I personally have sprint and i have the samsung instinct which sucks but i am getting the hero soon which is an android phone. the pros with sprint are the prices and the first 4G and great phones. the cons are that sprint will not let you get a phone upgrade for 2 years or you can pay full price but i mean i am not going to pay 600 dollars for a brick that i am going to drop all the time and eventually break and also the 4G is very limited to only a couple of cities. i think that the top two cell phone companies are sprint and verison because of there great services and low prices. what are your views?

My phone is still 3g and this is mine. this can be used with any GSM provider and i generally use two services, 1 is idea and other is Reliance. in india the calling rates are too cheap and it is hard even some time to decide which service provider we must go far.

I currently have t-moible & I have blackberry 9700 through them. I'm paying around $90 & some change for their unlimited plan. For what I use it for & the places I use it in, I don't have any problems at all. I had phone through sprint but I didn't like them too much. Tmobile's unlimited plan includes unlimited calls & messages & blackberry plan for $79.99 & with taxes & fees, it comes out to $90.48/month. I know sprint charges $99.99 plus taxes & fees. I know sprint gives you few other options, like push to talk & tvs on your phone, but nothing that I really care to use so I'd rather spend $20/month less.

I have T-mobile. Right now I've got the shadow. My phone is okay but the keyboard is a bit difficult to use at the moment. But, I'm upgrading. Good thing you can upgrade early for a month and based on your credit history and other factors. They also provide you the option to pay off any phone you want. Their prices actually beat sprint and 3g coverage is expanding.

Hello Jesoccer! You have not mentioned your country from which you are as it depends from country to country that which mobiles have more value. I am from India and here we have so many companies which have tough fight whether that is Nokia,Samsung, Sony Ericisson, Motrola... so on... counting goes on... There are large number of service providers as well which try to provide their best services to compete in Indian market. They try to reach the customers with their quality of service. I am using two mobiles..one is of Nokia and another is of Sony. I am happy with Nokia and service I am using is from Vodafone which is well known in the world for its quality services.

I have used cellphone of some companies and below is my view Sony ericsson - Nice sound quality but battery drains very soon Motorola - A perfect phone but no user friendly and bit slow Nokia - Good user friendly but costlier for even the basic features where as the companies offer them for lower price. Samsung - Not used but heared from others that battery life is not good. iphone - a trendy phone but has its own disadvantages I prefer a phone (as on date) that has a bluetooth, camera minimum 2mp, wifi and 3g.

I have Nokia, Motorola, Spice and Micromax however my Favorite is Nokia, very user friendly. Good Battery backup and the best think I like about Nokia is its Charger, easily available as most of the crowed uses NOKIA.

right now i'm using nokia n82 which is a very good phone with better features. i've been using it for more than a year and a half now. i've used a variety of phones in the last few years...starting with motorola L6, nokia 3250, sony ericsson w610i, nokia n81, and finally nokia n82. i've also used sony ericsson c510i also. overall i prefer nokia smartphones for their ease of use and features.

Well i have had quite alot of phones. here are some of them Nokia: The phones Nokia used to manufacture were quite good but now Nokia has started decreasing its quality. Before even if you dropped the phone from a great height nothing used to happen. But now its making cheap phones quality wise. They break easily. Makes good and costly phones but not good quality. Sony Ericsson: Phones are good and dependable(especially have good speakers) but very costly with no support for features. Lg: Phones with incomplete features. Have had a very bad experience with this company. HTC: Well this company provides good phones and of nice quality but battery backup is quite low. Asus: Provide good phones(i am using a phone from Asus currently) user,friendly. cheaper than HTC with the same features. Very nice quality with windows platform but again the same problem, battery life is low.

I've been with Verizon for a few years and they're great. The monthly bill is a little more then some of the other companies, but their service is, in my opinion, unbeatable. I've never been to a place where I don't have service. I don't even think that I've ever been down to one or two bars of service.

Hi, jesoccer. I have not heard too many good things about Sprint Mobile PCS. I have an Net10 and a Tracfone. All of them are prepaid cell phones.

I am with Verizon, and I have been with them almost 2 years. I don't mind Verizon to much as their coverage area is quite extensive, whereas others the coverage area isn't all that great. I had T-Mobile before I had Verizon, and I wouold get drop alls left and right, and I don't with Verizon. that is one reason I switched, as I got tired of the dropped calls. T-Mobile is cheaper though, but I don't really like their phones. I just upgraded with Verizon in Auguse of last year, so I have to wait to upgrade, in late summer early fall. I am like you, though, that I won't pay mucho bucks for a phone, as it is just crazy to do that. Take care, and have a great day.

In case of cell phones that you mention here,I haven't got a chance to use them.In India where I live we well offered with the chances of using phones by Nokia , Samsung , LG , Motorola ,Sony and all,yet there are newer and many other new companies on the run.The foreign models including the expensive and high end phones are available but they are not that common as one would see in our country. I use a phone of Nokia called 2700 classic,its a average multimedia phone with a 2mp camera ,2gb memory,other features like music player,blue-tooth ,not a 3G etc. For my daily use its actually perfect when it come to high resolution pictures and streaming Internet then its matter of big concern and I would thus prefer to save more and more of my money and getting the newest and perfect phone available when its time! Enjoy with your new buy of the 4G phone,tell me if its as great using as would imagine!

I had Verizon and hated them. My husband and I always made our payments on time, but yet they would call us two days after we made a payment and ask for another payment. I am looking for a new cell phone company and am not sure who to go with. I know money has been tight with my husband and I, but we need one for his work. His boss has been getting on his case for not having a cell phone, but his boss will not give him one nor will his boss give my husband enough hours to get our bills paid.
