I would say, based on my experience that none-of-the-above is the best answer.

I was a consultant on a Verizon contract for 3 years. They structure their fees to suck money out of you like a vacuum! And their model isn't exactly their own.

I choose a pay-as-you go no contract cell. I am not so vain as to be ashamed of saving hundreds of dollars a year in charges. When someone comes up to me and asks, who's my cell company, I tell em.

But my usage and income justifies the small inconveniences that come with pay-as-you go... I don't talk on my phone unless I am saying where I am and how soon will I be home.

I pay about $14.00 in charges every month.

If MONEY is no object, then by far, Verizon is your best carrier. Because they have the most extensive network and the most reliable services. Most companies in the U.S. have accounts with Verizon because of that fact.
