My contract with Verizon is over in 2 weeks so I'm looking for new plans. What plans do you guys use and are you satisfied? I'm going towards T-Mobile or ATT (now Cingular). Thanks for your input.

ATT was the best service i had overall..Tmobile was like not having a cell phone at all cause there was never any signal..Nextel is alright it has it's moments of dropped calls but the two way feature is really useful.

75% of my friends have Nextel and 75% of the time they are out of range.

well, verizon has the best coverage (over 97% of america). T-mobile has the cheapest plans but the worst coverage. Cingular GSM is supposedly really good now. Sprint, is just like verizon, they have the same network, and use verizon towers for their roaming. So if you happy with Verizon i would say stick with verizon. Plus with Verizon, you'll be getting signal in the Metro all the time, unlike other companies... its also faster and more reliable than all the other services. Nextel, i don't know much about, but from what ive heard is rather expensive and is better for business use. Also with Verizon, if you know anyone else that has Verizon Wireless, with the IN calling you can call any Verizon Wireless Customer for free(does not take up any minutes). pm me if you got any questions.
