Our cell service is up in about 8 months with cingular.......and I am going to start researching other companies, but just wantd to get imput on what you all have and if your happy with them or not??
all the commericals tell you we are the best, but it is better to get imput from real people that have the services.......
thanks all......... :)
 
QT, I've had cinguar for years and love it. I have nationwide calling (no long distance charges) and rollover minutes.

thanks Kat.........ya we have the same plan and really like cingular, but I wanted to see if anyone out there compares or is better then cingular..always got to be on the lookout for bigger and better......but thanks Kat....... :D
 
I got Cingular i like it but i want one of them Nextels cause of the walky-talky but i only know one person with a Nextel.

I could almost careless if i had a cell phone right now or not, for some reasion Cingular dont have a good sig around my house anymore, and verizon around here is "can you hear me now?........what about now?...(lost sig)...damn phone!" :lol:
 
I had cingular for a few years and they started changing plans and making funny rules and they don't work well with the changing technology. For instance, upon renewing my contract for two years, they gave me a new phone, however, when I wanted to change plans, they explained that "this plan won't work with your new phone"...to get a phone that would work with the plan I wanted, I would have had to shell out phat cash for one, or renew my contract, but I couldn't do that for another eighteen months. So dropped them and went to sprint. Sprint is good, they have great coverage of large areas and along the interstates, my parents who live waaaaaaaaaaaay out, when i'm there it wont work...They also have some plans that involve coverage in a few states, so your "home calling area" includes your state and the surrounding states. They usually have big corporate discounts and deals and what they call five dollar add ons, such as unlimited text messaging or unlimited long distance or nights and weekends. I love it, to me, its beats the living snot out of cingular, even if i am a huge robby gordon fan.
 
QT, Verizon is used by Guido, and if he calls another Verizon customer from wherever, there is no charge.
DO NOT GO TO ATT cuz they have sold that business to CINGULAR!
 
Sprint is to $$$$ for me to even think about.

I dont know how my contract has not been extended, cause when i went to Dega in April i went out of my aera had a $117 phone bill, so i went and got a nationwide plan, now my phone is about to die so i got to get a new one. (they send me a new phone and i send them my old one......free)
 
I would not recommend anyone going with Nextel. Especially if you are getting Nextel for the "walkie-talkie" (direct connect)..........that is the most unreliable service I have ever had the misfortune to try to use!! :angry: I've heard Verizon has a direct connect service too.........haven't heard anything good of bad about it though. I have Cingular and I'm happy. But, then again, a phone is a phone so if it works for your needs, then keep it!!

But, Cutie likes all those new gadgets!! :D
 
I've got a Nextel and I love it. Just recently got a new Nascar Edition Nextel. Very cool, goes vroom vroom when it rings... :lol:

It has nothing to do with supporting a driver, Steph.....Just about service from a Cell company.
 
I have had Verizon for about 4 years now. Prior to that I had Alltel, I switched because Alltel's service was so bad and their customer service was even worse. I do like Verizon's "In-Network" calling plan, unlimited any time minutes to anyone else in the same plan, this saves me tons, in the last 2 weeks I have already used over 2200 "IN" minutes. I just wish Verizon would offer the plan that Altel has, unlimited any time minutes to anyone, right now I have 1600 any time minutes and free evening and weekends and I always go over. I know I talk WAY TOO MUCH. :lol: I use my cell phone for the majority of my business calls.

Not him either! :lol:
 
T-Mobile. Very good coverage regardless of where I go.

1000 anytime minutes + free nights and weekends + free long distance + free text messaging for $40/month. Sick.
 
I recommend U.S. Cellular! You can get service EVERYWHERE with U.S. Cellular.

I don't recommend Sprint, Cingular, or Nextel. These companies service SUCK! They only follow cities along the main Interstate Highways, and are only good 8-10 miles outside of those Interstate Highways outside the cities. They also SUCK in valley's.

In mountains and valleys (very common in Southern California) any service is hard pressed to be there everywhere. :) But out in the open such as the the San Jaquin Valley (where all those veggies are grown) Cingular works great. I drove from the San Fernando Valley in Southern California to Petaluma in Northern California and once I cleared the "Grapevine" on Interstate 5 I had full bars on signal 100% of the way up and back. And there just ain't any big cities along I-5 between Bakersfield (if that qualifies as a big city) and San Francisco.

Any cell service will be effected by terrain..........especially mountains.

I never said just big cities. I said CITIES along the main interstates. I got on Cingular (or AT&T still here in Ia), T-Mobile, and Nextel and they all have around the same coverage. And again they are all following the main Interstate highways.

Just got to there sites and put in Des Moines, Ia or the zip of 50315 and look at the coverage map for yourself. Its not just Ia either. Look at other states..its the same way.
