Wireless Carriers

This is a request… if you can kindly post the carrier you are using .. I just need the list for US and Canada.. :slight_smile:

thanks

Re: Wireless Carriers

i have ranked the following according to my experience. Coverage varies depending on where you live. One carrier might be excellent at one place but might completely suck at a different location. I live near NYC and i regret to say that i have t-mobile for 2 more years.

AtnT (6/10)
T-mobile (4/10)
Sprint (6/10)
Verizon (8 /10)
Cingular (7 / 10)

Re: Wireless Carriers

You have to tell us your location to get good reviews.

Re: Wireless Carriers

bascially.. just list the carriers in your region, i am not even in US :) i am in canada.. i just need a list of all the wireless carriers..

Re: Wireless Carriers

I produced a report two years ago where I compared the brand awareness and reputation of wireless carriers in Canada. The major ones I discussed in my report were Rogers, Telus, Fido and Bell Mobility. Since then, the industry has undergone major consolidations.

Re: Wireless Carriers

Fill us in, what can u gain from this list on GS that you can't get via some speciality site on the internet?

Re: Wireless Carriers

TofiBaba, i got the list by google.. just posted here so if someone had compiled it before would've saved me time :) i will let you knw in few days what i will gain out of this list :)

Re: Wireless Carriers

As far as I know Rogers & Fido have merged .... Wireless service in North America SUX. Americans/Canadian are decades behind in wireless technology comparing with Europe & Asia.

Re: Wireless Carriers

^Yep... Rogers acquired Fido last year and Sprint this year...

The lack of standards has indeed left North America behind Europe & Japan.

Re: Wireless Carriers

indeed its a mess here.. so much monopoly.. rogers now offers wireless, cable, internet, landline so basically everything!

Lets start our own wireless company.. hmm GSConnected.. or something.. :D ..

Re: Wireless Carriers

So far i have the following list:

Rogers Wireless (Canada)
Telus Mobility (Canada)
Fido (Canada)
Bell Mobility (Canada)
Alltel (USA)
AT&T (USA)
Cingular (USA)
Nextel (USA)
Sprint (USA)
SunCom (USA)
T-mobile (USA)
VoiceStream (USA)
Verizon (USA)

This should be good enough but if anyone knows of any Carrier that is major and I missed please feel free to add.. thnx

Re: Wireless Carriers

AT&T has merged with Cingular. Its all Cingular now. No more At&T. Just wanted to add that. Besides the ones u listed above from US, I havent heard of any more. If there are anymore, they are mom and pop carriers with sucky service :D

Re: Wireless Carriers

As 5watery said ATT is no more, just cingular. Also VoiceStream is now T-Mobile. Here’s a site which lists a few more with their coverage maps:

Re: Wireless Carriers

MCI still provides wireless service, right?
