Who is your wireless carrier?

See Poll above, I think I have most of the US networks covered.

I use Verizon, and it must suck to have not Verizon. I never get dropped calls, I have a very nice phone ( which recently broke, and they replaced free ).

My Bill works out to 120 a month, so its a good deal.

I do miss it being just Cingular. At least they kept roll over and the pay as you go plan that acts like a real plan (free nights and weekends).

Though I'm thinking of switching to MetroPCS where for the same amount of money I could have unlimited airtime and a data plan. The 'catch' is if I wander out of the comically small coverage area it's $.49/minute. But I did some calculating about how often I have to 'recharge' the phone and I'd have to make 200 minutes of calls outside the area in order for MetroPCS to simply cost as much as AT&T, and while I do occasionally wander out into those areas, I don't think I'd hit that water mark, not to mention I wouldn't have to be so "Don't talk to me" during the weekdays.

I have Verizon Wireless too, and the only reason I have dropped calls is that my parents live out in the frickin middle of no where.

Sprint. Pretty good reception, except with florescent lights overhead. That really screws it up.

Like in a school, or hospital, or government office building, or a regular office, or...

I have Verizon.

Verizon Wireless, the only times that I have problems with dropped calls is in places where people I know with the other major carriers had the same problems...

I imagine being followed around by that smirking jackass and his Hard Hat Posse might get irritating after a while. Like, dude-I'm trying to make a phone call here, wanna give me a minute?

I believe there was a video I saw somewhere that adressed that. The Verizon people followed the poor sap into the bathroom and everything.

Heh, I like the service, can't stand the commercials...
But then I hate all commercials, regardless of what they are for.

My family uses Sprint, so I am guilty by association.

While I was in the US, I used ATT. Here in Spain, Movistar de EspaƱa does it for me.

DoCoMo. It's got a good family plan, I've got my emails, full web browser, TV, 5.2 MP camera, and my kanji reader so what's not to like?

Besides, DoCoMo still gets signals up in the mountains.

Not to mention DoCoMo has the coolest, funniest phone commercials I've seen so far.:D

Actually, there's only three or four places I really have any trouble with it.

I have Verizon and I'm pleased with it, my bill is a little over $40/mo, as I have the basic plan.

I had Cingular for a time, before it was bought out by AT&T. I really hated it. I had about 4 times as many dropped calls and dead zones than I do now.

I had cingular as well for the longest time, dropped calls all the time, and they use those stupid SIM cards.


Verizon is normally more expensive, but I never get dropped calls, and they're customer service is great.

I have Virgin Mobile, it is one of those pay as you go phones, I don't have a plan and just top up the account every 90 days. It's an excellent deal for me since I don't use my phone much.
