How to Find Cellular Telephone Companies ?

Edwards Finance > Phones

Q. What cellular telephone companies services coverage include > Western New York State, Erie County? ...

A. The two cell carriers in Erie and Niagara counties are Cingular and Verizon. There are probably PCS carriers as well including Nextel and Sprint. In adjacent Wyoming, Cattaraugus, and Chatauqua counties, it's Dobson Cellular (probably calling itself Cellular One) and Verizon, along with PCS carriers. Across the river, it's Rogers AT&T and Bell Mobility along with PCS such as Telus and Fido. Generally, how can all the cellular telephone companies that offer services and coverage for any particular location be looked up? I agree that the most practical approach is to look at the ads in a local paper. If you have a lot of free time, you can also look at http://wireless.fcc.gov which has the lists of what carriers are licensed for what areas. Keep in mind that particularly for PCS, not all licensed carriers are providing service yet. Let the phone companies charge extra. I'm sure that a lot of people will just move over to cable modems as they will be cheap in comparison to having an 'internet' telephone line installed. Not to mention the much higher transfer rate. In Calgary you can get WAVE from Shaw Cable. I'v already registered to hook up. It's blazingly fast! I would agree except that the telcos are already eying the cable market and would not stop at offering rock-bottom rates to undercut the existing cable companies and then once they own the market, raise the price, claiming "we are being overburdened by the internet user." I have no great love of cable companies either, but competition is what gets good service at lower price. Ask AT&T! (Please come back!! We'll be good! Yeah, right! Sure!!)
