<![CDATA[Wireless phone providers]]>I'm in the market to switch cell phone providers since I have really bad luck with Verizon where I live. I do not want to go to Cell One because I had their service before and it sucked. So I'm looking for something else. What do people use here and what's good/bad and what's a good deal?

I don't have a cell phone simply because I hate all the bullshit that comes along with them from the provider. Verizon would be my choice because just about everyone I know is on it but I won't sign a contract for a cell phone plan.

On a mostly unrelated note, I love our Vonage service.

I have the ultimate plan for you. Keep your curent phone until Simplex buys you a cell phone. Its Cell One, but its free

Dont mistake that with the largest customer base...but they will get up there now that they have the largest coverage. I have been with them for 3 years...before them I was with 3 or 4 other companies, and cellone in this area is by far the best. Allthough for some reason I think it matters which cellone store you go to. I can get you an awesome deal on a kick ass phone if you want...let me know, I'll tell you where to go and let them know your coming in.

My cousin works there and I might even be able to get a deal too. See the thing with Verizon is, IF I keep it, I HAVE to buy a new phone, because this one is fucking garbage. It's a huge inconvenience for me to talk on it at home, because it drops calls all the time. Hell, I was on the phone earlier with the phone insurance place I got the phone from, and it fucking dropped that call too.

Your best bet is still going to be Verizon...

Unicel's CDMA services uses Verizon's towers

Unicel's GSM service = T-Mobile / Cingular / GSM Towers

Sprint = CDMA towers, many are shared

I guess the only option you'd really have is to go test a Sprint phone out and see if it works out for you... Sprint and Verizon have the best in the area.

GSM and iDen (nextel) suck here

Coverage is great unless your going to western north dakota. I pay 46 a month for 600 anytime minutes and I have free weeknight @ 6pm and weekend minutes. Plus with the merger of Nextel, they should get even better and provide better coverage.
