Jan 6th cannot come any sooner. My 2 year contract with Sprint finally ends, and I cannot wait. My only real big complaint with Sprint is....they suck in Columbus. Anywhere on campus there are "dead spots", you are lucky if you catch signal on base, it's like if the wind blows, you just might get service, and it doesnt even work at my house 90% of the time.

The big ones here in Columbus that have been working really well are

T-Mobile
Cingular
Alltel
Verizon

I dont think I am going to try Alltel or Verizon....so really it's down to T-Mobile or Cingular....

who has what and what problems have you had if any with customer service and service.....


I'm ready to get a neato phone again, because sprint kinda lacked in that dept.

I had alot of problems with cigular (this is just my opinion) They screwed me on trying to get out of my contract and they were just rude to me on the phone.. I have been very happy with verizon..

I have cingular and have never had a problem with them. Coverage is pretty good also and you can get rollover.

I have already been with T-mobile (powertel in my days) and Nextel....

I'm not going back to Nextel because Sprint and Nextel are one in the same and Sprint customer service and tech support have gotten on my last nerves and refuse to do business with anything related to Sprint.

razr's are wide/tall to make up for the thin look ;).

and yes cingular uses GSM so you can carry 15 phones to look cool and only actually have one active line.

My uncle out in washington state STILL uses one of those old ass brick phones. He can recieve signal no matter where he is because they use old technology and have a 5 mw transmitter instead of the now regulated 3. The first time i saw it i thought it was a joke lol.

Sucks that sprints sucks out there. They work on developing service in dead areas all you have to do is request dropped call credits in the problem area and they will work on it. (doubt you will do that though lol)

I guess go with cingular if you have to make moves quickly.

I got tmobile and a razr and i cant complain at all. Sometimes i dont get signal in some specific areas, but otherwise its covered pretty well. And the razr i like, just wish it had a better camera, and the software was less laggy. I think i'll be upgrading to the pebl once its out.
