Help me pick: Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile or... - Page 5

Another (mostly) happy Sprint customer. I've had a couple of minor issues with their customer service but nothing too serious. And I have great coverage at the park unless I'm inside some of the buildings. I'm not one to talk on a phone inside an attraction though, so it hasn't been a problem.

My cell phone took a flying leap onto the cement of the Irvine Spectrum parking structure last night. The display is dead. I can make and receive calls if I know the number.

The time has come for me to decide who I want to go to.

Sprint or Verizon. I am going tonight, and am bumping this up for any last minute feedback.

T-Mobile. I LOVE them.

I ended up with T-Mobile. Their plans were by far the best.

But. My service at home is very very low. I'll have to see over the next few days how it goes.

I am tempted by T-Mobile, but need to test them for coverage in my area. Lots of minutes ain't worth squat if you can't use them!

Right. I'm noticing the bars go up and down depending where I am sitting. I have to keep it in perspective of what kind of service I had before and only compare it against that. Lisa says T-Mobile is great at DL, so I have that covered. Now I need to go in areas I normally travel in. They have a coverage map down to the address. It's about what I expected.

I am also trying to figure out how to get all of my images off my old phone. I think I need to find a cable for it.

According to their coverage site, D-Land is about 1/3 split between A, B, and C coverage. But that doesn't mean a lot. The real test is with a real phone. I am going to find a loal store to see if I can secure a test phone.

I've had no problems with my T-Mobile at Disneyland. I've even used my phone inside of IASW. (Didn't talk, of course - just opened the call so my mom could "virtually ride" by hearing the music. It's her favorite.)

Overall, I've had very few places drop, and if they do, it's for a matter of a few feet.

T-Mobile is gone. I had no service at home and I couldn't live with that. On Monday they will be cancelled.

I signed up for Sprint. I know they work here. Not too sure about the phone I got though. We'll see.

Okay - I've made a strong step in the direction of T-Mobile. Tonight we stopped at the T-Mobile store and bought a phone. The ONLY reason I did is that they have a 30-day return policy (though it may be governmentally mandated - I don't know). If I am not happy with the phone/service, I can return it in the next 30 days and only pay the prorated portion of the bill. So far, it works at Brea Mall and home.

If it's a keeper, Susan gets the Pink Razr we bought tonight, and I'll be getting their MDA.
