Which cell phone service is the best?

[KSBama]

I wanted to get some input from you guys on which cell service that you think is the best.

I have been with nextel for the past year and I have not been happy with the service. It always seems like I am out of range for my phone to pick up.

I have narrowed it down between cingular and verizon. I would like to have the rollover minutes. and be able to talk to other family members that have the same service for free. I don't know if either one of these have that, but I would appreciate any feedback. Oh yeah, which one has a good family plan?

TIA

You might want to check Verizon out...I'm on a nationwide 500 min/month plan w/them and have been since last July. I have been very happy with it, and have had very few overage charges w/ them due to roaming or over limit minute(just one month, and only a couple of bucks). Plus, they let me pay my bill online, which is convenient for me. No rollover minutes though.....but, remember, on a rollover plan you are usually limited to the AMOUNT of minutes that you can roll over....

I've had Sprint for about 3 years and never had any troubles. In some rural areas I don't have service, but it's rare.

I have been with Verizon for about eight
years. I am very happy with them. I get
500 minutes for $39.

My brother had Verizon and then switched to
Sprint, said he liked Verizon better as far
as reception, but Verizon could not match
the deal he got on minutes. He is a sales
rep.

We had ATT Wireless and it sucked. We've been on Cingular for several months and love it.

Now they are both 'one'. Can we say largest wireless company in U.S.? Sorry Verizon.

Yeah...but it's still ATT for a while. Their reception was horrible.

Cingular is much better.

I have Verizon and have been happy with them. I don't have many areas where I get NS (no service). I'm thinking about switching to T-Mobile though because I can get more minutes for less money than I am paying for with Verizon. I really hate to have to buy a new phone though.

I have NOT been very happy with my Alltel service.

I've had Spring for 2 1/2 years with no problem. I pay my bill over the phone. However, it's just for me, and I'm not on the road, only around here in "B"ham, so that's all I can tell ya.

I have been with Verizon for several years and I am very happy with them. I hate my stupid phone though. The LG VX4400...stay away from that one.

Verizon has good rates (not the best)...although their coverage area seems to be the best. I got nationwide and love it.
