CS has better coverage in my part of the Delta....That's why I stick with AT&T :wink: :wink: :wink:

I think its a great idea. Cell South has the best coverage for Mississippi. They have a deal right now on the blackberry, 49 bucks with two year contract. The plan is 49 a month. That's unlimited nationwide text and data for emails and internet. Free mobile to mobile and 500 anytime minutes.
There are times when I can hold my phone up to others, I'll have half to fill service and the other phone with another carrier is showing an X for no service.

No complaints here.

Cellular South and Verizon have the same coverage map. They have a mutual agreement to allow each other's customers to use both networks. How do you think CS suddenly got nationwide coverage. So your coverage will be the same. I would venture to guess the customer service will be better with CS. I switched to CS back in high school when they first opened a store in Tupelo. Switch from AT&T, Bell at the time, and have never looked back. Better plans, great coverage especially in the delta, generally nice retail people in the stores.

CS can't be beat in this state....The only place I have had problems is on the river side of the levee North of Vicksburg and even then, I can get one out when I need too.....All other services fail when I have service...

CS has by far the best service in MS and also the best (and most economical) calling plans. Nobody else is even close.

Been with CellSouth since '94or'95 and been happy with coverage where I use it most - better "off the beaten path" than others, but others may be better on major highways. Hard to beat $50 unlimited MS (entire state plus TN upto Jxsn,TN and FL panhandle and AL coast) plus $5/mo text and $5/mo vm.

Cellular South is definitly the way to go. I left them one time and went to Cingular. It was awful. I will never leave them again. I went back in less than one month. They by far have the best coverage in MS and the best plans. I even turned off my house phone. We just use cellular now.

I've had Cellular South since the mid 90s. No real complaints here. None of them are perfect.

definately do it. My mom has verizon, dad has at&t, and I have cellular south. I am the only person that has service at our farm and I have full service, I have never lost service anywhere in mississippi and my parents do often. Plus your helping out or states economy instead of wherever verizon is based

I had to switch after 12 years when I moved here and went with cingular. Can't tell much difference but in the pocket book. AT&T gets you coming and going. I have them at three locations and mobile. If it wasn't for taxes an AT&T I might not have to work as hard. Maybe Mr. Obama will help a poo cheeseburger out. :roll:
