Verizon or T-Mobile?

for Verizon, I'd pick the LG VX-9450, the upcoming phone that will feaeature Vcast TV.





For T-Mobile, I'd pick a razr with a music player and 2mp camera with myfaves. (razr v3t).





The reason that I'm spit between the two is that Verizon has the best mobile enterainment, but Tmobile has the best messaging plans.





Any word on pricing for VCast TV? I know that T-Mobile's text messaging plans leave Verizon bleeding on the ground, but Verizon's media packages leave T-Mobile scarred.





OK, so here are my questions





Which is more important to you, Mobile entertainment, or messaging?





AND





Which would you choose, T-Mobile or Verizon

Verizon or T-Mobile?
It seems everyone who's responded so far is a Verizon fan. I've personally been with T-Mobile ever since they were called Voicestream...so that'd be for 6+ years now. I'm very happy with T-Mobile service. I've never had a problem with reception.





It really depends on where you are. Certain service providers have better reception in certain areas. I live in downtown Chicago, a lot of people I know have T-Mobile and love it.





One more thing to consider aside from phones, entertainment plans, and messaging...T-Mobile operates on a GSM network. Basically, all you need to know is that GSM networks use the SIM cards which stores your phonebook, all your texts, and some pictures if you set it to save it. This means that anytime you want to switch phones (like from a Motorola to a Samsung) all you have to do is take the SIM card out of your old phone, put it in your new phone, and everything is there and ready to go. You wouldn't believe how convenient this is. Verizon, however, requires you to go in the store and have them download/backup/transfer your stuff from your old phone to your new phone...it's a little more of a pain in the a-s-s.





Another thing to consider. Since T-Mobile and Cingular both use GSM networks, if you ever decide to switch between these two companies but you really want to keep using the cell phone you already have, all you'd have to do is get that cell phone unlocked (a quick phone call to the service provider) to operate on other GSM networks and you're done. You can keep your original SIM card in there with all your phone numbers, texts, etc etc.





Basically what I'm saying is that in the 6+ years I've been with T-Mobile, I've NEVER had to re-enter my entire phonebook like you hear of so many people doing. I mean, how many times have you received one of these e-mails or heard something similar in nature: "Hey everyone, I just got a new cell phone and I need all your phone numbers again so can you please send it to me?" All I've ever had to do was take my SIM card out of one phone and put it in another. Really the only time you'd have to re-enter numbers when using a GSM network is when you lose your cell phone altogether (and therefore lose your SIM card).





But like I said before, I think reception and ease of use (hassle-free) are most important. I think ease of use heavily favors T-Mobile. As for reception, I'd just check the coverage in your area and see what people say. Besides, most cell phone companies give you 2-3 weeks to play around with everything. If reception sucks with one, you can always return the phone and cancel your contract without a penalty and take your business to the other provider.





Hope this helps you make a better decision!

Reply:Verizon, better plans, better phones/features, cheaper, not to mention the coverage map on verizon is 100000 times better than T-Mobile
Reply:Verizon!





T-Mobiles Receptions Sucks! I couldn't even get decent reception in my own house and the representatives told me I would have great reception. I ended up paying 200 dollars to end my contract because it just sucked.
Reply:the most important to me is coverage. I'm in West. NY and Tmobile coverage here sucks so I'd go with Verizon. I have Verizon and it works everywhere. People who have t mobile lose calls all the time.





But if those were the only 2 reasons, I'd pick messaging. I message alot and could care less about mobile entertainment.

Reply:I don't know about the entertainment part, but T-Mobile has really bad coverage. I used to have T-Mobile and it wasn't good. So I'd say Verizon.
