My wife and I are nTelos and my son is Trac Phone pay as you go.

I think ntelos has the best coverage and many of the others share their signal. (Sprint)

I had Alltel and dropped calls all the time.

Those that use Verizon. I am looking at upgrading my phone. I would like a slider. Any word on how well the LG Venus or Samsung sway works?

Yeah, seriously. I mean, I know their coverage stinks here, but come on. They're the second major carrier in the U.S.

I use Verizon and I havent had problems with reception around campus, although being able to look up ringtones or get picture messages (especially after my friend Sean got engaged) is pretty much impossible.
