Cell Phone Services
Anyone use virgin mobile for cell service? I am trying it here in Canada, and so far it is pretty good! Fairly cheap rates and decent service, just wanted to see what you guys out there are all using!

I am using Nextel. The rates are fairly decent and service used to be superb but since that storm that tore up a nice chunk of this area last year, I guess a bunch of their towers were damaged but the service is now "so-so" to put it nicely. It works great in my area and where I am most of the time but my mom is in the hospital in the New Orleans area and it works good there just in route there your signal is a hope and a prayer.

Out here in the Midwest, I use US Celullar, have signal a good portion of the time. Sprint is concentrated around the major roads, so those of us that aren't near a major road have nothing from them. Nextel had more area, and generally has coverage if you have the free roaming plan...

When I say my boss has the cheapest free phone I mean the cheapest nokia made. He can loose signal on the nokia and I have full bars. His phone bites he calls me and I get static sometimes and he could be within a mile of a tower. I explained that the phone he has is the worst rated nokia for reception. He won't spring for a better phonem so it's his own fault. I have a samsung and a sanyo and I get great reception almost all the time. Only time I dont is when I am in a valley in between towers.
