I've just recently moved to San Diego. I currently live just west of Lemon Grove and work near Mira Mesa. I was wondering if anybody could help me with any suggestions on a carrier that gets fairly good coverage and signal where I live, work and on campus at SDSU. I appreciate any help people can offer. I have Verizon right now but my contract is up and I'm month to month. Not having early nights and weekends eats up my minutes very quickly. I'm trying find a cheaper alternative to keep in touch with friends and family in the midwest and on the east coast.

Let me give you some resources. Get the links to all California Cellular Carriers.
Then look up How to Switch Carriers.
Some of the cheaper alternatives are to use T-Mobile's "My Favs" with unlimited calling to 5 friends, 24/7. Or subscribe to the same carrier as your friends and use MobiletoMobile minutes. Otherwise, Look at Cricket unlimited.

according to consumerreports, verizon is always the top carrier for service everywhere, especially SoCal. Alltell is very close. T-Mobile, ATT, and Nextel/Sprint are horrible. dont even think about getting them. on their website it shows that if you get the VZW Select package, you get unlimited nights and weekends and free calling to anyone with verizon and unlimited messages. 450 minutes starts at 59.99. i think that's a pretty good deal since you get unlimited mssgs which you can send to people that don't have verizon. you can call people that do have verizon since it's free.

I have T-mobile and travel all of San Diego, and Riverside County with no pratically no reception problems/dropped calls. If the T-mo signal does drop for any reason it roams on AT&T for free.

I have T-mobile as well and haven't had any problems getting reception. I'm very satisfied with the service so far.
