I've had Verizon since.....I can't remember who they were back then, but for about 15 years now. The only problems I've ever had was trying to make a call from the coast of Maine. You have to get out on a rock with line of site with Portland. Other than that.........I also had Nextel for a couple of years at the same time. I got rid of it because it will NOT work in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Verizon paid off during that vacation.

If T-Mobile offered me 4 free camera, mp3 phones with free text, free photo,free free unlimited music and all downloads, free unlimited internet use and unlimited calls all for life with no chance of ever having a charge, i would still use Cingular or Verizon.

everytime i hear their name or see their booth

Uh.........Maybe I should change?
Have been using T-mobile for several years, and with the exception of one sales person being decietful about the features of particular phone, I can't complain about them.

We've had verizon going on 8-years now. The KEY is talking with others who actually LIVE in YOUR area, as coverage changes depending on location. Real Estate agents are a good source, as they drive to different locales daily and can tell you what works where - and what doesn't!

Check with some local people and find out which company offers the best coverage in your area.

Best of luck!

T-Mobile isn't really all that bad. It's just the coverage that isn't as large. We are working on that though. We're beginning to turn our attention more to the residential areas rather than the main highways and such. It's just that I've been with AT&T/Cingular for about 7 years and have never had any problems with them. So no point in changing what's already working. Hey. If anything, T-Mobile has the hottest spokesperson of all time!

I'm with Cingular right now. The nice thing about them is that they have a huge network in place. There's very few areas that I've driven through or visited that I didn't have decent signal/roaming.

There's a few dead spots where I lose calls (ironically at my house), but all in all, it's pretty good.

I was with US Cellular until I moved to AL. USCC doesn't own any cell towers here.
