cell phone provider?

[Greyd]

Which cell phone provider rules them all? Im looking more for quality and customer service. I looked for wireless provider reviews on the web and couldnt find any. I'm located in Illinois and I have sprint, voicestream, nokia, verizon,cingular...thats it I think. Ive had sprint for awhile and they seem to suck it pretty bad. Maybe its just my phone....anyways any recommendations would be welcome-thanks

try looking into verizon

i'm pretty sure they hit your area.

theyre pretty good? Ive had so many dropped calls/sucky reception im looking for quality. Usually that goes along with CS...I hope

I'm in San Diego and had Cingular but their signal strength and coverage was poor for me.

I have Verizon and am getting much better signal strength and coverage.

Good Luck!

I pretty much hear cingular sucks everywhere.

Voicestream, have never had a problem with them in 4 years, i havent had many calls dropped, maybe 1 in a few hundred, i cant even remember my last dropped call. CS is great, if i had any problems, they fixed it right away. I'm in the houston market...

my uncle lives in aurora and im not sure what he has now, but he was talking about switching to cingular because its supposed to be good there...

i have cingular in rochester, ny. its great coverage here everywhere i go except my neighborhood...

The answer will depend upon your exact location and usage patterns. I don't know about Illinois (maybe be more specific for others?), but for me Sprint REEKED (both technically and service-wise) and *Verizon* has been decent. Voicestream was HORRIBLE. I live in Manoa Valley (Honolulu).

I live in the LA County area and I have Cingular wireless and I must say their service is bad. So many people around here are using Cingular its hard to get service, you have to dial out at least 3 or 4 times before you can get your call through because you get a "System Busy" message. A lot of people I know have switched from Cingular to AT&T or Verizon, everyone I know with Verizon say that it's very good, some of my friends say AT&T is very good and others say its so-so.
