What cell phone company has the best plans and rates?

Well in the philippines I suggest GLOBE because they give out free phones along with their plans.

I guess there's no 1 universal answer that would fit everyone but I think tmobile is pretty good... I'm pretty sure if you ask enough people, you will run into some that don't like that company... That being said, I know metro pcs has pretty decent plans as far as unlimited plans go... But I noticed their coverage isn't that good... But then again, if it works for your purpose, then great... T-Mobile has few options that will make your phone calls somewhat "unlimited"... First, they have "myfav" plan which gives you 5 phone numbers that you can call "unlimited"... Even though plan itself will have limited buckets of minutes, if you only call few people constantly, then it may work out for you... Then they have "unlimited hotspot" calling option you can add on to just about any plan you pick... It says "unlimited hotspot" but it doesn't have to be their hotspot only... It can be any wireless router... They have phones that will link to the "open" router, ones that are not password protected or ones you have passwords to, & make unlimited calls... I know verizon also offers almost samething as tmobile's "myfav" plans now where you can pick 5 most calls numbers & have them unlimited but verizon is little more expensive than tmobile... If I were you, I'd check their web-sites & check the coverages on places where you hang out or work the most & pick one that has the best coverage for those places... I didn't mean to sound like a salesperson... I do have tmobile myself but I have their unlimited plan for $99.99 & blackberry plan for additional $19.99... I would pick metro pcs but according to their coverage map, most of the times, I would be paying for their "roaming" charges so it would come out more than what I'm paying with tmobile...
