Default Need an opinion on which network

My contract is about to expire with Cingular and I was considering switching to T-Mobile. Should I or should I not switch??

Cingular has better reception, but TMO is a better bang for the buck.

That's why I'm with TMO.. I'm poor.

t-mobile leases much of their service area from cingular. so in most places the networks are the same.

I would stick with Cingular. Two of my friends that had T-mobile had horrible reception everywhere and they switched when their contracts ended. Try calling Cingular's retention department and threated to cancel and they'll try to get you a better plan. They have more power on what to give you compared to salesmen.

i prefer verizon over all the other providers. Anyway, cingular will offer you the most selections of phones, but damn does their customer service suck monkey balls. I'm only with cingular because of the 8125 (thank god i was able to talk my way out of a 2 year contract).
