from my experience, CDMA networks like Sprint and Verizon have some of the best service on the east coast. When I was in NYC for the first time, I had sprint, and I was getting service on the subways.

When I was there this summer, ATT was dead down there, but my phone worked totally fine. As far as the midwest goes, ATT seems to have some of the strongest service.

 

I've only ever had AT&T and I've never dropped a call...ever :dunno:

But rates are pretty expensive (I think)

 

Verizon for over 8 years. a little under $80 for data and calling plan

 

5 years with Verizon this Feb.

 

AT&T for my personal phone...no problems other than a few dropped calls even in 3G network...discounted price for being in the Army

Nextel for my work phone..no real complaints and I get a discount for being a Police Officer

 

11 years with Verizon, and no longer contract. great service and their customer service at the stores are great. my only complaint is that their phones are not to impressive right now. I'm just going to wait and see what they get and make a decision if I want to leave or not.

 

I've had almost every carrier in the US from since 1998 except Cingular.

 

I have the same thing, and just upgraded my phone. No Problem.

Just make sure you tell them not to change your plan at all.

 

verizon with a 22% discount. i've been with verizon for about 5 or 6 years now and have no complaints.

 

nice! I've only got a 17% discount with my company.
