Here is the deal

I heard about this site, thought I may try and set you all straight.

The arguments presented are: Cingular is the best; Verizon is the best; T-Mobile is the best; US Cellular is best, etc.

The problem is: Most base these claims on facts that are mad up, or grossly manipulated. You see, I have worked closely with a wireless carrier for quite some time. I will not disclose that carrier.

SO lets dive into this issue hip deep.

Network quality/coverage:

Cingular- Has the largest all digital network.

Verizon- has the most dependable (according to unbiased un affiliated sources)

T-Mobile- Has a satisfactory sized foot-print, most urban/sub-urban users have dependable coverage.

US CC- Has an Orwellian Nationinal network (Orwe...

Sounds like he is a former Sprint or Nextel employee who was laid off due to the merger and now wants some redemption. I think he is way off in his predictions for Sprint Nextel.

He did have a valid point about the text messaging. That is one of the main reason I left sprint.

actually sprint has been useing sms text messageing for the last year. and sprint has not had one problem with it. they have not hadd any outages. they have also not had any problems with incorrect billing.

yes the old short mail did suck no one will argue that. but the new sms is just as good as any thing out there

Prextel- Is splintered like a door at Chuck Noriss' house. I refer to post merger completion only. To spreak of the two networks in the past would be idiotic. The company has one CDMA, and one iDEN network. Truth of the matter is: Combining, witch is impossible, wouldnt widen the foot-print. Essentially where you get Nextel, you could also get Sprint. All they have is a bigger third place carrier, and a opputunity to let T-Mobile advance in the ranks."

this is wrong. its possible to combine the 2 networks becuase if you recall nextel got contiguous spectrum in the 800mhz becuase of the consensus plan. if you have contiguous spectrum esp in the 800mhz band you can change to cdma. (vzw is on 800mhz cdma)
