when has..

the law stopped the cell phone carriers from doing much of anything?

advertising "no contract" and then forcing a contract is typical of ALL of the cell phone companies. Screwing customers is far, far more important than providing good service at a reasonable price. I have yet to see a cell company that cared about customers.

Unless someone has the money to fight the binding arbitration clause in court, they will get away with it. They probably have slipped the FCC money under the table to ignore their false advertising.

I only know of one.. Alltel.. I have had their service for a few years now and haven't had any issues. Even when I couldn't pay my bill due to financial difficulty, they offered to waive the termination fee and apply a $25 credit on my bill.

Plus, their data service is really unlimited. I've been using it for years, usually accruing 10+GB a month (getting updates for customers) on my 6800 and TP.

Unfortunately, in around a year, at&t will officially screw me over and I'll be miserable like everyone else.

I have to agree with you about Alltel; I was with them for about ten years--all good. But, in my area, Alltel is now Verizon--not as good. With Alltel, "U" came first; with Verizon, it's all about the $$$. Verizon does a good job, I suppose, but that's all it really is: a job. Different corporate culture.

Nope. Alltel RevA CDMA.

Verizon/at&t are still having issues with the local laws here in Montana. Something about a local monopoly.

I agree 100%, Alltel was truly the best for us for 7 years. We still have our Alltel blackberry's, but have noticed a slow in our data speeds since Verizon took over. I'm keeping our plan as long as I can since Alltel gave you free unlimited text and free unlimited tethering with their smartphone plans. Verizon charges extra for both of those options. I also use as much as 12GB a month and have never had a problem.

RIP Alltel, we miss you very much!
