| | I'm looking at getting a new mobile phone provider, since my contract with Verizon is running out in a couple of months. I've been doing a little window shopping, but I'd like to hear your opinions, since everyone I know has Verizon. |

A difference of even 30kilobytes download or upload speed doesn't define a network. The reason I said I like the Verizon the best is because of the coverage in even rural locations. Its able to cover almost all of the continental US and compared to At&T, Sprint, T-Mobile the big 3, it has a larger coverage area.

Nextel and Sprint aren't really that good. My brothers have used them before and were not satisfied. Nextel only has 2 cell towers in Florida so there is always a bad connection or no connection at all, I don't think Sprint will help much. I use Cingular as well as the rest of my family now and we are happy with our services, rollover, free nights(after 9), and free weekends, and free mobile to mobile including all other cingular users big plus. We haven't been let down yet, my family has used them for many years, the combination with AT & T just makes it better with even a bigger mobile to mobile network.
I have and am using verizon still. I love it. I havent ever had any problems besides limited service while inside my house. However, we just were in the middle of 3 towers and they added a new one and now that is fixed. I get atleast 3 bars almost everywhere i go so id recommend them. Plus, their phones rock. Mine even is an MP3 player
My sister just got Virgin Mobile, but I know nothing about cell-phones and what makes them good or bad. I've never had one myself, and she hasn't had it long enough to make a decision. One thing that I think is a plus with it, is that there aren't any contracts, which is cool... so you aren't stuck with a phone bill, or a big buyout if you want to switch.
My cousin had that happen. Her phone broke, and she switched providers because she didn't like the one she currently had (they were bad customer service and she was saying that the bills always showed up months late... and stuff). So she switched, but she had to pay for the rest of her contract on the other phone, even though it didn't even work. Sounds bad to me... but I guess if you sign it, you've got to live with it until it runs out.
I have Cingular, and it works great.. there have only been a couple of places where I had problems with the service, and those were the Grand Canyon and Yosemite National Park
 . The phone I received free with the service works well too.. I've had it for over a year now and have had NO problems at all.
hmm.. Dunno which havn't heard of any of them.. lol
 .. Im in Latvia it's very small country in Europ and lol with too 4 mobile providers.. And they always war each aganst other to get more people to join them .. So we have very cheap stuff in here.. I ussaly choose the most longest and most trusted mobile provider in my Country it's LMT..
i would suggest you go with verizon wireless if everyone you know has it...unlimited IN calling...instead of using up the minutes..
I've had Verizon for two years now, my contract is finally up next month so I can finally get a new phone. I've been completely happy with them. No coverage problems, no crazy billing. The even actually lowered my bill when I first started with them. After the first couple of months they noticed a mistake and knocked $10 bucks off a month. Needless to say I was pretty happy that they would actually fix it without me having to complain, or even notice the mistake.
If I had to choose another I would have to go with Cingular/ATT. I like the roll-over minutes idea, and since they joined up with ATT their coverage must be pretty good.
T-mobil has the best phones imo, but the connection is utter crap.
From what i've heard verizon is the best, but cingular would probably be a close second, might be worth trying if you've had a bad experiance with verizon.
I've been a proud T-Mobile customer for a good 6-7 years; ever since it was called Voicestream. I've had some problems here and there but they've always delivered. In my opinion T-Mobile is the most affordable wireless service out there. It has very attractive plans at least 10 dollars less than the competition.

Phones do define a network, if they get the better phones first, like the HTC upcoming phones people will flock there to get it. There is a reason that AT&T has been bashed and berated AFTER the iPhone came out, it redifined the playing field. Before the iPhone you really only had those Treo's and some other WinMo phones. It didn't matter what carrier you were on, there was a phone for you to use as a business or a pleasure device. Now that the rise of personal smartphone computing has risen, the business end has dropped and people are looking at the phones than the network. Initially people flocked to AT&T for the iPhone, but because of the personal uses, only business users are complaining about shoddy networks.
Applying some technological arguments to this thread to end the discussion until anything else better comes along...
 Comparison of Wireless Technologies Here is an awesome table as to what cellular technologies (and therefore, carriers) offer the consumer. According to this chart, it makes sense why AT&T (Cingular was bought out by AT&T) and Verizon are awesome carriers. They are pushing to improve their networks with 3G and later LTE technologies, and they have the capital and the customer base to support that capital. However, if AT&T, T-Mobile, and Sprint actually works on their higher-frequency technologies, they would rule the market, I think. From my understanding, higher-frequency bands are able to penetrate through blockages (depending on what the material is) better than a lower frequency. On this note, though, Sprint is in a bad spot because of company-level issues and that because of these issues, they are actually unable to satisfy their customer base and losing out on customers, which also means that there's no capital to improve on the network. I don't think that they're even trying to expand the iDEN technology as they are more focused on bringing QChat to the table to replace the Nextel PTT. (QChat will work on CDMA.) If that happens, there's no point to having Nextel around except to support current customers and current users of Boost Mobile (which runs on the same technology). AT&T faces a good bit of competition from Verizon thanks to what I hear as great service, reliability, and customer loyalty... but doesn't AT&T have the same, if not at that same extent? (Then again, I've read that the CDMA technology will be the most superior when it actually matures. GSM is rather old but still kicking around with a lot of utility, and the standard is here to stay because GSM IS the standard worldwide.) Personally, I was going to go with Verizon because of all the good things I've heard about it, and I was foolish enough not to explore AT&T on the basis that they didn't have a rugged handset that I liked. That's another thing that drives customers too: if you have cool phones that people like, you're going to have a potential user base for that carrier.
This is an old poll, since Verizon bought Alltell already. In my opinion I haven't had too much of a problem with lost calls or dead zones with Verizon. Some hotels are rather annoying but its just the rooms. Maybe's its the ceiling that doesn't let me get a signal. Verizon has the best service and a lot of people have it so the whole Verizon to Verizon thing really does help cut down your bill. Its self-sufficient but the prices are ridiculous. Its at least 10 dollars more than any plan to get texting, and the family plans are worse. Even data doesn't come without texting, its completely ridiculous.
