Lessee - Here in Bend, Verizon is buying Unicel. AT&T is buying Edge.
In the Portland area, I suspect either is just fine. Jobob has a great GPS service with her Verizon service.Last edited by SadieKate; 02-15-2008 at 01:00 PM.

We have Cingular which is formerly AT&T and is now AT&T once again. I have no idea how that works.
We have no complaints. I've heard wonderful things about Verizon but I have no reason to break my contract with AT&T/Cingular. We have a 550 minute family plan with roll-over and it's about $100. We also have text msging, of course, and I have internet access on my phone. I was pricing out other providers and really couldn't get it any lower, especially for two people.
Call quality is ok. We rarely get dropped calls and the places where they happen are predictable. Customer service is good but only because (I suspect) I get my service through the business contract division. I have a different number to call and they are always Very Nice.
That is so exciting that you'll be up here! I read your thread about moving and promptly got busy and never responded. I look forward to meeting you

Welcome! We have cingular/att and like them a lot. There's also one called Cricket that see advertised all over. I don't know much about them though. Might be good to check it out.

Verizon here. Seems to work better out here on the Peninsula than ATT or Cingular, esp more remote areas. Had Verizon for years and seems to work well.

I'm currently on T-Mobile. A few months ago with the heavy rains and flooding their Seattle datacenter got flooded out. I was out of service for a day or so, which IMO is unacceptable for a company of that size to not have switched us over to a backup/disaster recovery service.
I've been considering switching to Cingular/AT&T because I'm interested in rollover minutes, but I'm still plan-shopping.
Verizon's network in the PNW is not as good as it is back east. But it's decent, I had Verizon before T-mobile. I mainly left them due to billing/customer service issues. But, you know what? They're all evil, so just pick your poison.
