Nextel == Sprint w/ yellow + black lettering

I go through a local provider, Cellcom, which allows me to pick up a signal almost anywhere in Wisconsin. Even up in the "northwoods". They're great.

For 49.95 a month (plus 9.95/mo x 2 for two shared lines), we share 1000 anytime minutes, 250 mobile to mobile, free night + weekend calling, and free incoming texts/10¢ to send. And free three-way calling! w00t w00t! They're pretty good, and they're fairly knowledgeable.

Verizon.  I'm alright.  I'm not even sure what plan I have because my father just pays a bulk fee for himself, my sister and me.  And I usually don't have too many calls so for the most part the fact that I have a cell phone is moot.  But I do like the fact that Verizon seems to catch signals in areas my T-Mobile cohorts do not.

Verizon. We are happy customers and my husband is a happy employee! Given the rigorous training their CSR's receive, and the heavy handed way in which the rude ones are dealt with-I can tell they take good care of customers.  I've compared coverage in our rural area and Verizon is able to catch a signal where other carriers cannot.

A firend of mine works for T-Mobile here and they got to play with a lot of the new phones.
He tried that one and said it was very slow.

Oh that sucks to hear. Hmmm, I'll have hope for something better.

Sprint. Yes I'm happy with them. Zero problems.

T Mobile. Love it. Get what i need for the price i want. I'm a former Sprint user. While i was happy with the service, they were just charging too much.

Alltell.  The coverage is great, but the billing and customer service suck.  My wife goes over our bill each month, because it is invariably incorrect:  billing us for minutes that should be in our plan, charging roaming when we have nationwide freedom, etc.  Where I live, they have the best network.  Sprint is useless, and Cellular One is nearly so.

i won't be happy until US Cellular carries the iTunes phone.
i probably won't be happy even after that.

T-Mobile prepaid. Cheaper than Virgin. Seems to get the job done.

i'm still "with" AT&T Wireless, so smurf you, Cingular!

its odd, i left Cingular for AT&T, then a few short months later, they decided to go and have a merger...

yeah, if you decided to keep on as a AT&T customer, Cingular reeeeeeeally screws you hardcore... customer service is nonexistent for one, just about... i always get that pitying "oh, i see you haven't switched to Cingular" nonsense...

when my fiance decided it was time to change plans to something a bit less expensive (she was also an old skool AT&T hanger-on), not only did they make her sign a new two year contract on a plan with less perks, but they forced her to buy a new cell phone although the one she had had been working flawlessly on the "Cingular" network and had been showing "Cingular" in the service line on the phone for the past 5 months...

mine still sez AT&T Wireless...

and one more thing whilst i'm already venting about Cingular... a couple times the past month, i've almost taken the plunge and signed on for a cheaper plan (less perks) and a new phone, but i'm always met with the message (online) that i have an account past balance... its absolute smurf and cingular has yet to come up with a reasonable solution... i refuse to go to a brick-and-mortar as phone selection and prices are always higher and i just have a really icky feeling about doing that sort of thing over the phone...

so in review, Cingular blows...

VIVA LA AT&T WIRELESS!

edit: i guess i should add that no, i do not have a past due balance... just to clear things up...

Verizon. Just signed up last weekend. So far so good. My wife and I got the family share plan.
