Default Which Cell Phone Service is best?

Right now, I have two options. One, go with Verizon, Two, go with Sprint. Reasons why? Sprint has the camera phones, and verizon has better minute plans for your buck. Here in Indiana, Sprint offers for $35 bucks - 350 anytime - 1000 night/weekend. At Verizon $40 bucks get's you 500 anytime - Unlimited night/weekend and 1000 mobile to mobile. I really want the camera phone, or at least a flip phone with color. Verizon's phones are really expensive compared to Verizon. Besides that, which has a better "clearer" service?

To answer your question, I have found AT&T has the best coverage and programs for me.

AT&T = Expensive for too little minutes.


Also I had Cingular and it sucked. I ain't going back.

It really depends on your area. Generally, Sprint is one of the worst companies to go with. They usually have the poorest coverage, and all companies now have at least one camera phone. Don't pick your service because of a specific phone or plan. Try to find someone with a verizon (or whatever service you are considering) cell phone and ask them if they get good coverage. Even if you had the best phone in the world along with the best plan, you're going to hate your phone if you never get reception.

And AT&T = Expensive for too little minutes? For $39.99 I get 600 anytime minutes, unlimited night/weekend, and nationwide L/D.

Verizon's coverage in Indiana is very good, Sprint's is so-so.

If you want a phone for features, go with Sprint. If you want a phone to make phone calls with, don't go with Sprint. I used one for three years and dropped calls daily. A few months ago I got Nextel and have only dropped one call since.

i recently switched to verizon from sprint. the difference was night and day. i used to get dropped calls all the time with sprint. now, with verizon, i sometimes can even make calls in the subway! i would highly recommend verizon. everyone that i know with sprint says that they hate it...

haha.. i guess i should chime in. I work for Verizon and i can tell you, we probably have the best service, by reception wise, as well as general customer service. While i can't say it in every area, i am vouch for the east coast.

That being said, Verizon does have a camera phone. It is the LGVX6000. If you look at the specs, it is a 640x480 picture capture. The price is $229 or 199. and they have a $50 mail in rebate. If you are interested, i might be able to get you a deal. I work in the business department, and i might be able to pull some leverage. Let me know.. PM me....
