Best Cell Phone Service for Raleigh (Apex: house, dorm, live)

[rockyraccoon516]

I'm moving to Raleigh in August from Long Island, NY.

What is the best cell phone service for Raleigh?


Thanks,
RR

My daughter lives in North Raleigh and she recently switched from Alltel to Verizon. She seems to like it. There aren't many choices where I live. Of course there is US cellular and Bell South I believe. Do they have Vontage up there anyone?

I used to have Cingular and now I have SunCom, which broke off from Cingular but charges less and uses the same towers. I really like SunCom. Vicki

I have suncom and Ii don't know about everywhere, but in Apex it loses it's signal quite often, It's a samsung phone, and it can have 5 bars in one area of my house even, and then no signal in others.

Our family uses Verizon, and loves it. I hardly ever drop a call. I have a son who attends NC State in Raleigh, and his cell phone was the only phone that I called, never even knew the dorm number.
Now that pesty phone doesn't seem to work in the frat house.....lol......

Any T-Mobile? Thats what we have. We were planning on keeping our Cincinnati numbers for awhile so our family could keep in touch easier.

I use US Cellular, it is the only one that has service way out in the boonies down east.

I have a motorola phone, about a year old, and hardly ever have problems with my Suncom service. I did have a problem with Cingular dropping my calls but one of the workers told me that no matter what...I must turn off my phone for at least a minute every day. Now I don't know what this does...but I hardly have a dropped call at all now. Vicki

I have Nextel and I was told to do the same thing....turn off my phone at least once a day. Supposedly it resets any problems that may have occurred. Think of it this way. Sometimes, for whatever crazy reason, I lose my network connection to my network printer at work. In order to reset the connection, I would have to reboot my pc. This is pretty much the same thing...kind of does a refresh.

Thanks for the replys!

I think I'm going to go with Verizon, my family in NY uses them already & then
we will be able to call each other for free.
