I swear I could climb a fucking USC tower and it'd still be roaming.... Got a new blackberry and I <3 US Cellular again.
I honestly and truly do not understand everyones complaint about the 6255i. Mine is my favorite phone ever.

When I worked for Ntelos, everyone had problems with their Ntelos branded 6255i's. The hinges would break regularly, but they were good other than that. Everyone always complains about these phones breaking, and other problems, but I've had mine for a year and a half almost and it's been awesome. It hasn't broken, yet, knock on wood.... and I get service everywhere with my 6255i/USCC. I've even had sevice in a few small patchy areas where Verizon did not.

Which Blackberry did you get?

I'm sure mine must've been a fluke, seriously it was horrible. Nokia would be out of business if every 6255 was as bad as mine.

7130e, less bulky than the others but doesn't have a full keypad so typing takes some getting used to.

you might want to get updated.

anyone NOT with sprint who wants the SERO plan, PM me.
My bad - it's 29.99. But I pay an extra 5 for 300 texts. If I can get unlimited for free... sounds mighty good to me. I'll have to do that... Hopefully I can get restarted to 7pm, also.

I have cingular which is the best as long as you arent in old suncom user. All digital which no other carrier is. After this year all analog is shut down. Cingular is also the further advanced company with UTMS also 200 more towers go up in november. Plus faster download speeds in november. As of right now cingular is number 1 followed by verizon but i will say there are cetain areas of va that cingular doesnt due to well but Alltel has the advantage since they are regional.

only as far as volume of customers.. verizon has the most advanced data products, best churn ratings, best revenue per cust, the best download speeds (rev a), best network, and best warranty services..

only cingular has us on is phones, but we are closing the gap

actually this last quarter verizons churn rate was the highest ever for them and cingular was better, download speeds in va yes but not in dc and other big areas, the in network is part analog which will be gone pretty soon and your phones do suck you just have great advertising....the cocoalate and Q are both crap and the Q was exclusive to cingular first but they denied it and the cocoalate is a remake of the samsung d807
