I like Alltel in my area since there really isn't any other choices. Verizon sucks here because coverage is really good only in major towns here in South Dakota. They are really making good strides in South Dakota for the people here to get service. I herd from my agent that they are getting the new BB in the next 4 months. I don't think there is a better service carrier then the rest. I think it comes down to where you live and what you like to do on that network.
