Finding the best service

[jrdn.crockett]

For the first two years of operation, our company’s cellphone plan consisted of reimbursing our 7 employees for using their own cellphones. I found that it would be more affordable to get a company plan. But while I am looking at cost and service terms, what do I look for to determine who offers good service?

depends on airtime and data needs.

Sprint has cheapest data, but beat you over the head for voice.
Verizon has good voice, but are very proud of data serices.


figure the budget you can live with and options needed, then call the various carriers and have them give you a quote.

Probably the first thing I would do is determine who has the best coverage. A cheaper plan from another company but has no signal where you are, is really worthless because you may save a few bucks, but if you can't use your phone, whats the point.

I know USC offers a 30 day satisfaction guarentee, just make sure whoever else you try offers that as well.

And if its for a business, check with USC's business people. The plans and pricing for phones are little different than regular consumer pricing - usually a little better priced especially on equipment.

USCC is the best service for those of us who may get stuck in the subway or just want to make calls while we are down there trying to fight to get on the overcrowded trains. But my phone loses its signal in my office building and in my condo.
