I've had my cell service with Verizon since they were GTE and it has always been great. Before Gte I had Cellular One, later became ATT Wireless which is now Cingular. I was not happy because at the time they didn't offer a national plan where roaming calls were including. ATT Wireless didn't suit my needs, I finished my contract and switched phone companies. It's that simple! I think all cell phone companies are great because they meet individual needs but indeed not every company is the same. People have to have in mind that cell phones are not 100% reliable, regardless of the company, and that is just the bottom line. I love my Cell phone as well as Verizon, they have great customer service (very friendly). I take my phone everywhere I go including when I go on vacation!
Reception very spotty in the majority of areas in the Bay Area. San Jose has to be the worst, I try not to take any calls while on the 101, 87, 880 forget how about I try not to take calls on all the freeways when in San Jose, AT&T is marginal at best. AT&T knows this because they often offer to pay $20 to $30 for your troubles. I got a great phone but horrible service... That SUCKS
Verizon has great reception for me around 1st and Julian area. I saw T Mobile's coverage map and it looks like service is spotty around parts of downtown. I don't know much about Cingular though. Verizon's price is higher than the rest, but, I can't afford to have no coverage (I have no wired line).
