That was scary, I just visited Off-Topic to post a cell phone service question

It's a frat house over there! An all-freshman frat house.

My Treo 270 is croaking, want the 650, only Sprint has it now. Any of you guys particularly love or hate your Sprint service? I've been with T-Mobile for years.

Don't tell me to "^^take it up the ^^pooper, Pismo!", or I'll think I'm back in the other forum...

Glad to see that you made it back alive!!! I believe that phone service

can be good or not so good depending on where you are located. Ive had good experience with both and am presently with Cingular which is equally as good.

They're idiots. Don't go expecting to be able to acquire useful information.

Those days are gone, since the mods quit allowing the old hands to whack the children.

Oh, and to speak to your question, a buddy I used to work with came out of the cellular industry,

and has the best take on your question I've ever heard.

"All cellular sucks. You've just got to pick the service that sucks least, at a given point in time, in your geography."

I've got T-Mobile. I'm not very happy with it, in ATL. Others, in other places, are very happy with them.

You need to talk to people in your geography(s) of interest.

Re: Cell phone service question

I have both Sprint (treo 600) & T-mobile (originally a treo 600 but now use an Audiovoxx PPC 4100) and the services are both okay. Both phones are excellent.

Treo600 (w/ Cingular in Dallas) drops calls more frequently than an old Kycoera.

Great phone it is, though (the Treo).

I work for the 5th largest wireless company and

can say the quality of your reception is due to the coverage in the area you travel. When you are near the cell towers you will have perfect reception with any carrier. I prefer CDMA over GSM or TDMA and would stick with Alltel or Verizon if they have a good footprint in your area.
