    AT&T and I have no complaints with the service. I've been with them since they were Cingular and have always been happy with the service and coverage.

    Verizon. They are the only ones around here that has towers off the beaten path. No complaints though.

    ATT - haven't had any problems with them other than a few dropped calls...which only seems to happen in my condo building. Will blame it on that, otherwise they've been great - had them in MN (minneapolis & near Deerwood) and Chicago

    Verizon for two reasons. 1) I have never lost a call or been without a signal in any state that I have traveled to. 2) Customer service is second to none. If I have a problem or something looks fishy on my bill it gets taken care of on the first call. I have never had to make several phone calls to get something taken care of with Verizon. I have both a Verizon phone and a Verizon wireless air card for my laptop. My employer's service is with ATT. I don't have a problem with ATT in the city (Chicago), but as soon as I go home on the weekends and head to the country I might as well leave that phone in the vehicle. Also, Verizons wirless internet blows away ATT in terms of speed.

    Just converted to Verizon from Sprint. I absolutly LOVE IT.

    We were with sprint for so long becuase of the direct connect feature, as we needed it at work. Now that Verizon has it, we changed.

    What he said. There are a bunch of providers that I can't get a signal from at home. Sprint always has a signal. At my lease too!

    Sadly...Trac-phone at the moment. It's not too bad for all the more I'm using it right now, it's saving me mucho money.

    But I can't complain about the service, I have service when the other big name users don't have service ..especially from remote places like Camp..or deep woods.

    The phone and features is just a bit lame...but it does it's primary job!

    Verizon, and its starting to piss me off at home. I live in a subdivision about 5 miles from town, but a very populated area. I can't have a 10 minute conversation with anyone without having the call dropped at least twice during that time. Watching my phone, or Jill's, the service jumps all around from 3 bars to 1 to 2 to 0.....its annoying as hell.

    But, anywhere else, it works great.

    US Cell. I had problems with AT&T. Verizion worked pretty good but I seem to get the same coverage for less money from US Cell.

    VZW, I work for them so I am biased, but they are the best around my area anyway.

    Verizon, they are the only one that I have found that maintains service in the nooks and crannies I sometimes find myself in.

    T-mobile, has been decent, I get the best reception with it out at my home so thats what I go with. Around here, Verizon has better service over all. T-mobile has been pretty good for me while on the road in Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Kansas, Wyoming and Nebraska.

    AT&T. No problems what so ever. Good customer service. I've not experienced a dropped call, unless I was driving or something and lost my signal. And, I have about the biggest data hog on the planet for a phone and am quite happy with the internet as well.

    AT & T. I've been with them since way back in Cingular days. I've been thinking of looking into Verizon because we had dead spaces here. My buddy switched to Verizon and lost a lot of the dead spaces. I have one here at the house. If my cell rings I have to run into the driveway or stand on the back porch. Then 2 weeks ago when my son was here he's walking all over the house talking to people all across the country. I said,"I thought you had AT and T. He said I do. I said well I can't sit here on the sofa and talk. You talk everywhere. He reminded me my phone was about the same age as me. He then informed me they will give you a new phone every 2 years if you ask. He said, go get a new phone,, you don't need to change providers. SO, I guess I'll try that one first. Although, I may change plans. I don't use all my minutes. I think on the last bill I had 5,500 rollover minutes saved up. LOL
