What better way to test a service provider than test them out live.

I grabbed one of these CDMA Digital phone with Analog AMPs roaming
abilitys. I took it where I spend most of my time.

It doesn't work. The coverage is not there. I get 0 to 1 bars and I
can here the person on the other line, but they cannot here me. They
just get static when I talk. (I called my land line to test.)

The Cingular phone gets 3-5 bars and works just fine.

Most important about a service provider is that the service you are
purchasing works for you. Since Sprints towers are located in bad
places relative to where I am, since this service does not work for me,
then I am limited to T-Mobile, D'ampd(Nextel), or Cingular.

T-Mobile has great prices but horrible coverage in this state. It has
coverage where I usualy am located. D'ampd is expensive. Then there
is Cingular.
