I have sprint. I have a true, deep, spiteful hatred for sprint. But, their unlimited talk, data, roaming plan is only $100 bucks a month. I've never been hit on over usage tethering my phone to the laptop (lots of watching tv on hulu, forums, online banking, etc). Every carrier has dead zones. Going with a plan that has free roaming is a must if you plan on being on the phone a lot.
The majority of drivers that I know have AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint. Happiest are usually AT&T, but they are also have the highest bills.4Bear and squirrellsgnwild Thank this. -
Check out boostmobile,saw a handbill of theirs 50.00 a month unlimited talk ect. no contract ,dont know about coverage!!I might go that way as soon as my contract w/ verizon is up , tired of contracts.I think they have a website let us know what you find!!

We are with US Cellular, and had very little problems with them while hubby was on the road.

I had AT&T...real good service most everywhere, but got real tired of the company when they bought Cingular. Now have Verizon...good service, and good luck with the company so far. I have unlimited minutes, $99 a month.
4Bear Thanks this. -
If you can get past the bad customer service then verizon, atnt, or sprint might not be too bad -
Well, for me I find Verizon is the best, because where I am, it's the only cell carrier that gets service on a regular basis

I'll have to be using T-mobile (who is a ripoff) since it's my wife's carrier, and it has free T to T calling and free nights. Less money for another phone than to get a different carrier.
\Anyone know about their coverage? -

Boost Mobile is Sprint/NEXTEL. It only uses nextel IDEN networks, no roaming. If you are not in their service network ... you are SOL. I guess you could have a pay by the minute works everywhere phone, and boost ...
Also remember that using broadband on your phone is a great tool (when you can tether your phone to a computer) ... and is in my mind truely worth a few extra bucks a month.Last edited: Feb 26, 2009
