How to pick the best cellular phone provider?

Maybe you really want to use a Nokia N-82 Smartphone. It is a GSM phone, you enter your Zip Code in the www.WirelessAdvisor.com search form, which will gives you all operators who have licenses GSM radio in that region.

At this stage, you need to start listening to other customers experience with the operator. Ask your family, friends and colleagues about the operator they use. They will tell us if they hate the service, and you know from personal experience that they drop calls all the time when we talk to you on their mobiles. This can be a sign of poor equipment, excessive use of the network, or low coverage in your area. I used one of the CDMA operators for years in the Washington, DC market. After decent services for a time, they quickly went downhill. I regularly received "network busy" messages on my phone and I had a very long and painful history call to the customer service. Despite using this operator for years (almost five, in fact), I could no longer believe it to be reliable network provider. Now, I made it very clear to anyone, I knew what I think about this company. For each network operator, I hear a lot of complaints, and we found that the quality of service depends not only on the operator, but also on how this system is implemented in a given geographical region .
So, you can pick a temporary operator for your service with the phone you want (or the one you already have). Go to the operator of the Web site and verify their coverage maps. Typically, these map are not very accurate, but it would give you a general idea about the coverage, check if you areas covered are the most common. If they are not, see another operator who can take charge of the same equipment. Otherwise, the options to reconsider your equipment or lower your standards.
