who is your cell phone provider? and do you enjoy their business?

[Ron's Brother]

Verizon. I love their coverage and price. The cell phone I have gets reception all over the place. BUT, if you have a problem.. their customer service is not good at all.

T Moble.

The T-Moble web is great.
1000 texts for 5 bucks.

The service is very good.

The coverage has a few blips here and there but I am happy with it.

Free phone every few years as long as you re-up with them.

Sprint has great coverage in big cities and suburbs, but it's pretty lousy in remote areas. The guys on tour that had T-Mobile seemed to have service everywhere, verizon came in second, and sprint dead last...

however, their prices are great, and their customer service is also excellent. aside from not being able to make calls from a mountain top, I have very little issue with them.

You think??? I seem to have major problems with getting reception in alot of places. Like Arlington, Marblehead, Swampscott, Rte 93 between Stoneham and Boston, depending on the day, my driveway.

Also, as of recent, the have been dropping alot of my calls, and alot of areas suddenly become "roaming" when I try to make a call.

That said, I have yet to make a move to a different company as a).my most frequently called people are all Sprint, and b). I have no contract, and I like that feeling of freedom.

Oh, man-my most recent contract with Sprint expires at the end of August, and I have been counting the days since winter! I've had them for years, and mostly, I liked them, till I moved to Waltham, on top of a hill, and pretty much stopped being able to make a call in my apartment without dropping it. I have to sit outside or in my car to make an important call (no landline). Most places, and driving, are generally fine, but still. My roommate has Verizon, and she has zero problems-that, and the fact that many people I know have Verizon, so I can talk free, makes my next provider pretty obvious.

The only thing that makes me sad is the phone-I love that phone. In fact-and I know it's absurb-the major reason I've stuck with Sprint so long is that I love their phones, and no one else has phones like them.

I have AT&T (which began as Celluar One, then Cingular, now AT&T). I really have had no problems except that I can't get cell phone reception where I live (Beverly Farms), but then again, no one can regardless of the provider because the locals keep arguing about having or not having a tower (they didn't want one on the local branch of the library just down the street, apparenty, even though the revenue would have benefitted the city). The only thing I found annoying about Cingular was that if I needed to talk to an actual representative, I had to call during weekdays only, and during slightly extended business hours (like only until 7pm). I'm hoping that with AT&T, their service center will be 24 hours but not in India.

I have TMobile, never a problem except in one spot in my driveway in Watertown.
