Tired of AT&T Wireless!

Do they offer T-Mobile where you live? That's the service provider I have and I don't have any qualms with them. I'm on an individual plan, but I hear their family plans are actually reasonable. My only complaint is that I don't always get service in my basement, which is annoying, but I'll live. I've heard bad things about both Sprint and Verizon, which I should warn you about. Sprint, I hear, is much more expensive than T-Mobile and Verizon, but I also hear that despite Verizon Wireless' proud slogan, their service really isn't all that great - a friend of mine has CONSTANT problems with her phone blipping in and out.

Ohhhh AT&T ... If only we could put them out of business like now. If all their customers would all of a sudden say guess what rotten service charges that don't belong etc. fix it or we don't pay. and not pay them a penny. maybe they would be forced to fix their issues. Yeah right Im fooling myself I know. We have had their service for 6months now and we hate it. Every single month I am calling to get the bill correct. We have data and internet blocked with unlimited text. We still get charged data. Data for what no one has down loaded ring tones games nothing. Their excuse now is its picture messaging . We have a family plan also and it should never be over $150.00 with service charges and taxes etc. Yet just like you we will get the bill for $220.00 to 250.00. I wish we weren't tied into a 2yr contract because they would be gone finished over. I'm not sure we can handle another 18 months with them. I use to have Verizon and when this nightmare is over the fiance has already been told back to verizon I go.

If you don't need a lot of frills on your phone but just need one to talk on that works well with a good signal almost everywhere and gives you unlimited minutes for about $55.00 a month then go to Boost. They have simple phones like that and then they have phones that take pictures and video and have two way and all the new stuff but you can't beat their prices. Just stay away from T-Mobile because they cheated me real bad and I will never consider that company again no matter what deal they offered me.

I am with Verizon Wireless, and I have no problems with them at all. The only thing I don't like is the fact that all providers charge an exorbitant cancellation fee, and to me that isn't fair, becasue they make you beholden to them, so you can't cancel without paying an arm and a leg. I have been with only for a year and a half, and I do like the fact tehy do have nice phones, and I have never had it to where I got disconnected, whereas before when I had t-mobile, I couldn't talk inside buildings as I would have no slervice and get sisconnected. It isn't that way with Verizon. May, I suggess, you just chck each one out and see which one works bet for you. Take care, and ahppy mylotting.

Hi scottcoleson, I hate AT&T as well, TMobile is the best company I have ever dealt with as far as cell phone providers go. I currently don't have a cell phone because I'm out of work with his awful economy, however my last phone was a Sidekick iD through TMobile and I had no problems with the phone or the service. I did have prepaid though, I use to have a plan with them but it was too expensive. I stuck with the prepaid for the Sidekick since it was a $1.00 a day for unlimited Internet, Instant Messenger Systems and Text Messaging. I hardly talked on the phone because I hate talking on the phone so it was perfect for me, I only used the phone part when it was an emergency or I really had to speak with someone. I use to have AT&T but I disliked their phones, plans and customer service, everything about it was just awful. I believe every company is charging fairly high prices right now because of the economy, and even though cell phones are a priority a lot of people have them and consider them a necessity. All the things the different providers make you pay for is insane, as far as ring tones, applications, text messaging(Even the plans are outrageous if you ask me). I've even had issues where I signed up for something or a certain plan and they messed it up and my bill ended up higher but they wouldn't fix it, they blamed me, even though the customer is supposedly always right, haha that's a laugh!! This happened when I had TMobile so even though I didn't have problems with the company when I had prepaid, I did have issues when it came to having a contract plan. That is another way they get you is contract plans, their awful but it's just the way they work. I disliked Verizon when I had them, mainly their customer service but most of my friends and family have Verizon and seem to like it. As far as Sprint, I personally heard they stink but I've never had a phone through them, I never cared for the phones they carried or their plans I wish you luck and hope you find a provider you can be happy with.

I have boost mobile with unlimited text, call, and internet for $50 a month. There service isn't too bad except for the occasional late textd. I was thinking of getting att because I really want the iphone but i keep hearing bad things about their service so I guess maybe I'll double think it now.

I can completely understand where you are coming from when you say that AT&T service and even customer service is not at all great. I've had them and I always had dropped calls and yes they always found something as well to charge on my phone. The two companies that I recommend if they are available in your area is T-Mobile I actually have a cell phone with them and I have had no problems at all and also I would recommend Verizon. I do think that they're plans are pricey, but they have really good service. My whole family but me has had that company and there is no qualms with them. I wouldn't recommend Sprint, the customer service is horrible and I don't think that the reception is all that well. I used to have them and had horrible service, as well as I worked for them.

At@T are nothing but rip-off artists. Their goal is to make money as is any other self-respecting compnay, but they claim to have the best service, so the demand remains high for them. Currently I have T-mobile, and it is ten times better and cheeper then the other major carriers. I have an unlimited talk plan for 90/month, for up to five lines all unlimited minutes no strings attached. My bill is 138/ month, and that's because I decided to to pay for texting seperattly because I only needed it on one line. I've got insurance (which I'm considering dropping) too, and if I do my bill should go down another ten bucks. But I have yet to do that. They do have unlimited plans that are not that expencive and they include text and web if needed. I hivghly recommend them.

Whatever you do don't switch to Bell, they are worse.
