Cell service providers in the PNW?

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.

we have T-mobile here in the hills...I have no problems with it, but my Dh's Razr doesn't' work as well...I think its the phone more than the service though.

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.

Thanks guys!

It looks like we'll price plans at Verizon and ATT/Cingular when we are there next week. Cool!

And I've not heard the best things about the Razr call quality...no matter what service one uses.

Have T-mobile and I am very happy with the customer service, coverage and quality. But they do seem to have short periods when phone service will not be available for no apparent reason. It doesn't last long but does happen. I live in the Gorge, east of Portland and Verizon does not have good coverage out here. Cingular is fine.
