I don't know about down your way but CINGULAR IS THE BEST UP AROUND GLOUCESTER ,MASS.

When I was looking it took me a month to decide which company to go with. CINGULAR HAS THE MOST TOWERS.

My wife went to AT&T she can't use her cell phone in the house and I can with CINGULAR.

BUT ! ! remember there still are dead spots no matter who you go with.

And !!! cell phones aren't a reliable souce with the COAST GUARD. They still say to use # 16 on the vhf. Also you may want to put your cell phone in a zip lock just in case you end up in the water.
