I had AT&T and it was great. Ever since they changed to Cingular I have the worst possible service. Who are good and who should I stay away from?

Tough to say...it depends a lot on what works good where you need it to work. Verizon might be the best for 1 person, but work horrible for you....and the same with other carriers. Check out our personal coverage check http://www.t-mobile.com/coverage/?class=coverage , which gives a pretty good representation of the service you might get in certain areas. If you have any questions, let me know.

I had AT&T and honestly my signal strength changed with the phones I had.

Sieman SL56 slider to Nokia 3650 my service got better.

Nextel is the clearest cell phone I have heard in terms of sound quality.

It all depends where you live and your coverage area.

I haven't heard anyone say that they are totally happy with their service from any provider. They all sux in their own way.

I have Cingular and I am reasonably happy. Sometimes my calls get dropped though [Mad]

Nextel sucks outside of major cities. If I go to the bay I have no issues clear recepetion. In Sac I am lucky to even get signal or calls. I get more voicemails then I do calls.

I have verizon and i love it. no drop calls, great reception, etc etc. [Big Grin]
verizon's phones sucks though.. [Mad]

no one has mentioned it yet but go down and get a few services, by LAW you have 14 days to return the phone (in like new condition) and cancel the contract. so pick a few up and decide what you like best then return the others. like what other people are saying 1 service might be great for me but suck for you. so try them all!

I have worked for Verizon for 6 years and I have to admit, though our service is the best in the nation, we are the last company to get the best phones. But check out our new lineup for the holiday season. There are some cool phones on the way. If any of you need to sign up with Verizon in or around San Francisco, give me a call.
