I had Cingular for about 5 or so years (they were first Comcast, then Cellular One, then Cingular). Tons of dropped calls, and crappy reception. I finally went with Verizon almost two years ago, and will NEVER go with anyone else. Verizon may not have the best "deals," but they have the best service. I remember I was on the phone with a Cingular rep right before I was going to get rid of my service. She said, "But we offer rollover minutes, Verizon doesn't." I said, "What good is having all those extra minutes when I can never talk to anyone cuz they are always dropped?!?!" She didn't say anything! LOLOL Plus, when I had Cingular, my mom actually told me NOT to call her on my cell anymore, b/c she was tired of saying, "I can't hear you...I can't hear you."
