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.

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.

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.
