Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 which provider does everyone use? My Contract with nextel is up in a week or 2 and i am looking to switch. Nextel is nice, and i have a lot of family members who have it so the walkie talkie comes in handy. but the service is sometimes horrible. i could be standing in one spot, take a step in one direction and it could be gone...looking at the coverage map on thier site...there are spots all over the place for service, where the other providers have pretty much full coverage throughout the state. i have looked at Sprint, Verizon, AT&T (cingular). another reason is that i am a person who likes to switch phones once a year or two, and nextels are just getting to darn expensive!

Guest Finn Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 We have good coverage with Cingular in this area. I really have had good luck with Motorola phones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tominator Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Verizon here. No complaints. Wish Tom would get text capabilities though. I think he's doing it on purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

christsavedme Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Another Cingular(att) here. It is overall pretty good but they do have dropped calls in alot of places. Should be getting better with the new merger! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeNRA Posted June 10, 2007 Report Share Posted June 10, 2007 Nextel here, no problems at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Bell Canada for me, I'm assuming you wouldn't get that down there in the US though. So far I have had great service from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyrod64 Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 We have tried about all of them the past few years and cingular seems to have the best service here anyways. It's hard to get a signal in these mountains anyways! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
007hunter Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Verizon here and I havn't got any complaints. I do beleive that they have a deal out there right now where you can try them out for a month and if you don't like them and decide to switch they will pay your bill that month. Worth a shot...

wtnhunt Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 Been using Cingular here for about 8 years now. Get good coverage most everywhere. My sister in law manages a verizon store, she has tried to get us to switch, but bellsouth has always had better deals with combined billing with cingular.

bowin_in_illinois Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 I agree that nextel phones are more expensive...but the service is great, so it's worth it to me. I've been using Nextel for about 8 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MUDRUNNER Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 We switched from Nextel to Verizon for our work phones a few months ago to save some money.Our Verizon service is absolutely awful.We have 10 phones and nobody likes them.I have about a third of my calls dropped and my wife won't even call me on it because she gets agrivatted only hearing every other word.I can't complain much since work pays for it,but no way I would keep it if it was on my bill.

Jeramie Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 US Cellular. Ive had it for about 10-years and no complaints. If I did switch it would be to cingular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevebeilgard Posted June 11, 2007 Report Share Posted June 11, 2007 i'm on alltel, the cell service with the most dropped calls. i'm just o.k with it, not in love with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archerjg Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 I have verizon right now and the service isn't that great. The phone loses signal in the middle of a perrfect signal zone where other verizon phones have full signal. Verizon has not tried hard to help solve the problem. I am considering dunping them when the contract is up. Archerjg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted June 12, 2007 Report Share Posted June 12, 2007 Cingular and it is always dropping calls and sending my text messages multiple times. Don't know what the deal is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michiganbowhunter_SQ2 Posted June 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Update well, i decided to go with sprint...we have had nextels for a long time, and even when the companies merged, they were still good to us...quick service with sending new phones or replacment phones, always seem to get right through when needing to talk to someone there and got the answers we were looking for when we had a problem. i ordered the phone yesterday at around 2pm, and check the site today and ups with the tracking number, and the phone is already out for delivery, so i'll get it in about an hour or 2 (usually the time they drop things off) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrud Posted June 22, 2007 Report Share Posted June 22, 2007 Alltel. It's alright. Strange enough, I can get great reception n the middle of the woods. But on the south end of town, which is still close to the towers, I get bad reception and a lot of dropped calls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have nextel as well. Service is kinda so-so here in Columbus. It's not too bad. But yeah I defintely know what you mean about the phones getting expensive! I still have the i205. Everyone makes fun of it and asks if I can watch tv on that thing lol but it suits me just fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig mack Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 Verizon here. I had Nextel and I hated them. Plus I couldnt get service when I went to the U.P., I can with my Verizon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
