What cellphone provider are you with?
 
I am just intrested to see what provider people are going with, what type of phone they have, and weather they like what they are getting or not.

Personally I am with Telus, and have an LG6070, and I love the service and my plan which is 175 mins for 19.99

I'm on AT&T. I've been with them for a few years now and I can't say that I like their service, I've just been tied to them because of stupid contracts. I have a Sony Ericsson T616. The phone has a lot of great features but the reception sucks on the phone. I heard that was a problem with the phone itself that was later addressed in newer models of the phone. I'm looking into upgrading but I'm sure that will come with another contract of some sort. :|

I am with Verizon, have been since I've had a cell. I have the LG VX 4400. Normally Verizon has exceptional service, but lately I have been having shit for service, I think it is time for a new phone.

I am using sprint and although a lot of people complain about the service i rarely have a problem with it. Customer service is an entriely different story. The phone I am using is the Sanyo RL-7300. I get a lot of compliments on the phone but the only reason I bought it was because it had a rubber edging and my last phone broke from dropping it one too many times. It doesnt have a camera, which is available on the next model up, but it would have been $20/month to be able to send photos anyway. Overall I give Sprint a 4/5 losing one point for customer service.

sixate 10-05-2004 05:09 PM

Recently changed to AT&T Wireless, and got a Sony Ericsson T637. I love the phone and have no problems at all with AT&T. I would suggest that anyone getting a camera phone get a phone that has Bluetooth so you don't end up paying out the ass to get the pics onto your PC or someone else's PC.

Jeff 10-05-2004 05:10 PM

US Cellular for the last 4 years. Never had a problem with them.

radioguy 10-05-2004 05:19 PM

at&t for a couple of years now, just upgraded to a color 3360 phone. i think that's the one they gave away free. excellent coverage, decent customer service.

cj2112 10-05-2004 05:23 PM

US Cellular, I've got a LG VX4400. I have no complaints to speak of, and will sign another 2 year contract when this one is up.

MikeyChalupa 10-05-2004 05:53 PM

Verizon Wireless on a Kyocera KX414. No problems so far. Plus since I have their regular home service and long distance, I get $10 a month off their DSL package. Not bad.

I don't currently own a cell phone or have a provider, but if I ever get one, I intend to go with Verizon and a Audiovox CDM9900 (if it's out yet).

There have been a few times in the last month I've considered getting a cellular plan, but then I spread it out over a year and realize I would be spending in excess of $500 a year on it, and that turns me off.

ratbastid 10-05-2004 06:36 PM

Sprint PCS. For all the complaints you hear about their customer service, I've really never had a problem. I have an LG 5350, which is a piece of crap, and I'm dying to replace it. The day the Treo 650 comes out!

StormBerlin 10-05-2004 07:15 PM

I have sprint and I dont have a problem with them. I revently purchased the Sanyo 8200. it's a cute little phone. Durable too.

I've been with them for 5 years now, and I too could not be happier with them. Unless I can get a RAZR_V3 for a reasonable price, I will stick with them for much longer.

440sixpack 10-06-2004 10:14 AM

Cingular for a few years, current phone is a Nokia 6340i. Been fairly happy with them although coverage is spotty in a few areas that it should be solid. I've been wondering if all the claims of Verizon having the best coverage are true, but then some people I know said they used to have Verizon and the coverage sucked, so who knows?

flooty333 10-10-2004 07:02 PM

Been with Tmobile now for a few years (back when it used to be called Voicestream).
Have been liking it so far. It seems their service gets better each year. And their plans are the best (most for your $).

crewsor 10-10-2004 07:26 PM

Verizon for personal use. Can't be beat for coverage and service IMO. Nextel for work. Coverage and service both suck. Two way feature is nice, but lacks coverage, and I'm in and around a big city mostly,( Balto.) but since work pays, work decides.

Zoz 10-10-2004 07:37 PM

Treo 600 with Sprint PCS & Vision.. I LOVE it... Would get it again for twice the price... .

1slOwCD8 10-10-2004 07:42 PM

Im with cingular and have the sony ericsson t616. its pretty cool i guess, except the camera quality kinda sucks.

thefictionweliv 10-10-2004 09:36 PM

Sprint PCS has awsome customer service in my experience, their late fees are very lenient compared to other services. They have pretty good phones though not the more advanced Nokia models. Sprint plans are quite good as well, 7pm nights are very convenient.

MontanaXVI 10-11-2004 10:20 AM

had Sprint for about a year and a half (before contracts were cool or something with providers to lock you down) had terrible recpetion all over the city and it just sounded like absolute shit. Got a Nextel i1000 plus and been with them for the last 4 years or so. Currently I have a Motorola i830 and it is pretty cool, small and lightweight too. Reception has been great with Nextel and the 2-way function is where it's at too.

No major complaints other than I had to do a 2 year contract to get the new phone, plus they wanna put you on a new 1 year everytime you want to change your plan.

