a lot of people swear by verizon.
I use t-mobile, and live either at the top of a hill or in a concrete buiding. It does okay in those places. Outdoors it's great and never drops a call. Just far indoors it sucks.
Cingular was worse than t-mobile with the same phone when I compared them, but that was a couple years ago. I've also heard that sprint sucks from a few people.
I need to switch carriers right now for a free phone unless t-mobile wants to buy me one. Let me know what you pick.

Good point. I think a large percentage here is either verizon or tmobile. Or Nextel.
I've been looking at plans, and I should have taken the offer to re-sign with tmobile a few months ago because nothing can beat 700 min, unlimted N/W, handful of free texts for $40. Everything else I looked at for $40 has 500 or LESS minutes....
Let us know.

Re: cell phone service in HI
Verizon definately has the best coverage... and that's what really matters right? Sucks when you're driving through the gorge on H2 and your call cuts out... when I had sprint it did that all the time, never had it happen with Verizon.
That, and it works better on nborth shore... the only bad place is around Waimea bay (more Waimea falls, I can get it to work in Waimea bay)
