Question Which one best wireless carriers?

1. Sprint - data plan is great!

2. AT&T - Iphone is ok but price still up.

3. T-Mobile - SK screw up but BB is fine.

4. Verizon - Unfriendly to deaf community and price too expensive!

Sprint- I use BB 8330 as PAM(Phone as modem), text, IM, and google maps a lot and work great for my business travel and student.

AT&T- Everything good for mostly mobile but iPhone's plan is rip off.

T-Mobile-Nothing to wrong with T-mobile. It's Danger/M$ fault.

Verizon- There is deaf plan for few years. (Point to Poweron's post)

I'm Verizon user and your comment is somewhat not true but Verizon has more 3G coverage than all other US carriers, very friendly customer service, organized tech service and most network reliable so this price is satisfied for me, it is just like $15 difference so not much when you put extra for better service.

I think I will switch to Sprint or Verizon someday because of better 3G coverage, EV-DO connection, etc. My contract doesn't expire until Nov 2010.

Please read my post again and if you don't like it so don't goes to Verizon, I don't care if you are whining about monthly bill so everything is rip off so nothing could you do.

FCC wouldn't do everything when come price, only FTC do but limited thing to do with price.

Yup, that's right.

FTC is consumer agency that protect customer's rights and regulate on pricing and plans.

FCC take care of radio frequent, network, electronic, etc but not pricing or plans.

I am still not so fond of Verizon. Its maybe not the company but our local office. When I have to go there they really treat me as an oddity. Think I told about it in another thread. We have a family plan. We are supposed to have individual service within the plan. They told me if I wanted the "accessibility" plan that my whole family would have to be on it. They are either very rude or overly patronizing.

I am following this thread with interest due to our local VZ office.

Two factors you did not mention ...

How much you willing to pay?

and

Which cell provider have best signal for your area. AT&T? Sprint? Verzion?




I know iPhone 3GS will be 50 dollar a month on Deaf Plan via AT&T provider.

I do not know which provider is MT3G or if a Deaf plan is offered for MT3G maybe someone else here can answer that question for you.

I love Sprint, and I am a RIT student... I was using my Sidekick with T-Mobile service and it doesn't not work in classroom in basement... and until finally I got a new Blackberry Tour from Sprint and what do you know? The service works, and I was able to use IM and text, it works! Go Sprint!
