Who is your Cell phone Provider/How is the service?

Who is your Cell provider and How do you like their Service?

Mine is at&t formerly Cingular and I have 900 mins a month + unlimited texting for like $82-85 a month.

I never use alll my mins so rollover is a great thing:)

For £4 a month ($8 ), I get 100 min and 100 texts, and free calls and texts to anyone on the same plan as I am (my family). I'm on O2 in the Uk. Oh, and I can get any phone I want for 1/3 or 1/4 the normal price.

[markp1989]

im on O2 pay as you go, if i put £10 i get 300 free texts, £20 i get 500 free texts and if i put £30 i get unlimited free texts, but they expire after a month

Ive forgotten the conversion rate

If you're talking about the $ to £ rate, its $2 to every £1 (roughly speaking).

I have Verizon Wireless... I pay about $45 a month for 450 minutes, and unlimited texting to Verizon cell phones. This includes a 20% discount I get from my work. I like them, but the Motorolla SLVR I have now I hate... Looking for a new/cheap phone...

Currently 0 SEK/month and 0.59 SEK/minute
That is with Telia in Sweden. Unfortunately I will have to switch to another kind of service which is then 59 SEK/month, free calls to all Telia mobile phones, and still 0.59SEK/minute to everyone else.

1$ = 6 SEK

I use Nextel ... er, Sprint. :D

Best audio quality I've found, possibly because the iDEN format pushes less data than the channels can hold so the extra space between bands can be used as "guard space." And the two-way radio feature is a sell point, for me — the whole family uses Nextel and when one of my older relatives got sick a couple of years ago, it's a handy way to get in touch quickly.

Down sides: Nobody really knows what Sprint's future plans are for iDEN, but there are multiple companies offering that network in the USA. And I believe service was better before Sprint bought out Nextel.

MetroPCS

$45
Unlimited Minutes
Unlimited Text
Unlimited Web

it is pretty damn good deal, if a limited coverage area. I am not much of a traveler so it is a gret deal for me.

Quality, a 7 out of 10

TMobile, 2000 minutes, 400txt & 400pic msgs, Discounted calls to Canada, TMobile-Web (which is terrible IMO). Grand total is about $130/month.

Virgin Mobile USA. It's great. Pay-as-you-go with no fuss or hidden fees. The phones kind of stink, but they're tolerable. You won't be wowing anyone with you Virgin phone, but you'll be saving a lot of money on bills!

Are they affilliated with Verizon at all? I had prepaid for 3 years and spent 3 to 4 times the cost of a contract, but IK have family spread out and they love to talk :)

[aysiu]

Virgin is its own company, but it leases out Sprint's network (so they get the same coverage Sprint does).

Yeah, I guess I should have mentioned that pay-as-you-go is mainly for people who don't talk a lot. My wife and I used to have an expensive (one of the cheaper monthly plans, believe it or not) contract plan and ended up with all these unused rollover minutes... that's when we realized we were pay-as-you-go people.

Ironically enough, Virgin Mobile USA tries to market itself as a hip phone company perfect for young people (12-25 years of age crowd), but the people I've found most responsive to it and happy with it have been people over 30 (mostly 40-50-year-olds, actually).

Thats quite interesting....:) right now, I have over 700 mins I havent used and over 350 in rollover..thats over 1,000 minutes, and quite honestly I may not use them. But its nice to know if I need them, theyre there as well:)
