I use PTI ( Pacific Telecommunication International) It used to be Verizon for about ten years but then they were bought out by PTI. It is a great company that offers many plans, but the cell phones are too expensive! I have a chocolate phone that I got for $200.00 and that was a year after it first came out. The service is good but nothing is free, we pay for all the features such as text, id caller, call waiting, three way calling and such:)

Nextel/Sprint aka Sextel ;) is perhaps one of the worse providers out there. Especially in a congested city and if everyone is trying to access the network. The reason they are popular is because of those super annoying beep beep two way radio. I myself have T-Mobile, which they utilize Cingular's network, and have been very pleased with them. They have excellent customer service and the phones that are released for T-Mobile tend to be pretty decent too.

I liked nextel and I liked the radio's with my kids.Lightening hit a house I was living in and came thru the electric plug and messed up my phone.Nextel clossed my account and refunded me some money I had already paid.Then when I went to the Nextel/Sprint store and the saleman their said that Nextel should had given me a new phone.I applied to get phones for me and my daughter and the service and he called and talked to three different people in their main office and no one would bend.They said because I had cancelled my account early I had to give them a $200 deposit.The salesman tried to explain that it was not my fault that I was not offered a new phone and they said that I should of spoke up and asked for one.

The companies that I have used are Verizon and Sprint. I can't stand Verizon, because the like to "pad" the bill. The ended up tacking calls on our bill and stupid us, just accepted it. They stank and I am so happy that I am not with them. Right now I am with Sprint. I love Sprint and they don't "pad" the bill. I can expect my bill to be relatively the same month after month. I really enjoy being with Sprint.

We use Cingular which is now AT&T. I guess it's ok. Just got to keep check on our bill because they are bad about adding extra stuff to it. & there customer service morons are horrable to deal with. They have no idea what you are talking about & most of them dont speek english very good at all. The service is ok. but the company sucks.

I have prepaid sim cards from the three major network in my country. I have globe, smart and Suncell. Suncell is my phone to contact my boy friend. I use Smart for my new friends and Globe is for my old friends and family.

I have verizon wireless. I've used them for years and always have been happy with them. I've never had a problem with service. I have had problems with the types of phones they offer because some of them are shoddy. I finally found one that I like and which has lasted me for over a year, so I guess I'm happy.

i don't have a boost but most of the people i know do. i think they suck just because whenever i try 2 call them it almost always tells me its searchin for them then just sends me to there voice mail. i don't know what it is but boost needs to get on top of there game and update there phones

I use alltel and all i have to say is that alltel is the best. i have never gotten a dropped call. It works everywhere. Sprint and Verizon cannot compete when it comes to the service area. and alltel customer service is awesome everytime you call they thank you for your service, and they help you with any problem you have. I have a prepaid monthly contract where i get 400 anytime minutes and 2000 night and weekend with 300 txt messages but really its unlimited. for only 45.98 a month. Its awesome i reccomend them to EVERYONE.
