is there a way to see which cell service provider is the best in my area?

Question

are there any websites that have done tests or have a way to tell you which work best where?

Answer 1

I would ask friends who have cell phones in the area of interest. They are usually the best references.

Answer 2

I haven't found one website that maps out the best providers, but when I was shopping around a few weeks ago, I noticed T-Mobile allows you to input your address, and it will give you the signal strength of the exact spot plus the surrounding area. I also search Cingular and Verizon, and couldn't find a similar service, so I ended up asking friends how their service was in specific places. I just signed a contract with Cingular, and they allow 30 days to cancel the contract without a penalty, so if I end up having crappy service, I intend to return the phone and find another carrier.

Answer 3

yea call up all the carriers in your area,give them your zip code and town and just ask them weather are not you will be able to have coverage in your are or not .the most important thing about a cell phone is are you going to be able to make or recieve calls in your area or not.once you have your answer then pick your plan.hope that help i just happen to work for a cell phone company.good luck