ShaniFaye 10-11-2004 10:51 AM

Im with Cingular...been with them since they bought out who I was with before them...I love them....I've never had a problem with their coverage (unless I've been DEEP in the mountains...and even then Dave who's with Verizon doesnt have a signal either) which is fine because we go to get away from the phones lol I've had my same cell phone number since 1993 so I've had a cell phone for awhile...at the moment I cant for the life of me remember whom cingular bought out at the moment...

The phone I use is a Nokia 3595 with the following features (and my ringtone is the theme to Braveheart WHAT ELSE lol)

I'm with Fido. Apparently Telus and Rogers want to buy it... what cheap people just so that they get less competition, so cheap. Oh well, I can still keep my cell phone plan.

I'm not with any like 2 year contracts... I just buy the phone switch sim cards... right now I'm still with my crappy t68i that barely connects to the network.

phredgreen 10-11-2004 02:28 PM

the wife and i are both on sprint, and we both use sanyo 4920s. i love the fact that my "home area" is just about anywhere in the country, as i travel quite a bit for work. there are a few places where i receive crappy reception, but i'll blame that on the structures i'm in, not the area. hotels are built like bunkers, so signal dosen't always make it in.

Missy 10-11-2004 04:31 PM

I have Verizon. It seems to work great pretty much everywhere I go, and I travel a lot.

On a side note, does anyone think camera phones are stupid? I went to see Pearl Jam the other week and the whole place was lighted up with people trying to take pictures with thier phones.

minoli 10-12-2004 08:56 AM

Have you guys ever heard of a company called excel www.excel.com of course you havent. they dont advertise. its wierd. a friend was telling me they recruit college students and those students tell others and so on, and the company grows. but the people who get recruted make crazy comissions!!!

nospam 10-12-2004 11:18 AM

I have Verizon and love it. Never a dropped call and I always have service when I travel.

I have several friend that have Sprint PCS and hate it.
I have some other friends that have T Mobile and love it.

Halx 10-12-2004 11:54 AM

I'm on AT&T GSM, but I use the Cingular GSM network whenever I can because it gets a lot better reception and they're now the same company, so I dont get charged for roaming.

I do miss Verizon, though.
DO NOT go through sprint.

Blackthorn 10-12-2004 12:21 PM

Sprunt sucks.

Currently using AT&T Wireless (so Cingluar at times also). It's good. Have heard no complaints regarding Verizon.

Sprunt sucks. ;)

brasil98 10-27-2004 11:19 AM

I have tmobile and use their 7100t from RIM. I love that it has bluetooth and I can receive my e-mails on it. It is Quad GSM and GPRS. You can even access your IM clients from there.

dksuddeth 10-27-2004 01:06 PM

Using verizon (since I'm working for them) and have the LG VX-6000 for my wife and I.

quicksteal 10-27-2004 01:32 PM

I've got Verizon as well, Kyocera KX414 phone. Their coverage is really good, it's worked for me everywhere but the center of Kentucky. If I had a choice though, I'd change to T-Mobile just because it's so popular where I live, that I would get a lot more mobile-to-mobile calls. Verizon's second, and they had the most subscribers overall until Cingular bought AT&T Wireless the other day. The ones that I've heard bad things about have been Cingular and Nextel, for various reasons. I would recommend Verizon or T-Mobile, whichever is most popular in your area.

aerozeppelin 10-27-2004 06:06 PM

I'm with Tmobile, pretty good overall. Solid coverage, decent value plan wise. I use the Samsung E715, and I'm very happywith it. It's a shame that Tmobile got rid of free internet, but its only $5 a month for unlimited internet now, which isn't bad.

One note, if your thinking about Verizon know that they limit (actually, ban) downloads from third party sites, so you can't go downloading pictures or ringtones from sites like 3gupload, etc.... and you have to buy them from Verizon instead.

My friends recommend Cingular, and I'm considering a switch to them (for phone reasons, not because I'm unhappy with Tmobile in any way).

Private Public 10-27-2004 08:58 PM

ATT screwed me over so I jumped to cingular and now they are the same.

minoli 10-28-2004 06:19 PM

same with me. i turned to ATT to escape cingular and now... cingular found me again

bendsley 10-29-2004 01:48 PM

Sprint PCS, for both work and personal phones. Haven't had issues with them much at all. Signal seems to be pretty good too.

How many bars do you have? (att)

DDDDave 10-31-2004 07:05 PM

Treo 600 with T-Mo. Love the phone and the service is good. The coverage seems to get better all the time.

Had ATT for years. They definitely have the best nationwide coverage. They were not offering the Treo when I was ready to buy one so I tried T-Mo and have been happy with them. They were also able to switch my number over from ATT in like two hours.

Tophat665 10-31-2004 08:50 PM

(Showing my age: I read cellophane provider and wondered WTF?)

iamii 10-31-2004 09:25 PM

I am with Tmobile, and looking to maybe extend my contract with them. I have had very few probelms with them, and really like them because of their willingness to unlock cell phones for you.

lk_3000 10-31-2004 09:52 PM

verizon. most people i know have it so i went with it.

JSwiss 11-02-2004 07:27 PM

Cingular, the rollover minutes were too good to resist. Other than that I have very little good to say about them. We'll see how they turn out now that they bought out At&t
