    Hi.I have had all 4 providers believe it or not. I had Verizon for the longest time. AT&T I signed up for in 2005 but ditched the service in 2006.I just got treated poorly as a customer like I didn't matter.My service was even cut off without getting a notification. Then I signed up for Sprint after AT&T. The service was cheap yes, but....service was HORRIBLE. Customer care was a joke. I'd get lots of dropped calls. I ditched Sprint after contract was up. In 2009 I signed up with T-mobile.Have had excellent experience with the service.I really like it. The plan was cheap and I wanted the G1 so I got it.

    To this day I have T-mobile and Verizon.Verizon has more coverage available in places to me then T-mobile. Just coming from experience here. T-mobile is cheaper then Verizon. If you want cheaper and affordable go with T-mobile,but make sure you get good service in your area by T-mobile.Click the coverage map on their site to see if you do.

    My answer is definitely Sprint. Compared to the other carriers, Sprint has the best plans, and their 'unlimited' data is actually UNLIMITED, unlike the others, so no big surprises on the bill. Many will say Verizon or AT&T, but for the money, the service area (by the way, all of them have the best coverage, depending on your address), the device selection, and the customer support, Sprint wins on all counts. I left T-mobile almost 3 years ago.

    AT&T = worst service and worst customer service and pricing, no 4G, No unlimited available

    Tmobile = Good Customer service, best pricing, spotty coverage in some areas. Everything except 4g can be unlimited. 4G slows down to 2G after your limit rather than overage charges.

    Sprint = Good coverage, lacking 4G or no 4G in most areas, True Unlimited, price is high for what you get.

    Verizon = Best coverage and performance, No longer offers unlimited data, Much more expensive than tmobile.

    If you are not concerned about 4G internet and are fine with 3G then I recommend Cricket. They use Verizons towers so you get great service quality for about half the price. Be warned though, their phone support is terrible. If you ever need help you are better off visiting a local Cricket store than calling their phone support.

  • It depends on where you live. I live in a rural area and AT&T has the best service here. Verizon has the next best service here at about the same price. T-mobile and sprint have better prices but they don't have service where i live. You might want to check service maps to see which carrier has the best service where you live.

    Verizon has good ,yet their shopper help is genuinely non-existent. sprint has good insurance, yet they tend to be costly. T-cellular has a good sign counting on the place you're, has great shopper help, and has plans for any finances. AT&T is like Verizon sign-sensible, and somewhat greater useful shopper help. i do no longer likely understand off-hand how their plans are with out performing some learn. i in my view have T-cellular, so i'm somewhat biased to them, yet I even have had assorted good reviews interior the three years i've got been with them. yet often, i'd propose the two AT&T or T-cellular.

    I would have to say Verizon. I just got my cell phone, an I am really happy with it. You can text other Verizon people for free, and you can get a shared plan. Also they have great coverage, and my bill isn't too high!!

    okay i would say compare prices with verizon and at&t and look at their service map.. depending on where you live you might not get great service with one.

    sprint is always good, but sometimes the quality just isnt there.. hope this helped!!
