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

When my friend went to UTI in PA he had Nextel and hated it, I visited him a few times and always had good service (cingular).
