My contract with Verizon ends in a few months and I've been researching other companies as I feel I'm paying too much for Verizon's service. I am a young college student and full time employee so I need my phone to be able to receive and initiate calls reliably which I know I will get with both T-Mobile and Verizon in my usage areas. However, I really like the pricing of T-Mobile as compared to Verizon.
Mainly, I text message and internet browse and because of this, I have a Blackberry with Verizon. In comparison, T-Mobile seems to offer more devices capable of these functions at cheaper monthly prices. I do make calls on my phone, but not as much as I use data service so call quality really isn't that big of an issue as long as I'm able to hear the other side and they can hear me. I don't need it to sound like they're in the room with me is what I'm saying.
If I were to switch to T-Mobile, I'd likely get a Blackberry, SideKick, or the G1 device for my data purposes.
I don't call Customer Service at all so Customer Service really isn't a factor for me either. I've only had to call Customer Service once since I've been with Verizon and that was to ask about a promotion.
All in all, I'm looking for opinions from users who use their cell provider for things similar to my uses.
