Which phone company do you hate the most? Are you still with them or have you been able to move on?

I hate SPRINT!! ARRGH. Tomorrow I do the long awaited thing of getting a new carrier. My contract is over and they are gone gone gone. HATE SPRINT!!!!

My phone broke six months ago, and they wouldn't even sell me a phone at full price without adding a year to my contract. I hated them so much, I got by with a crappy broken phone.... ARGH!

So which company is the best then? Are any good?

I use a little company called Cricket. I don't know how far out they have managed to branch, but I don't have to keep track of my minutes at all. I could connect to the internet through that phone, and leave it on 24/7 and it wouldn't cost me any more than it does now. Not a bad rate either, unlimited local minutes/text messaging, from when I had this gf that was a big texter, and 600 minutes of long distance for 55.00 a month.

T-Mobile is absolutely horrid. I got absolutely no service anywhere... and of course the ad campaigns infuriated me. Yes, you get more minutes. Good luck using them!

So i gather you wouldn't appreciate it all too much, if we "outsourced" the rest of the German Telecom to the US as well?
Because we would love to get rid of them here.

Verizon has provided pretty solid service for me so far. I had sprint years ago and didn't like it.

Sprint's been okay, up until the last couple of weeks. I got a new phone, and noticed I could get a discount on my plan. They started the discount, but apparently that made my current bill (which is due tomorrow) past due, and they've been threatening me with turning off my service.

Yep... the bill due tomorrow is so far past due, we're going to sic collections on you.

Someone apparently has a time travel machine

I spent an hour talking with them on Saturday, and another half hour today. It should be cleaned up... or else there's going to be a lot of fun going on.

And they try to blame the computer system... don't do that to a computer guy. We know more about the system than you do... and we've never seen it...

Obviously this is a trick question. I hate them all equally! WITH NO EXCEPTION.

Well, actually, I hate whichever phone company the latest Indian man, you know, who calls around 7pm every now and again, whoever he works for. You know it's getting bad when your own service provider is calling you to make you 'sign up' with them.

Ugh.

Telecom, very fast in cutting people's line if you don't play their bills on time but slow to move their arse when your line got problem and need them to fix it.

Too bad though, they monopolyze everything in the country. So no choice really.

I can't stand T-Mobile. My phone lost its signal in the middle of Amsterdam! (and people calling me often didn't get through)
