Re: [POLL] 2009 Wireless Service Provider
It would be interesting to see when this poll is made again. I wonder if iPhone has helped ATT get on top.

Just bought a Boost Mobile phone Saturday, 11-14. About to call T-Mobile tomorrow, 11-16, and cancel them.
T-Mobile has easily been the best cell phone company out of 4 I've used. Wife doesn't like it though, as she works further away, and it doesn't work very well there.
Everyone else I know is either on Nextel or Boost, so what the heck, if you can't beat 'em, join 'em!!

I've been using iwireless here in Iowa for about 4 years now
I've got unlimited voice/long distance, unlimited txts, and unlimited data for $59 a month with a motorokr z6. but the unlimited data is slower than dialup i think. |

I'm currently on an AT&T Family plan with 700 shared minutes, rollover, data & messaging plans on two phones, and I'm paying over $200 per month just for wireless. I'm considering moving to a regional competitor called Pocket Communications which has unlimited talk/text/web for about $100/month for two phones.

T-Mobile non-stop since Janurary 2000 (when it was called VoiceStream). In fact, I still use the same Nokia 6190 phone, with the VoiceStream badge, I got when I started service with them.
They're an excellent, trouble free wireless provider with top notch voice quality, IMHO. |

I have used Sprint, then T-Mobile, and recently switched to Straightalk (Trac Phone + Verizon Wireless). I checked "other" else I maybe would have needed to check three boxes versus one to document my current provider. Both Sprint and T-Mobile had decent coverage where I live, but could not resist Straighttalk's service plan for the money, and Verizon's Prepaid wireless coverage footprint in western Washington is as good or better than anyone else in this area. |

Recently switched back to Verizon from T-Mobile. I like T-mobile but the reception isn't as good as Verizon, and with my 24% discount (because of my employer) it was too good a deal to pass up. |

Verizon Wireless because they work the best. And Nextel iDEN because of PTT!

I live in Southern California and travel a lot to Mexico. I've had Verizon for about eight or nine years. My cellular is my only telephone as it works so good that I disconnected my land line about five years ago.
Based upon my extensive personal experience and being around people who are always using cellular phones in my presence Verizon is in a class by itself in one area: Reception. In fact I never had a telephone conversation with my cellular telephone where the person I was speaking could tell I was using a cellular.
AT&T is the second most common where I am but it has a lot more dead areas than Verizon.
At least in Southern California Sprint is in a class by itself for poor reception. In fact I can usually tell all most immediately when I am talking to someone on a Sprint phone who is in Southern California. |

US Cellular for almost 2 years. Free incoming calls cannot be beat. Their EVDO coverage is pitiful though, especially with 4g starting to be experimented with by Sprint.
However, Im still sticking with USC.

I had Cingular for 2 years and hated it. I had T-Mobile for a year and like it, but it didn't work in all the areas I traveled. I've had Sprint ever since. It works where others do not. Now I am thinking about upgrading. I almost have enough Sprint phones to open a store

I voted for TracFone. 
The thing I like most about Tracfone is I only have to buy minutes every 90 days to keep my service active instead of 60 days like most other prepaid providers. It averages out to around $7 a month which is good since I don't use my cell a lot anyway. |
