not sure AT&T had great phones with great speakers and verizon had the peel cover phones, at&t service i heard sucked and verizon's wasn't that bad. But it might have changed, my information is from about a year ago. Do You have a Phone or are you going for a phone plan?

Indeed, cell phones are evil, they overcharge you, and are a waste of money. EDIT: and during the times you can actually USE IT without getting charged 2.50 a minute, they shoot CANCER INTO YOUR BRAIN! YAY!

They all hate customers... I always want to cry when I have to call Cingular... They try, but they are so underpaid that they don't care that you hate them.

If you have a newer phone you are using GSM, and there is not multiple GSM networks, so it whoever you use you are using the same network, so reception really isn't different between companies. The phone you have makes the largest difference in signal. If you look up the FCC spec papers you can see the strength on phones.

I don't get a signal too easily for too long in my room, so Verizon can go suck a nut. Dunno 'bout AT&T though.

Cell phones for who got confused. Sry bout that.


We looked at Nextel in the mall the other day, plans and shit look pretty good, plus its got Nascar covers.....and yall should know how much i fuckin love nascar.

But its between AT&T and Verizon. AT&T just started their nights start at 7. Virizon may be able to work clearer up here where all phones suck ass. Its hard to tell.

Yes phones can get annoying, you see a person walk by talking, you ask what, he turns his head and you can see him holding a cellphone. I'm gettin cell phone not for that, since me and mom share the plan, i got only 13 minutes a day at my disposal (we plan to get 800 minutes a month and we split that for both of us), so i dont plan to talk that much, much less give alot of people my cell number. Yet besides people talking on them, I bet if i gave you a phone you wouldn't mind, prices maybe, but you'd use it more than you use the computer (which is nearly impossible.

I have AT&T and they are alright. They have good plans but in the oddest places you get shit for signal, and then in places you wouldn't expect a signal you get all 4 bars. I have an NEC525 AT&T phone, it kicks so much ass it's not funny.

Bahh, you people who hate cellphones are crazy.

I have a work cellphone, an emergency pager, and my own cell phone.

What ever service offers you the best rate right now, Lock it in with a phone you like, and then when it ends look at other companys.
