I've had Cell South for 15 or so years and my contract is coming up in november. Well, their phone choice is very limited so I'm thinking about changing. How are some of the other services as far as coverage? I know cell south, (Cspire) is great. I was getting a signal out on Cat Island this spring
I had Verizon which was Alltell at the time I had it and now I have c spire, all I can tell ya is cspire is alot better than Alltell was. I couldnt tell ya bout Verizon now cuz I been with cspire for about eight years now.
I have ATandT but only because my wife is retired from them and we get a deal. If not for that I would have C Spire
I got AT&T and can post from bout anywhere.
What kind a phone ya lookin fer? Cspire has iPhone and the Galaxy's.

what kind of phone you looking for???
Stay with Cspire DD, they are bout the best out there. You know the areas that I travel putting in these satellites and I have some very remote areas that I loose signal in but the majority of the time I can talk or text from any where in the state.
DD have you been in acspire store lately? They got more different phones than you can shake a stick at, but like minner said they got I-phone and Galaxy. Hold out until the Galaxy III gets here, it'll blow the doors off the apple.
maj, my contract is coming up.........i have the galaxy s and im not pleased with it at all. it keeps freezing, and i nhave to remove the battery sometimes several times a day, and the navigation does not work. thinking about going with th i phone..............what makes you say the galaxy III is better, thanks.Quote:

minner, ive read about a few complaints with the i phone 5............mainly the change from google maps to apple maps. also, it scratches easily, display light leaks from a few spots, etc. im debating between the 5, the 4s, and the galaxy 3. here is the link about the i phone 5.Quote:

I have the Galazy S now and don't have the problems you describe. The new III has bigger screen, still has "swipe" which I really like and other advantages. I'll see if I can find the side by side comparison. The new touch screen on the i-phone has lots of reported issues. The company that makes them for Apple just not got them fixed, that's one of the reasons that they "sold out" so fast, there just weren't enough to keep up with expected sales.Quote:

Early reports are that the I phone 5 is having alot of glitches and problems. I couldnt say for sure because I have the Moto Droid 3 and I love it. No probs whatsoever. My kids both have the I phones and I tell ya as far as apps and operating I dont see the big deal. JMO
Aint looked lately at what they have. Just know nessa aint gonna let me spend 300-400 on one lol
You won't have to spend that if you extend your contract for two more years, whether you go with Apple or Samsung.Quote:

Read a article recently in time mag on phone service. Cspire got one of the top ratings from everyone where they had coverage. ATT got one of the lowest but that's what I have and have never had a problem with service anywhere in the US. Also it is the only one I could get to work here at the house. Had Verizon no go, had a company phone with Sprint and couldn't get reception anywhere.
I have At&t as well--used it from Canada to the philippines and everywhere in between--some of the older phones werent as good but the newer one's get reception everywhere--
I travel all over the place and you cannot beat cspire for coverage, i currently have an apple iphone4 and no problems.
Guess I'll see what kinda deals they have for me when my contract is up. I got the HTC hero last time. Folks kepot sayin is was running the battery down but I turned off all the stuff that was running in the background and never had much problem
You really need to do that on any of them Don

Cspire has the others beat hands down on coverage. AT &T or Verizon is way behind them in coverage. I have had all 3. Go with Cspire and get ya a Gallexy III. The Version sales person that comes by the school has a Cspire phone he keeps hidden so he knows he will have service all the time.
DH.....mine started doing that the second week I had it.....I took it back to the phone store and they gave me a new one.....been over a year now and no problems. I guess my first one was just a dud. My wife never had a problem with hers.Quote:

Ha ha...tell us how you really feel Scott lol. I know what you mean though......sometimes you cant get a signal with any of them. I have one spot about four miles from my house where the signal is good most of the day untill about 3:00 pm and then you can forget it. When I go to Sardis the signal comes and goes......sometimes I cam move just a few feet and get one.

iPhone. More apps than all the others combined, and more coming everyday. I use AT&T and don't have any problems. Just like any other provider that transmits a signal over the air, there will be weak or dead spots. I have talked on my AT&T phone from Horn Island, and all across the U.S.
DD I was with aft for years and did not know how bad their service was until o got c spire. Works on the river where att wouldn't
