't... not for calls, anyway. Now Cingular ate AT&T (or Qwest, or whatever... ), so we were forced to switch over. I got a shiny new toy in the process, with a camera and everything.

But, for what's important to me with the Cingular plan, I don't like it. I use it to send text messages way more than I actually talk live to people. And the plan only gives 100 free messages - incoming or outgoing - per month. Then they're 10¢ per message after that. I owe nearly $25 for the month of April alone! O_o

Of course, this was all because I hadn't bothered to check the service plans' limits. So let that be an example, Yaya - I commend your efforts at researching this stuff before you jump!

Don't care about phone service oversee's that's what rome is for which I will not use. Only care about the service on the west coast, and parts of Virginia,Georgia,New York and Florida

I like Rome and roaming too. You should care about coverage in Carson City, Nevada.

I'm the exact opposite of you: I care about international service in Deutschland, France, Sverige and other countries. lol

We use Sprint. Hubby travles, I don't, but he hasn't been anywhere yet where he doesn't get a good clear signal. Only places we have not had a good signal is in the mountains or really remote areas... which I would think NO ONE would get good service there.

[Starion]

My experience with T-Mobile is that the coverage is good in and around cities, but not rural areas.

I know what you mean catNC.

-Sprint is the way

I do care about the Coverage in Carson City, Nevada. Of the 3 Carriers I have used Sprint has been the most reliable

You didn't mention Carson City in your list. Thanks for the clarification. I was confused!

My brother's Sprint phone sucks. It's a Samsung phone that has reception problems. I'm sure Sprint's coverage is wonderful; the phone is horrible.

[memnv]

I have a Samsung phone that works fine, I have also had a Sanyo Picture phone, which I have used with sprint. I have had no trouble with either phone

My worst phones have been Nokia

[DreamerQ18]

I am T-mombile girl I love my service its awsome .I use to have cingular but I got over that fast and dont plan on going back.

[Starion]

My brother has a Samsung N240 with Sprint. Several people I talked to don't like that phone either. The audio in CDMA sounds weird and like a Real Audio clip.

I want to try AT&T and Cingular because they use the GSM 850 MHz band. T-Mobile is stuck at 1.9 GHz in the US and Canada.

T-Mobile - Get More.
