I was going to make this thread asking who your cell phone carrier is, but instead I made it "What is the best cellphone carrier?" because I'm sure a few people can't wait until their contract expires. I'm with Alltel, who I'm hoping will get bought pretty soon. I may switch though, so who is the best cellphone carrier?
Fido is okay.. (I'm with them) they bill per second... so I guess that's good. It's bad for if you like texting though (their plan only goes up to 1000)
Until Nextel and Sprint truly merge (towers, signals and what not) I have a hard time getting a signal and the amount of dropped calls is phenomenal. Unfortunately, I am stuck with a two year contract but when that is over, I am outta there. I can actually leave my phone sitting on the desk where I work and listen to it going in and out of service.
Two year contracts are an industry scam. There are only a handful of players and the customer service on all of them is crap. They are all staffed with people who likely dropped out of high school (or you would think so). You get the same canned responses form all of them. There is no "service" in customer service. I have been through just about every carrier. And everytime there is a problem there solution is "change your number". Well gee I'm a business I can't do that, but thanks - now maybe you can transfer me to the peon who is responsible for you? Then more canned responses. You would think that they might give a damn at some point. They don't. That's why they are all standardizing on 2 year contract. Lock you in legally. It's crap. Buy your phone. Opt for a plan that goes month to month. How does a contract benefit the customer? Answer: IT DOESN'T The cell phone industry is a big pathetic scam with no competition. 2 Year contracts do NOT benefit anyone but the carrier. What other industry cares so little about the customer?
you should put nextel and sprint part. nextel sucks you allways get called drops the PTT featured is the best for people who need it. Nextel the free incoming plan is the best when you have a business card you can put your cell # and don't worry about the incoming, this plan was originally from nextel, now sprint has it with the merge. Sprint good coverage in the usa, puerto rico, hawaii and others island. they offer international roaming too to most country without the need to changed the device not to all devices and all country, there is allways alot billing problems but if you are organize then you can fight it (lots people pay late and lose control of billing). Cingular now AT&T good coverage but for a good plans you have to paid $$$ more the cheap plans don't offer a lot of minutes as of Dec 2006. (not update), plus when it was AT&T to Cingular you was force to changed your device they do offer some upgrade but always a catch, now you may have to change again. T-mobile good customer service nice few handsets good signal, good service plans.
