Ooops posted too fast:Now w/ Sprint. The best overall so far. Coverage is very good (in my area) and the price is dirt cheap. For slightly more than the 2-phone 1000min. deal I had with Nextel, I have 5 phones 2500min plan that includes insurance and Internet on two of them. Plus, if you go over the 2500min, the only charge you $10 at a time for a bank of 200 more minutes ($5 for 100min on sub 1000min. plans). The overall total cost of this feature blows away Cingular's roll over.

Well, I have sprint and at college they have great reception. But an hour away in my home town they have horrible reception. Even though I should have reception like at college because on the map it says it has sprint digital coverage and I should not be roaming, but my phone says I'm roaming. I don't pay anything for roaming, but still I should have more than 1 bar. Most of the time I don't even have one bar. But on some rare occasions I have 2 maybe 3 bars of strength.

I've had sprint and Verizon.. in my specific area, Sprint has had the better reception, less roaming.. but i hear in other areas Verizon is alot better in those departments.. but what ever works from person to person.

Thanks, clusterfluck, for the info, I always wondered why that happened. However, I have also traveled with a Cingular and US Cellular phone, and did not have to reboot the phone to get calls. Sprint is just too unreliable.
