    Verizon works best for me.
    The company cell is an Altell that works ok too
    My three favorite things about Pilot Truck Stops are; coffee, cups and lids.

    My company issued me a Sprint/Nextel phone. It loses its signal way more than my personal phone which is through AT&T.

    Use Verizon. Currently I have a Motorola phone. Awful battery life.

    Anyone use the Verizon G'z one or whatever that dust/waterproof model is?

    Here is a link that shows many iPhones are being unlocked so they can be used with a different carrier than AT&T. Just goes to show what kind of company they are if users don't want to have coverage through them but want the iPhone.

They own a number of towers and don't even have one of their sat's on the thing but they rent it out to all the other carriers to use.

    I have always had Motorola phones and had no problems with batteries. If your phone can't hold a charge for long anymore, it's time for a new battery. I bought a extended battery for mine, lasts twice as long.

    Motorola phone ( V325) has had a problem with some of their phone's batteries. We have 5 Motorola phones. 2 have not had any problem. 3 have. Even with new batteries 2 of them still would hold a charge of more than a couple of hours. In fact one phone was replaced by Verizon and it wasn't any better.

    V276, which might be a slightly older version of the 325. Three in my family. Two of us complain about battery life, the third person never charges hers so it's hard to get a data point. Problems have been from new. My biggest concern is the wholly unpredictable nature of battery life. Sometimes it will wait for a week in standby, sometimes two days. No roaming (sorry, not OTR yet )

    And there's no way I'm buying a battery for a phone I'm replacing in April.

    I heard something about Alltel (I think) allows up to like 20 numbers to be called without charging minutes to you. Would work great for my wife and I since we have maybe 12 contacts combined, only Alltel service is crap in my area. They haven't gotten any towers around me yet, the closest is Charlottesville.

    T-Mobile not a bad system for local area. But unless they have change a bunch not much good for OTR.

    I've had every carrier I think you can have at one time or the other. The best I had was Cingular with my tri-mode phone then AT&T bought them out and I switch service. I will not deal with AT&T.

    I've got Verizon now. While the service seem to be all right. But what I don't like is they disable some of features on my phone and I had to purchase some software to get them back.

    I have tmobile. when I was on the road i rarely dropped a call. Even On i 70 through colorado and even in ne utah. Even In places I rarely had a signal with other carriers. the nice thing about them is i have 1000 whenever minutes and we share these between me and the wifes phone. it only runs us like 56 a month plus taxes and such. we have free roaming and cell to cell calling...... had the my 5 thing and it was great but didnt use it more than calling each others phones and now that most in my family is on tmobile it really isnt nessasary.
