Ask your friends which provider they have and what kind of reception they get. I personally think the best service provider is T-Mobile but in some places the reception is very low. But T-Mobile always has the latest phones, latest features, and affordable plans with a good amount of anytime minutes :-D plus they are GSM which I prefer.

I am thinking of switching cell phone companies and so far, it looks like I'm going w/ verizon...good or bad choice? And if I go w/ verizon, which cell phone do u suggest...kyocera kx2 koi, motorola v710, lgvx6000 or something else...please reply, i'm desperate! Thanks much!
