What is most important to you about your mobile phone service?

There are many things we want from our mobile phone service provider, but what is the most important thing to you when choosing a service? 

Have you ever switched service providers to get a better feature?  If so, what was it that made you switch?

Good selection of stylish phones (5.5%)

No annual contract (9.3%)

Good coverage/reception (36.4%)

My friends have the same service (2.7%)

Cost of plans, roaming charges, etc. (46.4%)

    I like a stylish phone, however reception trumps the style...and I want to be in a network where I can talk to my friends and family unlimited. I have been with At&T for a long time and almost everyone I talk to regularly is with AT&T.

    Its really important to me that theres good service, nothings worse than needing to make or recieve a phone call and not having reception

    T-Mobile's customer service agents have always treated me right. I've been with the company for several years.

    It does help when your friends and family have the same service as I do but overall the coverage and plan is whats most important to me.

    I would rather save some money and have a phone that is a little older, than pay more to have the latest technology.

    I have verizon service, but really can't afford the cost per month, last month my bill was 217.00 and to think i get all this plus perhaps brain cancer, what in the hell is all the clatter about?
