I have had Verizon for ever..I like the service but I think I want a change. I am considering AT&T and I guess T-Mobile also... What does everyone have and more importantly are you happy with your current cell service?

T-mobile, Gets a ton of bashing from others. But I've had it 9 years now and have never had a problem. BTW, I'm in CNJ.

yeah, my plan is pretty much unlimited usage on everything for only $50.99/ month. Same plan with Verizon would cost me close to $90/ month as of last year when I shopped around. Plus, it's a one year contract, so every year they send me a new phone to stay one more year. ...it took a lot of threatening over the years to get (just about) unlimited everything.

Well i have been a verizon, att&t (cingular), and t-mobile customer. There all pretty much the same.

I am currently with t-mobile (had them for about a year now) and i am very happy with my service. I use the myfaves plan with a blackberry server plan. The prices are really good and the service has gotten a lot better since i had them 4 years ago.

I am currently with Vzw. Had Cingular/AT&T for years (I think they were previously Comcast and CellOne)... I was mostly happy with the service, although coverage at work wasnt all that great. After the AT&T/Cingular merger my coverage at home was non existant, and that was the first time I had to really deal with customer service and it was horrible. They kept blaming the phone and trying to lock me into a new contract. Sigh.

Switched to Vzw almost 3 years ago and coverage is much better for me than Cingular ever was. It was good enough to drop my landline, which I would have never considered with Cingular. Pricing/minutes are similar but no rollover hurts on those months I am jobless and making lots of daytime calls.

Had an ex with Tmobile, and coverage was spotty and call quality was horrible. The phone was a cheap Panasonic, so that may have been most of the problem.

Ultimately you need your phone to make calls. Make sure whatever you get works in the 2 places you spend most of your time (work & home).

I've had verizon for years and the service was good. I had to switch to AT&T last year when I got my iPhone and the reception is not as good (not sure if it's the actual phone or the carrier). But I get service where you would expect, but in spots where it's questionable, I definitely do not while some other people, verizon people mostly, do. Your best bet is to talk to co-workers from the same area.

Do you like your iphone? That is basically why I am asking. I would like to go to an iphone and in order to do that I need to move to AT&T. I could also just go to a blackberry.. I dunno...

I alwys think about switcing to another carrier but i kinda feel they are all the same. Been with verizon better then cingular/att, i had that years ago and it was fantastic for droping calls. It was so good i have been known to "fake call brake up" ex girlfriends... hahaha your.. b--- r pp... all .. b..r ception !!! hahahaha
