kapkomet Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I know many of you have asked this question before... but I'm sick of Cingular (dropped calls like crazy) and I want to switch. I think we're going with Verizon (BTW - I'm in Texas so local Chicago companies won't work - ie. US Cellular). Which nationwide company do you all recommend? Who has verizon? Are ya'll ok with it? I used to have Verizon and didn't have any issues with them... are they still pretty reliable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soxy Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 To be honest, your best bet is to look at one of those service maps what has where the best coverage is. Because, I think, regionally the best cell phone providers will vary. Where I am I have the best service with Cingular, but in Minnesota Cingular service was average at best. So, I would say look to see which cellphone has the best coverage for your area and go with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoda Posted August 30, 2005 Share Posted August 30, 2005 I have Verizon and the coverage around here is very good. Judging by the coverage map that I have here with me, there is absolutely no coverage for Verizon users in the west part of Texas. If I were you I much rather get T-Mobile. They have a great family plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chisoxfn Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Verizon rocks, although its a little more expensive than cingular/tmobile/att/etc I'm really happy with it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We went with Verizon. West Texas is covered. I got the phone with the TV plan... that phone kicks ass. So now I get to watch TV on my cell phone.

Rowand44 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Verizon is very good, that's what I have now because I have a national package now. When I was in chicago I had U.S. Cellular which was absolutely amazing service wise, unfortunately they don't cover carbondale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
southsider2k5 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 We are ditching Cingular when our contract is up in November. They sucked worse than anything I have ever seen, and they customer service was worse. We are either going to get VZ or go back to NXTL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3E8 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Sprint is good. T-Mobile was terrible for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapkomet Posted August 31, 2005 Author Share Posted August 31, 2005 I had trouble with T-Mobile as well, especially their billing. Back with Verizon, I am, I am. Can you hear me now? GOOD! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RX Bandits Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 Nextel kicks. i love it. I had AT&T before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Kickass Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I hated Nextel service. I liked Sprint, but I've been having customer service issues with them this year. After the merger, you'll see Nextel be a lot more like Sprint - just so you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down here the giant sucking sound was Verizon. I couldn't get service in the middle of McAllen, and if their circuit was busy (which was always) it would bump me to the Cellular 1 towers and I would have to dial an area code. I just switched all 5 of my phones to Cingular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan1 Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 I use Cingular and it is the best service I've had since I have ever owned a cell phone. I get all 5 bars in Northwest Wisconsin, Iowa, South-Central Indiana, and in Southern Illinois. Upper Peninsula, Michigan too! I had T-Mobile before and it blew. Cingular is the way to go for me...

I have Cingular, but my girfriend and other friends have verizon and the reception is terrible and the calls are dropped all the time. Cingular isn't much better though..
