| I have Verizon, what does the rest of ARFCOM have? |
| I have a Nextel. They cost more, and are more monthly, but in the long run I'm happy. The direct connect makes life much easier. I use it for work all the time to avoid using the two way radios. I guess it's all a matter of whether or not you could use it fully, but I'm happy. |

I personally prefer Cingular. Wider Coverage area, better QoS, and I have NEVER had to call customer service ever. I had Sprint PCS before and hated it. Shitty coverage, echoy transmissions, and having to call customer service is a pain. I have to use nextel for work, and it sucks almost as bad a PCS. |

Verizon. They and the phone have been nothing but trouble. Make sure you go over your statement (I have found hundreds of dollars in errors)...do not grab any of their great new offers (it may extend your contract)... In June I will be through with them and the hours I have wasted with their customer service and billing departments. oooops. I sound miffed.  |

Had AT&T early on, when phones were ridiculously priced, there was no such thing as free minutes, no one had them, the phones were the size of a walkie talkie, and oh yeah....it was like $1.60 a minute to use the damn thing. Since those days, I have had Verizon (originally Bell Atlantic) No complaints...they have decent service, comparable prices, and my phones always seem to ring when they are supposed to. |

To all of you that think Verizon is teh suck: My dad has had Verizon since they were Ameritech Cellular, and since Ameritech Cellular was working out of Radio Shack stores. My family has never had a problem with customer service/billing. Me, I have only had one problem with my phone, and it was the manufacturer's fault. Kyocera was putting in defective batteries. But other than that, my family has NEVER had a problem. My dad did try going to Cingular, back when they were Cellular One, and they didn't want to deal with him. |
| Cingular. No choice, as I wanted the RAZR. I've kinda run the gamut....started WAY long ago with Comcast Ceullar One, then went to Sprint PCS (when they had only one phone, the Sony brick phone where you moved the earpiece up to answer the phone), then to Verizon Wireless, then jumped back to Sprint, then back to Verizon, and now I'm with Cingular. Overall EXTREMELY happy with them as well. |
Around here, Cingular has the best coverage, but I'll burn in hell before SBC gets another penny of my money.|
Verizon I have had them for years thru work. The service was great, then I started getting dropped calls. After a few months it got good again. I could get service even in the woods where everybody else's phone was dead. In the last few months, the service has declined. Several calls have gone to voicemail, but the phone had bars. A few hours it would show that there was a message. My company is changing plans, so in a few months I will get to pick a provider. I suspect that that added a lot of new customers without adding more equipment, and it will get good again soon. I'm not sure I will stick with them if this keeps up. |
| Been with Cingular since I got my first cell phone, back when they were Cellular One. I have no intention of changing my service, excellent coverage no matter where I go. Kinda pisses off the people I work with though, as one of my jobs involves selling sprint and verizon. :/ |
A couple of months ago, I was adjusting a microwave antenna on the roof of our building in the center of downtown San Antonio. I was 220 feet up with a 360° unobstructed view of the city. I was 75 feet from an array of cell antennas and couldn't call downstairs to have someone bring a tool up because there was no signal.
