Help me pick: Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile or...

Verizon works all the places I need it, and I like the options on my plan... ymmv

Cingular is the devil.

If you really want to know how good Verizon works where you'll be, I can ask Eric to check it out. Around here it's the best company hands down, but I know that CS varies from place to place. He'll be honest- he's not a salesman.

Good to know, my Verizon contract will be up by the middle of July and I was thinking of switching. I had not considered t-mobile, but will look into them as well.

I have Cingular and have never had a problem with them. Now, AT&T, that's a different story. They sucked. And I think they merged sometime, so screw Cingular and go Verizon. I know a lot of people who are happy with them.

I've been happy with Verizon, but my usage is mainly in the Upstate/NYC area.

We've had Sprint for a long time now too (at least 5 years, probably closer to 7-8) and although we have spotty coverage *inside* our house(s it was like this at the old house too) sometimes, I really have nothing to complain about their customer service.

My friend has Verizon (and WB is right, it's the best in the area here) and has never had an issue with their customer service either. It might just come down to which company has the best plans and phones for your needs.
