I was wondering what cell phone service you guys use. I have sprint and my wife has cingular. We are looking at getting a family plan on one or the other.
thanks

I like T-mobile...but some people here don't like the reception. It all depends on where you live and what areas you'll be frequenting. Like anywhere...it's where they got the repeaters. I think T-mobile has a fairly good family plan. Something to consider...

 

I've got t-mobile and I like them. I don't know about their family plans though. I've heard verizon has the best reception, sprint seems expensive, and I don't know for sure, but I didn't see an option for unlimited nights and weekends w/cingular so that doesn't work for me.

 

As mentioned by above posters, T-Mobile is quite good. I have their 600 whenever minutes + Unlimited weekends for $39.99 + Tax. They may have more attractive plans by now. There family plan is not too shabby.

 

we had the sprint family plan, but someone hacked into account and bought a couple phones on our account. it was a big headache to clear and we didnt get back all our money at the end. i will never use them again. besides, the reception was really junk.

we have the t-mobile family plan. i cannot remember off hand how much it costs, but the price is very good. reception is not too bad.

i do have a hard time getting reception in my hospital, however. our hospital has a dedicated cingular antenna, so anyone with cingular gets excellent reception in the hopsital.

 

Don't forget to ask about special discounts, like the discount Cingular gives to the military (or at least AT&T used to give them.)

 

Got sprint, have had them since "99.

I have 1500 anytime, 3000 nights and weekends, free sprint to sprint, no long distance fee's, wireless web, unlimited texting, and 10% off my Insurance (USAA); for $49.99. Had bargin alot to get it. There is a trick to get it, it's a little trickey but persistance pays.

 

I have Verizon on Maui, and I used my phone on Oahu for about 2 months. Reception seemed fine on both islands.

 

i have sprint now, and my contract is up so i think i am going to switch to cingular b/c my wife's contract isnt up yet. Also i think we are only going to be in hawaii for a year and a half, then guam, so i dont know if guam has cell towers or not, and i dont want to have to pay another cancellation fee.

 

I have ALLTEL and I know some of ya'll are wondering who the hell is this company. Their not a small company FYI. They don't do commericals until recently I seen one on TV. Anyways, I think the advantage of this company compared to sprint for a fact is. I can change my plan whenever or how many times I want to without having to renew my contract for another 2yr. I've change my plan some many countless times because I try to catch as many deals as I can. I've been with them over 1 1/2yrs and my contract will be ending this year real soon. Honestly I think I'm going to be staying with them. I've been in places where my buddies have had the top dogs so you speak like sprint and verizon in which some cases I've have had the better signal. I'm not saying ALLTEL is the best but to some extent all cell phone companies do use the same towers. I've left sprint because their customer service sucks ***** seriously. My 2cents!

 

i dont know why this thread got moved here, it was in the pacific category b/c i am moving to hawaii

 

I've got T-Mobile and couldn't be happier... Had Verizon prior to this, reception was good, customer service sucked donkey nuts....

 

i recommend Verizon Nobody puts more $$ into their network than them.

 

Got Verizon. Great Reception everywhere you go. Service is descent also.

 

I've got Cingular....family plan is great plus rollover minutes rule. Not to mention they have by far the best selection of phones since they are a GSM network. Coverage is great everywhere I go too including here in NC, TX, and Norcal.

 

Another T-mobile plan here, good reception so far (1000 anytime with nights and weekends for 45.99/mo). Dont like Sprint in my area, very unreliable connections.

 

MODS, why did this get moved from teh pacific category to here?

 

+1. This shouldn't be here. The original poster only wanted replies from people in Hawaii about cell phone service in Hawaii. After it got moved, he started getting replies from people as far away as the East Coast. The only legit reason for moving it would be to get a response from forum members who used to live in Hawaii and may have an idea about cell service.

 

lol i work for t mobile nobody touches our plans but have them do a coverage check to make sure the service will work for u
