I see you.....
Due to the recent issues I've been having with cingular I'm in the market for a new phone contract. So far it's between Verizon which has a plan that consist of 450 anytimes minutes free nights and week ends $39.99

Or T-mobil who has 600 anytime minutes and unlimited night/weekends for $39.99

http://www.t-mobile.com/plans/Nation...sp?PlanID=3222

Right now price per minutes T-mobil is ahead and there plan is for a 1 yr contract. While Verizons is for a 2 yr contract for less minutes for the same price but I'm stuck for 2 yrs.



Then there’s option 3 dropping my lines and joining with the g/f (cingular) and just paying the difference and get her military discount. The only reason I'm not jumping on this right away is cingular isn't helping resolve my problem at all. Problem being unknown #'s showing up eating away at my minutes. All they say is there lines are hacker proof there's no way it's being hacked/cloned. Those #'s are being made/received through your phone we can't help you. So as of 11:30 tonight I'm dropping them, so I'm looking for opinions/experience with Verizon and T-mobil users for the most part (mainly T-mobil). T-mobil has more bang for the buck but if there service sucks (dropped calls, static, no signal) I'd rather use Verizon. Keep in mind by Feb of 06' I'm going to be in South Carolina (Charleston) and T-modil seems to have a good signal in that area. Opinions and more importantly experience welcomed good or bad soooo lets here it.
 
I have Cingular (had them when they were AT&T), and while I have had issues with them during the AT&T days everything has been great since the switch. My wife recently switched to Verizon due to a work related discount (she had Sprint which is easily the worst carrier out there). I contemplated switching over with her, but the one thing I love about my Cingular phone is I get a great signal almost anywhere. I hate to give that up. She hasn't had any issues with Verizon so far, and her coverage seems to be pretty good. There's my two cents for what it's worth. If I were switching I would probably go Verizon over T-Mobile.
 
I just switched from Verizon to T-Mobile, because the coverage here in MI stunk with Verizon.



Now, I really couldn't be happier with T-Mobile!:)
 
T-Mobile is GREAT! When you compare them to other services, you get so much more for your dollar. When I was shopping around after my term was up with Sprint, it seemed like Verizon and Cingular were just plain expensive for the equivalent (or less) plans and they didn't offer anything more to justify it.



They've got great customer service and their phone lineup is pretty good, not to mention I have never had a dropped call in almost a year of service and I generally get maximum signal in my area.
 
Seems like t-mobil is pulling ahead (on other forums as well). They seem to have the best bang for the buck. Thanks for your help guys...and any more opinions/experiences please leave them.
 
See if they have a trial period where you can test the phone out. Many companies will give you a 2 week trial and let you return it for free if it doesn't work out.
 
I WORK for Verizon (landline services) and I used get the runaround , too , from customer service ---(land or wireless)--- 'til I got a tip from a supervisor one day: when you call Cust. Serv. , INSIST on speaking to an actual COMPANY EMPLOYEE. Otherwise , there's no telling who you'll actually end up speaking with. Outsourcing and answering services have screwed everything up , apparently.



Don't know how other companies work , but it helped here.

I believe they do. It was either 2 weeks or a month to try it out or return everything for a full refund.
 
I think they have a 15 day trial I'm pretty much going with t-mobil. They have more bang for the buck.
 
I think the cost thing is less of an issue than most think. Every time I contemplate switching carriers I really analyze things and it is always close to being equal no matter where you go. If one has a better rate plan, then they inevitably charge more for their phones and vice versa. I have yet to find a carrier that was really any cheaper than anyone else on phone AND plan.
