    AirTouch/Verizon for eons. Did the ATT before Cingular and they were so-so okay.

    I don't switch b/c now I'm on month-to-month-- my 2 yr agreement is completed and I don't want to sign another one. Had over $600 due to my former fiance and his keeping the phone and all his charges, and they (V) canceled my contract and charged me the early termination fees. Took me a while to pay it off, but that's all done with. If I went anywhere else, there's smaller coverage area, or no coverage at all when I travel to E Oregon to see family.

    Doesn't matter where you go or who U do biz with, all the fees are just legal rip-offs, but since it's the only phone contact I have, I just keep the handset (phone hardware) until it dies. I don't do the new phone every 1-2 years. Don't see the need when I don't give a fig about the MP3, texting or anything besides vmail or call-forwarding, -waiting.

    V's pretty good (fair to middlin') about giving me credit for dropped calls. Unfortunately, even around here, there are A LOT of dead spots where the calls get dropped, but overall, they're the best option for my needs....they just didn't tell me c. the long distance calls fees and some calls east of Idaho ended up being .20/min. so my bill was over $250. *%*%&%&$*$(:mad: Now I pay $5 for unlimited long distance.

    My sister is Verizon, and "IN" so all my calls to her and her family are free. :)

    I used Cingular for years, in fact my company phone is still Cingular. Their reception is pretty good around here, not too many dropped calls, etc. We decided to switch our personal phone to Verizon about 2 weeks ago because of the consumer report article that said it was best carrier in the US on reception.


    Well, we haven't been thrilled with the recpetion so far, especially inside of buildings. I've gone back to the Verizon store (great customer service BTW) and they did something to the phone. Unfortunately, it hasn't helped. We have 2 more weeks on the 30 day free trial (which I really like - no termination fee if cancelled within 30 days of start). At this point we are really leaning toward going back to Cingular.

The phones I am seeing out these days is really making me to want to hang on it to it for as long as possible, upgrading phones are getting too expensive. Dude in my class just got this new phone, has a keyboard and everything, touch screen, the works, $450.....getting insane.

    I have a RazR phone also with Verizon. Everyone is constantly griping about this phone, I agree, but mine gives me no problems. I swear, i will use this phone until it either falls apart or gets dropped in the water trough or something :)

    I had Sprint and Einstein in the past and didn't like either of them. I've been with Cingular/AT&T for 4 years now without a single complaint.

    We are actually heading to AT&T right now because Randy's phone was stolen from his car so I'll let you know how it goes. We've never had to have replacements from lost/broken phones before. I'm interested to see how what we have to pay.

    I've got cingular/att right now, but my contract is up in Jan or Feb-ish and I think I'm giong to get rid of them. I don't have any problem with the service (no dropped calls, etc.) but the money is the problem for me. I was with US Cellular for a short time, and my mom wanted me to change b/c she had just gotten Cingular and then we could use the cell to cell thing. But Cingular has been consistantly higher priced, and I liked the sevice I had with US Cellular.

    Ah, I also lost my phone a few weeks ago, and the cheapest phone I could find with Cingular was $200!! I almost died! I just want something to use to call people, and text some times....I don't want all the other stuff. Cingular isn't even makeing phones anymore that don't have all of that. I don't know about the other companies, but I wasn't real thrilled...
