Ask people you work with and live near what they use and what kind of coverage you get. Some folks like T-Mobile can give you a map of all their cell towers so you can see if it really covers your territory.

The thing to remember about Cell phone technology, is there's no such thing as 100% coverage or no dropped calls - so you want to understand what each providers limitations are for you.

So far, I can say I've been happy with T-Mobile customer service-wise, they've graciously helped me through my new phone/service learning curve.
