    I have a LG VX-8000 w/ EV-DO, I'm positive that cell one has nothing that can touch it.

    Edit: I just looked at cell one's website, the most advanced phone they have is a Kyocera 7135 which is a PDA unit.

    The most advanced non-pda handset is a Motorola V810...

    I don't see how they have such pimp phones? Cell one uses CDMA technology, with roaming agreements with sprint and verizon. You will get the same sort of roaming reliablity with any of them as they all "share" towers via lease agreements.

      I have to agree with amicheze that there some problems with sprint. When i went to bismark, my sprint phone had no signal for half the trip, but my friend's phone (who also has sprint) had a signal the entire way. I am looking to ditch sprint after my contract is up, and go to verizon, because i heard they have better coverage.

        My UNICEL has worked great. You can tack on long distance for like $5/month.

        Anyone provider is gonna suck in one way or another, just pick how bad you want to get screwed.

          I couldn't add on long distance for less then $15 a month, and then it was only long distance to the 3 state area 😞 They said you deal was a promotion that ended xmas of last year

            I am going to have to say the new Sprint phones are good. My text messaging is a lot faster now. My signal stregnth is always good (even at the lakes). My plan is pretty sweet also 6oo any time minutes, free long distance, anything after 6 pm is free plus free weekends. I get all this for 46.00. I have been with sprint for 3 years and have no major complaints besides text messaging, but that has gotten better.

              First phone=Verizon
              Verizon sucked

              Next phone=Rover from Unicel
              Don't think they offer it anymore, but it rocked just as Nick said. We could use our phones all across the country and latch on to any digital signal. I never got one roaming charge. Used it all the way from Florida, Ohio, etc. Best experience yet.

              Next=Cell one
              Wow, the worst service ever, biggest BS plan unless you live in a cow pasture in the middle of ND. Just ended my service and switched to Sprint. Hated it soo bad that I didn't care about the $200 contract cancellation fee.

              Current=Sprint
              Awesome so far. Did a family share plan with my brother, plus we both get discounts through work. He has had Sprint for 3-4 years and still likes it a lot.

              Basically, as you can tell it all comes down to personal preference. Most of all, where are you going to use your phone, how much traveling you are going to do, etc. Nothing beats the Rover plan if they are still offering it!! The only problem I had with it was when I was out at the lakes or out in the middle of nowhere in ND where there wasn't a digital tower.

              My opinion, get Sprint if they no longer offer Rover..

                nate, when you had rover and said that you were never charged for roaming, are you saying that when you were in florida and called people in fargo that it didn't cost you anything extra?

                edit: extra meaning more than the 33 bux a month for the unlimted local plan.

                    Mine was the same worked all the way back frim Cali and all the way to Ohio except for a period of 30 miles and i was never billed any roaming either. I added 500 min long distance to my plan for an extra $5. My bill has never been over $53.

                        I have had verizon for over 6 yrs and I really like them. If or when I ever have any problems they are so nice and helpful. And if its their fault they usually will throw something extra in for the any trouble caused. like one time they charged me for some downloads that I didnt even download, So because of the inconvience they gave me some free downloads. My whole family uses verizon. which is nice because its free to talk to other verizon customers. well good luck.

                            Haha go for rover if you want, they raped me, and I left.

                            You will get charged for roaming and your bill will be much higher then 32.95. Furthermore, you can't get the long distance anymore...

                            Good luck w/ Unicel.

                              when i bought my phone from sprint, i was supposed to get a $100 rebate. i lost the form and went there to get a new one.. but the dates on the rebate form werent the same as the ones on the reciept.. so when i sent it in.. they wouldnt give it to me. i went to the store and got everything straightened out.. and 2 weeks later i got a check for $150 for the inconvienence.

                                    i have Nextel an it's signal strength isn't that bad.
