Got a cell phone?

If you've got a cell phone, who's your carrier? Are you happy/unhappy, what do you like/dislike?

I have Cingular. I hate it. Old phone, dropped calls, no service, poor customer service, you name it, it's probably happened to me in a bad way with cingular.

I use T-Mobile. Being that my girlfriend works there, I get one heck of a deal. I used to have Sprint but the coverage here was terrible. Overall, I have no complaints with them.

Sprint PCS. They have great coverage. I have been many places in the lower 48 states and Alaska where my phone will work. I have two phones on my plan, 1 for me, 1 for the wife. We pay about 70 bucks for both of them, lots of features. Overall I say Sprint is a great service will reall good coverage. Can't go wrong with them.

I have used AT&T one rate for years. It is the only one that works more or less everywhere - there are a couple of places where a roaming network hijacks calls that require a credit card number to place - I move down the road when that happens..

My wife has a verizon for 3 months now $50 for 400 anytime 4000 night/weekend, she never goes over so its fine, service seems to be pretty good, I would say very few dropped calls.......good reception for a celly

Previous carriers were sprint, sucked they couldnt even cancel service properly, lots of dropped calls and poor reception
Us Celluar was pre sprint and I was happy with their service, decent recpetion, local storefront customer service center/bill payment was nice, I prefer to deal face to face not over the phone so the us celluar would be my fav pick

all plans were around $50 but the minutes have gone up, the verizon she bought has a local service center/payment center, but it consists of a dang "maill kiosk", which makes it a hassle so I mail the bill

I have T-mobile (wifes), Verizon, and Nextell. The Verizon has the best service, however, the T-mobile is the cheapest. (The Verizon and Nextell are company phones.) We have yet to have any problems with the T-mobile. I wouldn't recomend the Nextell, unless the majority of the people you contact have Nextell, then that would be the way to go. The two way feature is nice.

I've got a Nextel. Is good when your buddies ahve it, the two way is cheap if you use ti in the same state. Reception is fluky, sometimes I don't even hear the phone ring. Kinda pricey, but then again, they are are. Now that you can keep your number, maybe we'll see some competition in price and customer service.

I got a Verizon phone, very happy. The only time I have had a call dropped is when I called into a bad are for all radio transmissions. $45 after taxes, 40 anytime minutes, natiowide coverage, 1000 mobile to mobile, and unlimited nights and weekends.

Cellphone is a code word for "Push send and spend"

So far Nextel has worked the best for me. I think that it all depends on where you live/travel as far as who the best carrier is. Nextel works the best for me and the company pays for it
