i know this has been asked many of times already

i also seen all the commercials but they all say the same shit!

BUT WERE LOOKING TO GET A NEW CELL PHONE PROVIDER

and i wanna know who has the best service, meaning less dropped calls and hardly never looses signal. something 10 times better then what Nextel offers, i have terrible service, with so many dropped calls it aint even funny.

whats weird about it, me and brenda narrowed it down that when were on peak calls never get dropped and always got a good signal then off peak where as calls constantly get dropped and the signal is poor.

i called Nextel and they gave a song and a dance, they said thats because more people use the phone during off peak with a stupid explanation!

Nextel is gabaggggge...I've had Verizon for years, had zero issues all up and down the east coast including the middle of nowhere in Arizona.

But...enter Cakes...:lol:

Real simple, as far as the best, its really down to two providers. Verison, and T-Mobile. Right now, as far as "total coverage area" goes...Verizon has that on lock. As far as best call quality, lesser amount of drop calls, and better plans, T-Mobile.

I've got Cingular and never have any issues. Nokia phones work well with them and I've got a manager friend who works at one and will take care of you if you guys go...PM me if you need more information or tell the wifey to give me a call.

Lil tip on Cingular, when they were using T-Mobile's network, we noticed there were huge amounts of calls being dropped...after we investigated it was Cingular's issue...we tried to called their NOCC and it was like no one gave a crap. They did nothing about it and all we can do was just sit there and watch them shed calls, momos. This was about a year or so ago.

That was also ONE issue local to you pinky. :P I've got cingular and I know in your area south as well as down here in south jersey I've had 0 issues with cingular, I've had 0 dropped calls and I do a lot of travel back and forth to chicago, atlanta and the west coast for my job... but that's IMHO... Verizon is ok, but I had problems with dropped calls with them too, and other oddball shit here and there, you're going to get it with them all...

Point I was making isn't about the actual issue...but rather no urgency whatsoever to try and remedy the problem. They either A- just didn't seem to care or B- not know what do in that situation. Either way, poorly ran operations dept. Hope for their sake they do things a little differently. Generally speaking, the normal cell using public really doesn't know what it takes to make one call go through, the infastructure of a network is truly amazing. The ONLY thing wireless on a wireless network is from ones phone to the cell tower. EVERYTHING else is miles upon miles upon miles of cabling. So much shit can go wrong. And it does. No matter who ya have.
