Which Cell Phone Providers...

[Squintz]

Which cell phone providers have the best internet service. Including pricing and reliability?

Edit:
Also what location does your opinion apply to.

I suspect that is going to vary widely by region? Where are you?

In Albuquerque Verizon seems to be the prime for wireless internet - they have pretty good coverage around the state, which is a feat in NM.

Of course I brought my Verizon card here to Ashland, OR and lots of signal, but it won't connect. No service here

Good luck!

Im actually on the east coast but the question was in general so i guess along with everyones comments please add the location which the service is best.

I don't know which is the best but I can tell you which one ISN'T in the NY Metro area - TMobile -

A couple of LINKs to start you off (although I switched to PREPAID a few years back, you should be able to also find POSTPAID information):

• Howard Forums - Index
• CellGuru - Index
• Point.Com

There is a forum section somewhat dedicated to this topic on www.mp3car.com

I remember an X-Files episode where Mulder is way out in the desert, miles from anything, and he falls into a metal train car that is buried under the sand. He is able to call out on his cell phone and the signal is crystal clear. I use this standard as my baseline when evaluating any cell phone service.

lol, I remember that episode, I guess that explains why I don't like any of the carriers

I have used Cingular for 4 years now, and have had good luck. I have the nation wide plan, no roaming anywhere in the US ect. I purchased a new phone (Motorolla MPX220 Windows Moble edition) and have no problems logging into Home Seer and controlling it. Currently Cingualr is the Largest US carrier.

Cingular: West Palm Beach, Florida based.
Aprox $50 a month with Rollover minutes and Nationwide coverage

However I have had excellent service in Chicago, Phoenix, Atlantic City, Orlando, Irvine California, Phoenix, and Las Vegas without problem.
