Status: offline 		My wireless contract is about to expire very soon and I was just wondering what carrier you use and if you have had good experience with one company over another.    

                                                                               

Currently, I use AT&T and have since it bought out Cingular, which I had for years.  Both of them have had good customer service and pretty good reception.  Do you like your current provider and the plans they offer?

also, I found out they offer discounts to employees of certain companies and their spouses, dependents etc.  don't know if other comapanies do that.

Status: offline 		I HAD Ntelos.  Great reception, and the unlimited plan didnt cost an arm and a leg.  At the time when I had it, it was around 50, 60 dollars.  Woot!  The only thing is, they dont get the new awesome phones like the Shine, or the IPhone, so that makes me a lil sad.

I was fondling a Blackberry Storm this morning and the Verizon folks tell me it is now 20 months. Yayyy - I'm getting my Storm in May !

Make that 10   I've been with them 8 years now, I think.  Maybe 9.  I'm totally happy with the service.

As an added incentive, Verizon-to-Verizon calls are free unlimited and don't come out of your Peak hours.  My company gets a discount, too.

I'm due for my new-every-two phone in March, yippee.  I've been looking at the Storm, too.  I just hope the battery lasts longer than it does in my current Krazr.  I've begun to hate that phone...the battery holds a charge for less than 30 min.

LaT reminded me.....I also carry their wireless card.  I'm always online when I want to be.  I will say that their DSL service here sucked, and when a storm knocked it out, they couldn't come to fix it for 4 days, then they didn't even show up on that day.  I dropped it.

Status: offline 		Hey, wind!  LOL, I wasn't sure which one you had as I was scrolling down.  It used to be that most of my friends had Cingular/AT&T, so it just made sense to stay with them all this time.  But with so many using Verizon, I thought I should at least consider switching since I think only one or two people in my phone book are still with them.

Status: offline 		I love that Thing 1 and I were at Best Buy this afternoon, looking at the new phones that are available for free with new service, and we found one that was kind of cute.  It's called a "Blitz."  I thought it might be "calling" me because its got something called a "Qwerty" keyboard that slides out.

(I mean, how did Verizon know that DB's qwert was the first thing that ever sent me into subspace?  Dayum, these people are everywhere!)

Status: offline 		Mistress and I both have AT&T (formerly Cingular), so with unlimited network mobile-to-mobile, we can talk forever.  They have pretty good rate plans and I've never had any problems with them in the 8 or so years I've been with them.  I rate them an 8.5 out of 10 due to the occasional spotty reception at inopportune times.
