verizon and cingular are the best that i have known of, i have sprint and it sucks majorly dont EVER get it
Imagine:



To stand on top of the highest cliff.

To feel the wind tearing at my clothes, the elements.

Looking down into oblivion and voidness.

The ground far, far away as it seems from here, but in reality only a couple of seconds away.

Standing there.

Feeling a decision in a prefabricated existence.



To draw the final breath,

To make that little step,

To know, that for once a decision was made,

To feel one foot above the abyss,

To think for a split second you can float in the air

To feel losing balance,

To fall,

To feel the cold wind violently caress you,

To see the ground coming closer,

Then to doubt

To wish yourself back to the top of the peak

the one that you are pacing away from.

Only to perish, knowing you cannot turn back

Why don't you like Sprint?
"There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace."

You've obviously never been on a military installation and tried to use a Sprint cell phone. The things literally stop working as soon as you cross the gate. :P



Verizon is supposed to be decent, but you should check and see who works well in the area you're going to be using the phone in.

Friend,



It all depends on what company has the most towers in your local area, I personally use Cingular, and it works great in the area I live in. I have also used SunCom Or AT&T Wireless, It didn't work quite as well as cingular in my area, just look at the websites for the companies that provide service in your area and see what fits you best :-)

Actually, they do work, very well. My SprintPCS phone has never stopped working at Airforce bases in California, Arizona, Utah, Nevada, etc...

I just got a new plan I have verizon. I like it but the next phone Im getting is going to be Nextel. Those are the best. Get the one with the 2 way pager thing and then u can talk for as long as u want for free using the pager system. Its a bit more expensive but I think its worth it. If u choose verizon its also nice I suggest getting the unlimited texts its fun and u don't use ur min.

T-Mobile..



Pros.

- You don't roam.

- Incoming Text Messaging is free [unlike other]

- Its already GSM [where all the other networks are going to]

- Probably best service [where it exists]



Cons.

- A little bit expensive on "regular" plans because it is a GSM network.

- The Phones themselves take longer to connect to the network because of the way they work...



Also, Dont go with Verizon they are the worst. I had verizon and always went over to Analog mode. They are currently being sued for offering "digital" service and its only Analog.



Cingular - okay but they are far behind on that GSM3 thing....

Cellular One[Dobson] farther behind then Cingular but their TDMA network is a beast..

AT&T - shit..

Nextel - Stuck with old technology that can't advance any further, expect them to go under when GSM is universal..

Alltel - For CDMA service they are really good, which is a suprise, because CDMA has alot of shit qualities...



i could go on forever, I've had a phone from almost all the major networks and i'm sticking with T-Mobile...

Why don't you like Sprint? [/b][/quote]

maybe its just the state i am in, actually thats probibly it. my phone is sprint and it works in every state BUT mine. i hate it, piece of junk. the phone is beautiful, top of the line and great to look at but as far as service no one can hear me and its just crap. other in diff. states may think so but our towers around here suck.

Where do you live? I'm just wondering cuz I can check the tower maps and such... I'd say personally, Sprint Sucks because they use shit technology to provide the service... Its something like CDMA2000 or something, and they use specially made phones.. Their signals expand in little [literally] microcell pockets... Where other services have towers every 50 miles or more, Sprint has one every 15 because the signal strength is weak..

You sure? The buddy I came to Luke with had to cancel his Sprint PCS service because it would barely work on base. He'd have to be outside in an open area with no buildings to get any signal strength.



hehe, Sprint likes to sell their phones to trainees just graduating Basic. They find out in a few days they have to be outside to get a decently clear call.
