IBTP.
 ETA: Cingular blows. They have the worst complaint rate in the industry and seem to base their customer service philosopy on lying to their customers. |

Cingulars customer service does suck ill admit that my phones price dropped shortly after I bought it and they promised to refund me the price difference. It took about 8 calls to finally get the refund. But when you are not dealing with the customer service they are fine. I use cingular because they have a very cheap pay as you go plan, with how little I use it I never needed anywhere near the amount of minutes you get with a contract service. $9/month ($27 every 3 months really) is all I pay. |

I like Verizon. Well..."Like" is a pretty strong word...I guess I don't hate Verizon, as much as I hate the others.

Cingular is good if you never get too far away from major cities and don't need reception all the time. I have them and am just waiting out my contract instead of arguing with them to get out of it. They lie to their customers, tell you shit like "Oh, well they are putting up towers in that area very soon." That didn't happen to me, but I have heard it lots of times. They also use their employees as reviews for advertisements.

Verizon is the best but they either limit or charge to use cool phone features (like OBEX over Bluetooth)

Here's been my experience:
Verizon: CS is not bad. Not very flexible on plans. Signals sucks ass where I live and have lived. Sprint: CS is awfull. On hold forever and they seem to love transferring you. Lots of drop calls. T-Mobile: Never had their service Cingular: Best signal. Could be attributed to the GSM phone. But I can use my phone even in elevators. CS is OK can't complain. Very flexible on phone plans. VM goes out more than I would like though. Seems VM goes down 2X a yr. |

T Mobile has both the most minutes I can get for my money, and their customer service hasn't left me wanting to burn the fucking corporate HQ down unlike a few of my previous carriers.
Works most everywhere, too. SG |

I have nextel. Service is spotty and the plans are too pricey. Problem is they seem to be the best thing going around my neck of the woods currently. I tried Cingular. It was terrible here. I never could get a strong signal and I would agree with others that their customer service sucks.

Used Sprint for over 2 years with no problems. Great reception everywhere I took it. Customer service was well above average.
Went to Cell One for another 2+ years, they were so so. Reception was average in most places. Found errors on 3 statements in that time frame. Customer service was average to slightly above average. Been with Cingular now for a few months, so far so good. Reception is fine, customer service so far is fine. Verizon has substandard reception in Oklahoma. Edit - Cingular will let you pay an additional $7 per month to have your night time period from 7pm to 7am (as opposed to 9pm to 6am). |

if you dont call in ALOT cingular is great. But the second you have a problem or start calling in ...its over. I have had them for 6 years, I have called in once and it was a PITA. My friends have verizon and love them.
I work for cingular, I gave my vote for verizon. |

Cingular for my area. Not crazy about their customer service, but their coverage and signal availability has no equal around these parts in my experience..............

I have Verizont Wireless. I've only had 3 dropped calls and they seem to be in the same area. I'm normally traveling all around Philadelphia and back up to my home. Haven't had any dropped calls in Philly (yet).

I use Verizon all over the US and it has fairly consistent service all over. I tried a different one once that wouldn't work worth shit in my hometown.
Consistent reliable service first, plans, packages, and prices second......unless you just like to carry a nicely priced turd for looks. I prefer to not have the cellphone leash, but at least is is completely free for me.  I also have a free Verizon wireless air-card in my laptop. Although not the fastest, the service areas have been nothing short of amazing. |

I used them for a few years, with zero problems. The reason I chose Cingular for this time was because I was back and forth across the state a lot. The same plan with US Cellular was 20 bucks a month more, and that was just for the state, with Cingular it was national. When this plan is over with in a few months, its back to US Cellular. |

I have Verizon and I'm happy. We got Nextel phones at work (I drive a truck), and it doesn't have the coverage of the Verizon phone. I was going to get rid of my Verizon phone and just use the Nextel, but it just doesn't work anywhere.

If you live in western WA ( King - Snoho Co area ) and you ditch Verizon for Cingular .... you are going to be real unhappy w/ their shit service & reception. I am speaking from 1st hand experience. |
