If you are using it locally go with verizon. I haven't had any dropped calls over the last few years of service, always have clear signals, and the stores are so close they are my means of customer service. I started with cingular and had dropped calls at least once a week. (although I couldn't call the long range roaming service - out of state/territory - even remotely beneficial with verizon)
