Default Pa cell phone users

I am thinking about switching cell phone providers. I have nextel now and there coverage blows. I live outside of philly. Can anyone tell me what provider they use and how they like them? You help is much appreciated.

Cingular. I live outside of philly too. I had verizon, but where I live I get no signal and they wouldn't do anything about it. Switched to Cingular and I get service all over. So its alot better.

I switched from Nextel to Verizon when we moved to Buckingham. I chose Verizon because we get a corporate discount since I work for Johnson & Johnson, but the service is pretty good through central bucks county.

I had cingular, and thought the service sucked and too, I live just outside of philly. They make great phones, but verison is it. I have gone on two power tours and I got awesome service throughout all my travels.
Good luck

Verizon is the best around here, dad has a cingular through his work and service is pretty choppy on his.
