which are the two best cellphone companys?

Question

well i dont know ive just been wondering... which are the two best cellphone companys?

Answer 1

In my opinion, Verizon and Cingular.

Verizon's coverage is the best. They run on cellular frequencies as opposed to the new PCS frequencies. That means their towers/phones have better range and less drop outs, especially in rural areas. You can have all the bells and whistles in the world, but when it comes down to it all of that is no good without a decent signal. At the root of it, a cell phone is to make and receive calls and Verizon does it best.

Cingular is the best PCS carrier. In some areas they do use cell (850MHz) frequencies, but in most areas they do not. They acquired AT&T and in many areas both AT&T and Cingular provided service. What this means is they have towers that do double duty in many areas and that makes the coverage quite solid. Some rural areas will have problems and you can't fall back on analog with a GSM phone, and that's why I put them as second. Another quick note on GSM technology is that the vast majority of the world uses GSM technology. While this may not mean much to you initially unless you travel, how it does affect everyone who uses the service is the amount and variety of handsets available. You will always see GSM phones have the latest technology first and since most phones these days are quad band it is real easy to take the same phone and put it into 90% of the world's cell phone market without having to make any physical changes to the phone.

SprintPCS has made improvements over the years but their coverage is still second best when it comes to PCS service. At least their phones will do analog mode if needed. Still, their primary coverage area isn't as solid as Cingular's. Sprint's customer service is one of the worst (if not THE worst) in the mobile phone industry.

T-Mobile reminds me a lot of Sprint PCS .... the Sprint PCS from 1999 in terms of coverage. They cover metro areas quite well but you get out into the suburbs and especially urban areas, the coverage is really hit and miss. T-Mobile in the US is actually the result of many mergers and acquisitions. They used to be regional carriers before they got merged into one. Developing this nationwide thing is still new for for them like Sprint used to be years ago. Eventually their coverage will be as good as the other PCS providers, but it isn't yet. One good thing for T-Mobile is they probably have the best customer service in the industry. They also have very competitive international roaming rates as they are in many other countries, particularly in Europe (as they're German themselves).

Nextel is the worst. They've been bought by Sprint, but they still use their old Nextel network and their old Nextel phones. They use a digital technology that no other carrier uses (except for their counterpart Telus Mike in Canada) called iDEN. Mainly only Motorola makes equipment for iDEN. It even runs on a completely different frequency than any other cell/PCS provider. Their coverage is very spotty. Poor, poor, poor. In their favor is the walkie talkie capability. They marketed pretty much only to businesses originally as an alternative to licensed 2-way radios with much better range (Nationwide) and no license. Eventually other carriers figured out how to add that feature to their network. Another thing was free incoming calls. While this is standard in Europe, no other carrier offered anything of the sort in the US. Nextel still offers this, and if you can put up with the bad coverage and you use your phone a lot, it might be worth it for you.

Oh, and if you meant cell phone manufacturers rather than providers, Nokia makes the best phones. They might not always be what people are looking for as far as design aesthetics, but they work the best, hands down.

Answer 2

Hi there, adequate AT&T does switch your mobile numbers on most ocations but remember, that there are hundred of thousands of phones in the market, and they dont have the capacity to be ready to make transfers on all telephones.I suggest that u go to any AT&T sales space available in the market, in the mall or whatever, and ask if they have got the ability to transfer your numbers from that specified mannequin. If they cant, well your a little bit out of good fortune. A question, does your mobile a MicroSd card slot? Or a mini? On account that u can mostly transer your numbers to the cardboard, then put them in your new phone, or go them to your computer, then sync them to the phone. The (Sony Ericsson C905a) has that potential, but im not sure if yours has it, anyway if u want any support with some thing simply ship me a message. Good good fortune :)

Answer 3

hi, ok AT&T does move your telephone numbers on maximum ocations yet keep in thoughts, that there are hundred of thousands of phones contained in the market, and they dont have the potential to be able to make transfers on all phones.I recommend that u bypass to any AT&T sales area obtainable, contained in the mall or something, and ask in the journey that they have got the potential to move your numbers from that diverse sort. in the journey that they cant, nicely your slightly out of success. a question, does your telephone a MicroSd card slot? or a mini? because u can likely transer your numbers to the cardboard, then placed them on your new telephone, or bypass them for your computing gadget, then sync them to the phone. The (Sony Ericsson C905a) has that skill, yet im not particular if yours has it, besides if u desire any help with something merely deliver me a message. strong success :)

Answer 4

I Have Sprint, and in 5 years have not had any trouble. Calls are clear. Customer support is great.
As far as any other service, I had Ameritech before Sprint. Ameritech had bad phones with poor customer support-just a bad experience all the way around for me. In there defense, I will say, it was over 5 years ago, and they are gone.
