t-mobile is best this is beacuse unlike Verizon you can call from your house and unlike Cingular T-Mobile has the best service. Also T-Mobile has best pricing and some of the best phones out of all other cellular phone companys.

I have had sprint for 2 years now. I work for Radio Shack and we sell both sprint and verizon. I choose sprint over verizon because sprint has better coverage. The free and clear america cannot be beaten. You get everyone elses towers to use for only 5 bucks a month. GIVING you almost perfect reception anywhere you go. Sprint pays more than 5 bucks for you to have that service. Sprint is the way to go. Fair and Flexible and nights at 7, and no ROAMING! Its true no roaming. Go to cannon beach oregon, verizon only works there. no sprint. I signed my friend up for Free and Clear america, full service! It works. Sprint is the way to go. Plus sprint can fix you plan no matter what. Everyone says that their bill gets messed up by sprint but its actually the stupid consumer that cant understand how bills work and that they are pro-rated. The extra charges are because customers think stuff is free when its not. Go Sprint! It's better than anyone out there.

i have never had a dropd call! T-Mobile is great here.

The GPRS signal has significantly improved for this area. Though probably still working a bit on 1900, no dropped calls, travel widely between Kent, Federal Way, Auburn, Fife, Milton, Covington, etc.

At my house (between Maple Valley and Kent), Verizon is the best. I had AT&T, and the service at my house was terrible. Only problem I've had with Verizon, is in large buildings, on the lower floors there is little to no reception. The coverage area is large, and I've had few dropped calls. On another note, the hinge on my phone broke a while back, and Verizon replaced my phone free of charge.

I only have dropped calls with Verizon when on wierd hilly parts of highways outside the seattle metro area

Recently reception improved in my house - 2 or 3 months ago. Now is acceptable (good, useful). Reception along Covington-Sawyer Rd.is acceptable except a short stretch near 196 Ave. (unsure of exact location) I chose T-Mobile phone service initially because of the tower location. No other provider gave good service at my home. If I were to switch, I might choose Cingular, due to tower locations. However, I would try before buy.

I am currently using Verizon but the wife was using T-Mobile before and both have good reception in our area. AT&T had terrible reception in the area. The South East area of Auburn is weaker in the canyon area by the river but still does not drop the call or become distorted. I think the phone model is why the call does not drop in the Auburn area because my friend Verizon phone does drop the call in the canyon. The Verizon gets strong reception in the Black Diamond area.

Only tested Edge coverage since I put my T-Mobile sim in my unlocked iPhone 3G. Test calls to voicemail worked great. Once I get a T-Mobile phone with 3G I'll post here again.

T-Mobile reception on the street in front of our house in a minimally useable 2 bars, but inside our house it drops to between 1 bar and completely unuseable. Otherwise, there are a few familiar deadspots (such as driving on Thomas Rd.or at the bottom of the Crest Airpark) but generally the service is satisfactory other than in-house use. I am looking to switch to a service which works at 3 bars or better inside our house for business use.
