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 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.

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.

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. |

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?

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.

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.

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.

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) Quote:

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. |

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.

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. |

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.

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.

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). |

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

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.
