Verizon's high marks don't surprise me. However, I can't understand T-Mob's high scores. Everyone I know with T-Mob has call quality problems.

Seriously Army... I am soooooo happy to see you are a born again VZW lover...but I am getting a good giggle out of all your VZW raving because of the couple of months we all listened to VZW rants. I'm not teasing you, just wanted you to know that I have been getting a big kick out of it!

thats b/c it is done by survey. no field tests were ever done to back up the claim. consumer reports is a much better study to look at b/c they test out the service with actual phones not with calling a couple thousand people like that is a representative sample of the 10s of millions of cell phone users

Consumer report DID NOT test anything!

The name of the magazine is CONSUMER REPORTS. Hello?

Anxiovert:

Consumer Reports surveyed way more than "some plp who subscribe to the mag". In fact, the cell phone service ratings on page 23 of their January 2006 issue "are based on 50,515 responses from ConsumerReports.org subscribers surveyed in September 2005."

true, their results are from a survey not a field test. Tho your average cell phone user doesn't have the equipemnt to do field testing.. all we really know is that it works and it always works, and that I get my text messages and that i get my vm notifications, i don't drop calls, when i talk to my friends they think im at home cuz my call is clear there is no echo echo echo ohh ya and when i place my call, it connects ALWAYS, that's all i care about 🙂

Now where did i put my RF meter and that dam/\/ test probe!
