Is the signal? Choosing the best cell phone operator
In recent years, the use of cell phones has increased dramatically. Comments and technology columnists have devoted volumes on the topic your choice. The faithful of the iPhone, Blackberry, Palm, Sidekick, etc, are committed in heated debates in which the line is better.
Relatively little has been written, however, comparing the cellular operators. To a large extent, a phone cell is as good as the company that provides the signal. We see here that the carriers of the assessment and monthly plans are also involved examination of cell phones that run.
JD Power and Associates reported that the quality of services * all cell phones has become so consistently high in all areas there was no reason to have a "land line" anymore. Paradoxically, ask a friend of horror stories about cell phone reception and have a lot of stories by the fire to say. JD Power and Associates also said that customers the operator called their complaints were not resolved by customer service were six times more likely to switch providers. And in fact, happens all the time. If you are not satisfied with the cellular phone A, which is pretty easy to get another. But dropping a mobile operator is another matter. The advent of transport contracts the penalty of cancellation of telephone charges in much the time has come to combat the dissatisfaction of cellular service. Even the arrival of 3G networks, announced with great fanfare, has not abated a significant percentage of mobile customers who are unhappy with their carriers. According to comScore Networks, a four cell phone users are not satisfied with your wireless service provider. With these statistics surprisingly large, it is clear that technology cell phone signal is still in his teens. With this in mind, we can now compare carriers.
According to comScore, Verizon Wireless has always been rated the best company in terms of coverage and customer service. Overall, only six percent of clients to terminate his contract service.
AT & T / Cingular come second behind Verizon. Switches Alltel customers service contract is more likely to stand by 9 percent, while Sprint / Nextel has an even greater degree of dissatisfaction by 11 percent. At the bottom of the scale is T-Mobile, with 15% of customers want to leave the contract obligations.
But it may be more to this than meets the eye. The study by comScore above is not a specific use and percentage of customers for breach of contract of service as the litmus test of popularity. A survey by JD Power and Associates in effect, confirming the leader Verizon but mentions that this is particularly true in the Northeast, where Verizon coverage is stronger. T-Mobile, with the lowest score in the comScore survey, currently ranks first in the Southwest, according to JD Power. In addition, Verizon also lowest in terms of phones that work in their service, they tend to use CDMA instead of GSM. As a result, Verizon phones tend not to accept the SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) which prevents their use when traveling abroad. Rate Verizon also ranked significantly higher than its rivals, and although the customer service gets high marks, scores tend to be confusing to read.
JD Powers Sprint also has a strong following in the Southwest, but at the same time, acknowledging that the lowest ranks Sprint in call quality. This statistical was also confirmed by a survey by PC Magazine. However, PC Magazine ranks of T-Mobile as the best company in terms of price, and second only Alltel in the service plan options. T-Mobile also offers its services in a wide range of phones and smartphones card support GSM / SIM card for international use.
Prepaid Cell Phones deserves its own category as a whole. Virgin Mobile has won the highest marks, just ahead of T-Mobile and TracFone, respectively. Verizon, ATT & T, follow in decreasing order of popularity, with poor Sprint / Nextel even once in the bottom.
Often, people leave the choice of suppliers of services determined by the phone of your choice. Let me suggest that it may also consider the opposite, finding the best company for your needs and choose from there to the phone.
