anyone w/verizon?

Verizon and Sprint Suck. Old technology (CDMA) Code Division Multiple Access. Sprint piggybacks off of Verizon anyway. They also use Analog, and both technologies are old, and unprecise. Thus your handset is trying to find signal, and ends up finding it in the form of an analog tower in WI because the digital tower 2 miles from you is too weak, or the network is too busy.

Cingular and T-Mobile both use (GSM) Global System for Moblie communications. Newer technology, and the world standard. I have T-Mobile, and since they became T-Mobile (Voicestream, Aeiral) I HAVE NEVER DROPPED A CALL, and never gone over my minutes. Not to mention I have access to every network in the nation, so there is never Roaming. Even in extreme southern Canada.

Cingular (AT&T) used to use, and I'm not sure if they still do, TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) This technology was compatible with Analog service, so they used it on their Multiple mode phones. This technology is also old, and sucks ass.

I pay about $65 a month after taxes for 1200 Daytime, UNLTD Nights and Weekends 8pm, UNLTD text messages, Free Nationwide Roaming, and Long Distance.

Only catch: It's an ALL digital network. Some Rural areas will not be covered.

I've had AT&T using a Nokia and Panasonic, Verizon with a Motorola, Midwest Wireless with a Nokia, and Aieral and Voicestream/T-Moble with a Nokia and Motorola. I love T-Mobile

I always used to tell people, if they spend 98% of their time in the city, go with T-Mobile.
