Cingular vs. Sprint

[treetop flyer]

For what it's worth...

I currently use AT&T although I used to be with Verizon...


AT&T- I like my phone and I seem to have good coverage (unless I'm really out in the middle of nowhere). Customer support is decent (I'd say 6-7 out of 10). I've had some issues recently about mis-crediting my night/weekend minutes but aside from that I've been happy. Also, I just noticed that AT&T is now offering UNLIMITED anytime minutes on their new GSM network for $99/month. That's expensive, but if you talk a lot it may be worthwhile to investigate.



VERIZON- I had a LG phone which was OK at best. The sound quality was (in my opinion) weak and tinny and it had to be turned up all the way to hear anything (that's probably my ears though). Anyway, my biggest gripe was that my voice messages would arrive up to TWO days AFTER they were sent! That's a tough thing to live with and I ended up opting out of my plan for their phenomenal...uhhh...I mean NOMINAL fee

I have used Sprint the last few years, it is o.k. in the major cites but once you get outside the us you are sol.One of my crewmembers has t-mobile, the other day we were taxing out and the weather went below takeoff minimums at kef, he just called our dispatch from the airplane and we filed our takeoff alternate. Worked pretty good. He says that it works great all over the world.

Nextel

I've had sprint, and a family member worked for Sprint, and let me tell you: Terrible!
I live in the MidWest, have Nextel, and love it. May be a little more than sprint, price wise, but you get what you pay for. Sprint, 1 in every 3 calls were dropped calls. Haven't had one in the last year with Nextel.
