What cell phone provider do you use?

[lanyac]

DH and I are losing our discount with T-mobile because he's leaving the Marine Corps. We're looking into getting a new phone company, and I was wondering what MM thinks.

Thanks!

We've been happy with Sprint, but we do seem to lose coverage any time we're driving through BFE. But around populated areas, our coverage is great.

TracFone

[WOT?*]

Verizon. Costly but good service for the most part. I may go TracFone on them someday but I'm lazy and entrenched.

[Ashley&Scott]

US Cellular

[The Impossible Girl]

Verizon. Like PP said, it's pricey but I usually have service where my friends with other providers don't.

[yellowbrkrd]

We have Verizon because DH's work pays a stipend and they required he be on it....I much preferred AT&T.

[iamali]

Sprint. I've had them for almost 15 years.

[doctorsbaby]

We've had Verizon for years and all of our extended family uses them so it's not worth switching for us.

[KaraOrNot]

We had AT&T for years. We switched to Verizon about a year ago and are kicking ourselves that we didn't do it sooner. No dropped calls, great customer serivces. Love it!

verizon because i've never had anything else.

now that i have an iphone i'm sure i'll never switch.

[EloiseWeenie]

Straight Talk (the walmart plan). It's $45 for unlimited talk, text, and data. We use unlocked AT&T phones (so we pick up AT&T instead of T-Mobile towers).

[hanihani]

Verizon. And I am now grandfathered in on the unlimited data plan - so I'll probably never switch.

[tripleshot]

Verizon. I'm grandfathered into unlimited data, get a 20% discount through work, and other providers in my area have shitty coverage.

[crashgizmo]

I had TMobile for 12ish years and switched to Sprint when I moved states...the Tmobile coverage was crappy. I've been with Sprint about a year and I am "eh" about it.

[hetty]

Verizon. I have an 18% discount through work and am grandfathered into the unlimited plan. It will be hard to ever give it up.

[gracioushoney]

AT&T, we have iPhones and are grandfathered into plans and discounts so we are staying here for now.

[victoria0993]

We currently have T-Mobile but when our contract goes up we are switching to AT&T to join the iPhone world.

[ilikedonuts]

Verizon with an 18% discount and grandfathered in to unlimited data for 2 smart phones. We'll never switch.

[agnes]

We had AT&T and switched to Sprint about a year and a half ago.

The service is about the same. Sprint is considerably cheaper.

[statlerwaldorf]

Virgin Mobile. I hardly ever actually call people and wanted cheap unlimited text messaging and data. I pay $25/mo for 300 minutes, unlimited text, and unlimited data. There are no free mobile-to-mobile, nights, or weekends.

[everam01]

AT&T. I would switch to Verizon if everyone I know wasn't on AT&T. I can keep the lowest package since they don't count other AT&T customers in the minute count.

[phoenixrising]

I am on Verizon. I get a 24% discount through work and am grandfathered into unlimited data. They will have me for life.

We moved from Verizon to Sprint. My mom has had Sprint forever and along with better customer service it was only about $15 more to get unlimited everything for 2 iPhone vs the crappy 1400 minutes we had on Verizon. Also we live in an older neighborhood where no one has good service and Sprint gave us a thing that hooks up to our internet and has an antenna that allows us to make calls from our condo. Verizon told us we were shit out of luck.

[lightbulbsun]

I use cricket and I love it. DH and I both have smartphones and we pay $112/month for unlimited talk/text/data.

[ECB]

We were w/ Verizon for YEARS. Probably 11 years or so. We really liked Verizon. But a friend works for Sprint and we were able to get on his family plan. So now we pay the same for a Smartphone w/ a full data package that we did for simple flip phones where we didn't even get free texting.

[kzoomaggie]

We have sprint. We get a really nice business discount and the service has always been excellent. It has worked well for us :-)

T-mobile... had Sprint and switched to save money. After the contract is up we are buying unlocked Iphones and going with a pre-paid unlimited everything plan that will save us money! T-mobile's coverage is terrible and we live in an area with no 3g but we pay for it. I basically only can get on the internet when tapped into WIFI.

[Lissa]

I use AT&T with no major complaints.

[clea]

ATT is the only provider I've ever had
