What is the best cell phone provider out there in terms of quality and cost?

This is a follow up to a question I asked earlier about cell phone providers that have unlimited night and weekend calls. I am going to switch from Virgin Mobile soon.What is the best cell phone provider out there in terms of quality and cost?
Tmobile has the best customer service and the best bang-for-your-buck. But lousy service (if you're in the country, don't expect reception) they have great phones



Cingular has decent plans and decent customer service but again, the coverage is not that good but they have great phones



Alltel is rather expensive with their plans and their phones are kind of blah and horrible customer service good coverage nationwide



Verizon has decent plans as long as you dont add on any unnecessary features like (v-cast, thats the biggest waste of money ive ever seen) and their texting plan is a little overpriced but they have good phones and good customer service and decent coverage



Sprint has horrible customer service and they tried to constantly charge me for things I never ever heard of or had! and their phones are blah service is decent sometimesWhat is the best cell phone provider out there in terms of quality and cost?
Don't know about cost...they're all groaners! For quality, we live in a difficult reception area and found that for coverage we *needed* Verizon. We tried others. It has proved the best not only here but in all travels.What is the best cell phone provider out there in terms of quality and cost?
the 2 best= cingular and tmobile

verizon is dumb no good phones rlly

Depends...if u want prepaid...

cingular is best. if u want regular plan-tmobile is best. it has the coolest phones and more minutes for ur money!
We have Verizon at home and at work and we love it. At home we have 3 phones on the same plan, use the phone all day and the bill is pretty cheap. Went to the mountains with the in-laws. They all have Sprint and they had no reception while we did. Mother in law can't even use her phone in town most of the time because for some reason Sprint has her on roaming in her own town and she refuses to answer the call if her phone is on roaming. My daughter had Cingular and she and her boyfriend paid for unlimited text messages, yet when she got her bill- they still charged her 25 cents per message and her bill was 900. Check them all out before you buy something you'll be stuck with for 2 years.
