I am leaving Verizon, as anyone that has ever dealt with them should. What carriers are people using? Any recommendations? If you say Verizon you will probably get a thumbs down...

I have used four different phone services.
Here is what i found.
US CELLULAR.. good connectivity , range and sound.. BAD BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE
TMOBILE: Good connectivity, prepaid services are fairly good. Voicestream sound..clear, Prepaid minutes double upon purchase. You buy $50.00 worth.. they give you $100.00 worth of time. Thats good
VIRGIN MOBILE: Amazing international connections, local in the USA not so clear, but that could have been the phone. I live in Chicago. I dialed a number in Prague, chezlovokia, and reached my daughter immediately.Virgin gives you terrific international access and connections.( if you have a student traveling abroad. .use it!)
I think their prepaid time runs out too fast, They have alot of extras like ringtones , games, and other features. Its kinda lame what they offer though. BAD BAD Customer service, and lots of LOST TIME, where somehow the prepaid minutes get WIPED OFF your phone without use. Virgin doesnt give you that time back
VERIZON WIRELESS: Doubles your prepaid time, but the connections drop off alot and the sound isnt so great. You dont need a credit check to get a contract with them..Less convenient for the number of places you can go to BUY your time for your phone on the prepaid. That becomes an issue when you run out of time in an area where there are no verizon stores.
Does this help you.

I don't know what you are talking about, Verizon is great! I have been using that service for a while and had NO problems.And if you haven't noticed people don't care if you get a thumbs-down, it is just peoples opinions. And this is my opinion, Verizon is great and to you Verizon sucks. It doesn't matter what people think, it is what you want to do.

Depends on what is good in your area. Even though most plans are "Nation wide." Does not mean you actually get them in all areas. Also ask your friends and family what they have. If you stick with what everyone else has you might be able to talk to them for free, because they have the same carrier. I'm looking into a Sprint phone, because almost everyone in my family, and lots of my friends have it. So it will save me minutes every month. Oh and make sure they have a return policy, that way if you don't like it, you can return it and not get penalized.

i have been with verizon like forever and they havent been a problem since. it mite be the phone that u got and not the service, cause i no a lot of peeps with that problems and they are in cingular, alltel and other services. all they had to do was buy a different type of phone and things went perfectly without having to start a new contract with anyone.

I use Verizon now but ONLY because it's the only service available in this rural area and can be used in any state (the only other service locally serves just the surrounding areas). IF I could, I would go back to Sprint/Nextel because they do offer an unlimited minutes plan and other benefits (such as their walkie talkie feature just to mention one) and they are nationwide like Verizon. I don't like Verizon because of their limitations (I have service in my house IN THE BATHROOM ONLY!)

Verizon for 13 years. The service plans may not be that great; however, their customer services surpasses everyone elses and that is priceless to me. They are also the only service that worked when a group of us went to Puerto Rico.

i have virgin mobile. it's okay for as little as i use it, and it really has been good service. we have verizon land lines here, and sometimes it seems it would be better to go back to a string and tin cans, i wouldn't go with verizon just because of that.

i have verizon; and i really like it because all of my friends have it so we can talk on the phone as much as we want for free. if you talk on the phone alot and alot of your friends have cingular, go for that.
