I've had Sprint, Verizon, and Cingular.

Sprint sucked, Verizon wasn't bad, Cingular has been my best one so far. Always have service, it never drops, and roll-over minutes are nice.

It really comes down to your area. No matter what people on this board say, unless they live next door to you, no one can say which is better or worse in your area.

If you're thinking of leaving only because of the hidden charges and taxes, that comes with every one of them. Just stick with Verizon if you get good service.

 

Pick the deal you like best and ask about a short term cancellation policy in case you don't have good reception in your area. I had to do this with Sprint and T-Mobile since neither would work in my house. They both gave me all my money back, Sprint with a little arguing. Currently happy with Cingular.

 

In the 4 years ive had Verizon, this is the worse year with the bills.

I get great reception, its just a shame they tack on money here and there and their customer service at the stores is the worse.

Anyway, my plan is up this month. Im going to just pay monthly now and not sign for another year untill I figure out what I want.
