    We have Nextel, the ONLY cell phone that works here on our property. Our trucks have it and the coverage is GREAT. I'll probbably never change again and I've had them ALL:thumbup:

    Night that is what it all boils down to, what works for you.


    I can promise you that if you were in my home state you would have VERY little coverage out side of Cheyenne, and spotty in Cheyenne.

    Hasn't Cell one gone under or been bought out?

    They were not worth a tinkers darn in WY a few years ago. I don't recall seeing them around for a very long time.

    I have Verizon.Works well for me in the southeast,northeast,and central states.I do get some dropped calls,but I feel that`s normal going through hills and valleys.I think if you stay with a major name brand (whichever one you use)your service will be just as good as the others.:smt025

    T-Mobile may not have the best reception, but they got the best looking product pusher:
