maybe world-wide minus Louisiana. Nextel service SUCKS here. I was a Nextel customer while they were analog. about 4 months into them switching to digital i got out....there were so many dead spots, that it didn't even make sense to have a cell. I'm on Cingular now and it's pretty alright. get service everywhere but at the lakefront (no towers in the lake).

Cingular

[mrjones]

I'm connected to the Vodacom network, one of 3 in South Africa.
My service provider is Smartcell, which is a devision of Smartcom. They are supposedly among the worst in the country, and I can vouch for that. I am very unhappy with their service (or lack thereof). :mad: :mad:
They only have offices in Johannesburg, and every time I want to apply for a new service (e.g. GPRS, itimised email billing) I have to fax them. Other service providers do this online, but mine seems to be stuck in 1985... :(
Added to that, they have billed me 6 months in advance. And nobody up there can tell me WHY. :mad:

[mjax]

Cingular. Everything is working fine for me so far.

that's a pretty good plan!

im on $20 200min + $8 fidopro (call ID, vm, unlimited SMS)

[ThreePointsix]

Verizon (formally GTE wireless)

same Employee demo line for 6 years now:

Unlimited nationwide for....FREE - never see a bill - service is no better or worse than any other provider. Here in Houston we use 800mhz CDMA. Austin, Dallas, LA & most of the other US cities use 1900 MHZ CDMA. Battery life is double in 1900mhz markets. We suck here in Houston. I have Xtended life batt on my V60 motorola & it goes dead in 24 hrs talking 1 hour a day. In LA my battery lasted ALL weekend.

Customers see me pull up in the slammed C36 & think Im a prick taking all their $$ every month. Then they find out I am just the 'tech' & not the store manager or something & really cant figure it out!

[scottschoe]

dang I just checked out last month's phone bill........over 200 bux for our 4-phone family plan.

sort of......expensive, especially nobody uses a phone hardcore.

somehow i was able to ring up 30 dollars of text messaging on my ex-gf's phone bill :eek: her dad wasn't too happy about that. good thing i have unlimited.

[Shude]

Vodafone

[timc]

Rogers GSM... T68i

2000 anywheres in NA minutes a month plan with unlimited text

Service is ok where i live. But it is the boonies so if you get out of town it is not great if you get off of the Trans Canada Highway

I'm rolling Nokia 7210 on Cingular service

I pretty much have 3000 day, unlimited nights, weekends, MTM, text messages, etc.

So I used up a lot :) It's a family plan. With all the night and weekend minutes + MTM, I use approx 2-3K a month.

My crazy younger bro once used 9000 minutes in one month....
