Wireless / Cellular Service in SoWal

[ShallowsNole]

Guys, I know this has been discussed before...but tomorrow is my contract expiration date with Nextel (yee-haw!) and we ARE going to switch service providers on Saturday. I was with Alltel before and was perfectly happy (and, they stayed pretty much up through Ivan) so that was my choice. However, relatives are urging me to go to Cingular. OK, fine, I'll take a look, rollover minutes seem like a good idea. Now, my husband has a co-worker who uses Verizon and hub has just become enamored with said friend's phone ("It's clear as a bell in Inlet Beach!"). So, what was going to be a simple decision has become muddied.

Recommendations? Dead spots for each company in SoWal? Maybe SJ or Daddy-O can post a link to the thread we had before?

I also have cingular and have been happy with the service. Although today I am sitting a parade of homes house and I only have one bar....

The only place I don't have a signal with T-Mobile is for about one mile between Grayton and Blue Mountain Beach. Their prices are good, too.

I have Cingular and have great service there. Have friends with Sprint and T Mobile and they never have as many bars as I do. It does get low for a short distance in Blue Mountain. Compared to all the others I have much better service.

I have T-Mobile. Can't get service between Troy and Defuniak Springs. On 30-A I can't depend on service in Seaside or at Alys Beach. I know this all too well because before I got plantar fasciitis, I ran from Rosemary to Seaside and back and was always scared early in the AM in areas where I couldn't make an emergency phone call.

My husband has Verizon and has service virtualy everywhere (except for a few random spots).
