I read a bunch of threads on this but, I just don't have a clear answer because many were too techinical with words like "GAIT". I have no idea what that means! My problem is as follows:

1) I travel everywhere in the USA. Not just major cities.
2) I have the old AT&T one rate plan on a nokia 6160 (I also have three other accounts for spouse, mom and employee with various phones)
3) I travel internationally each month also.

I would NEVER have thought of changing except the CIGULAR people seem worse than Nazi Germany. If I so much as blink, they will switch me to the GSM plans. I am VERY worried these won't work in the middle of nowhere. Second, their so called customer service, is the worst I have ever encountered... EVER. It takes me more than 30 minutes of screaming, and I mean screaming at their stupid voice prompts to get a human. And they can't help either. It is like nobody has a clue. So I am VERY worried about CINGULAR. I kind of scoffed at people saying they were being forced off the old AT&T plans...

But I swear the quality of my phone service is decreased perhaps 70%... I just can't make calls anymore. And in places like Las Vegas! I would swear CINGULAR is doing something to force me to switch. Like turning down the towers or reducing available bandwidth or whatever it is. Bottom line is something is very, very, wrong...

So IF I have to switch... who do I switch to? My cell phone is my office. I can't not get my calls, and I have to make calls. I need bullet proof USA service. I can always keep my T-mobile phone I use for international.

By the way, anyway to recieve on a USA number in eurpoe for under 99 cent a minute? I understnad switching SIMS and making calls for less. But my clients would have to call international long distance.

Thanks for the help!
