Yeah don't ever go with Tmobile! There service is garbage, there service is garbage, and they treat people like crap!

I drop calls left and right, 80% of the time I have no signal, many times people call and it doesn't even go to my voicemail it just says the number is unreachable (real great for business! NOT!), If you get texted you get charged .10 per text and there's no way to stop them from coming in, Oh and most recently someone else was given my number so they were using my minutes!

They always blame it on the phone, or the sim card, or that I hadn't powered my phone off that day. Well I have 2 phones one new and one old. Both have the same problem and it's definitely there crappy service. Of all the companies I used Tmobile is by far the worst!!!!!!!

ALLTELL isn't even a nationwide company, nor are they offered in some of the larger markets. It's a good choice if you don't travel or need a large network and stay in a local area but if you need coverage don't get Alltel. The are cheaper on plans than most companies because of this. Basically cell phone companies work two ways. You either have coverage or you don't. If you don't have the coverage as the larger carriers then what is going to get you customers when you have an inferior product? Price will. So the smaller companies such as Alltel will offere really lucrative plans and/or minutes to offset the lack of coverage.

So if you stay in the blue area you'll be fine with ALLTEL but I'd check with people that live near you as they would be best sort of info for this as I know you can't even buy ALLTEL where I live nor will it work.

Oh and all cell companies suck. It really depends on where you live as to what company is the best. Some markets have better coverage with Company A then Company B but overall they may be a shittier company.

I will say that Verizon is the best company out there for coverage and reliability. But Verizon is also the most expsensive. So it is all in what you want and willing to pay for. The only thing some people might not like Verizon is b/c it's digital technology and doesn't require a sim card but as long as you don't travel overseas you shoudl be fine. That is the problem with Nextel/T-Mobile/Cingular is that they are GSM carriers and I don't think that technology is better than digital. At least in voice coverage. I know with my Sprint and my family's verizon phone that are all digital technology the voice coverage and clarity is outstanding.

I for one have Sprint and don't have an issue. I rarely travel outside of my area. I have 1000 minutes, nights at 7, 1000 txt, insurance, and internet for 70 bux a month (that's after taxes). But most people say they HATE sprint. I have had them for three or four years and can't complain. I may travel outside of my network once a year but no need to pay for a national plan and get less minutes when I don't even use/need it that often.
