Ok so I washed my phone and its dead, I hate sprint so I bought out the remainder of my contract and am shopping.

I have heard that AT&T has issues in the EV, anyone experience that? Bad service? No 3G/4G?

As far as pricing, Tmobile, Verizon and ATT are all about the same with VZW being the most expensive.

Tmobile has the most free phones

I need advice, going to have 2 lines and need unlimited text and data more than tons of minutes.

Anyone use the Motorola CLIQ 2? Tmobile has a websale where that phone is free.

I have had both AT&T and Verizon. Verizon's coverage blows AT&T's out of the water here. My girlfriend used to have T-Mobile and it was pretty decent. Not as good as Verizon's but not bad either. T-Mobile is being bought out by AT&T so who knows what it's going to be like.

If you want unlimited data, act quick, Verizon and others are moving away from unlimited data plans. 7/7 is the day that day for Verizon, AT&T is already there. (I think)

I was going to say Sprint until I read your post. We've had them for years and never had any issues.

Oh well.

I just switched to Tmobile from Verizon and love it so far. I'm in California, though. I got a free Android phone and my contract is significantly less than what I was paying for Verizon. Haven't had any coverage issues.

Live in Cave Creek. Travel to all parts of the valley weekly. Never had a problem with AT&T coverage. Everyone else says AT&T sucks, I say "do you have AT&T?" they say no but I hear it sucks. Say it enough times and it becomes the truth?

LoL well you'll both be pleased to hear I got an oustanding deal on an iphone4 from AT&T (got a great discount through my company) and it's already head and shoulders above sprint. I never had any major problems with sprint's service but I've had a couple of questions for Customer Service and the people at AT&T are so much better than the knuckle draggers at sprint that it's not even funny. Plus, I've been all over last weekend and today and I've yet to lose a bar.

Thanks everyone for the advice. I'm really happy with what I got. All the companies I looked at were great, they all have really nice stuff, just decided to go AT&T.

Glad to hear you got a good deal, Bert!
