Default Cell phone providers

Anyone have their cell phone service through AT&T? My company offers a discount and I was thinking about switching from Centennial. Anyone have any feedback on AT&T? Thanks

Thanks. Yeah they all have flaws, but I keep it basic. No email, or pics and crap like that. Not too sure an 8% discount is worth the switch anyway. Hell I've been with Centennial for over 10 yrs. Like they say, don't fix what ain't broke.

Default AT@T

Been w/ them forever.
Only problem i have had /have is That when in grand isle / fourchon sometimes their signal gets hijacked by petrocom. and It's up to me to pay those charges. Isn't bad now that i know about it .The first time it happened i had 2 teenage boys down there for a rainy weekend and wasn't much fishing going on. They stayed on the phonne all weekend and ATT sent me a bill for almost $300.00.
I ended up paying $100 as my phone never said roaming just extended and i had the nation wide plan.
But they did inform me that there was nothing they could do about it and any future charges .

I had Verizon for years and could never get service at Big Lake and only very limited service in Grand Isle. I switched to AT&T last year and while I drop more calls with AT&T in the city the service in Big Lake and Grand Isle (the two places I fish) is great. I was on the phone with a clinet two weeks ago on the south end, had a 20 mintue conversation with no problems.

I will say that out of the big cell phone proivders AT&T's custmer service usually ranks near the bottom. Of course if you never have a real issue customer service is a non factor.

Thanks for the info guys. I just checked the plans and I think I'm going to stay with my current CPP. AT&T plan cannot touch my current plan as far as price.

My camp is up in Sikes. You have to go about 1/2 mile down the road to the top of a hill to get phone service.

Centennial in our area will soon be Verizon. Supposed to be in June when the switch is made. Hope our service stays the same or get better.

AT&T doesn't work in some of the businesses around Jennings and the hospital.

They did buy most of Centennial, but Verizon bought from west of Lake Charles to east of Lafayette and Eunice south.

I switched from nextel to AT&T. I had to drive 6 miles up the road to get service on nextel. Now I got full service in my stand with AT&T. Only flaw i think is that that drop alot of calls.
