I've had several phone services and Cellular One has the best phones, coverage, service and prices.

It's the damn best, good rates, good time. Could work on the stronger signal for digital. Damn good service. Good price. I dunno, it's just the best. I'll be a Cell One customer 4ever. I do wish for shared phone minutes like Sprint.

Excellent customer service and great rates. Will work with you on finding the right monthly plan for your needs. Has new prepaid service.
Mike Longboarder 01/12/2001
A relatively good service. However, if you exceed the prepackaged time you will pay through the roof.

Cellular One has good clarity, but their service in Nothern California is inconsistant. They can also be difficult to deal with in regards to billing services. Their voicemail option is extremely user friendly. Overall, it was a fair consumer experience.

Cellular One phone service sucks because they charge you for everything, and really they should tell you your bill is going to be more than the $29.95. Also, their customer service sucks.
Monkey Girl 01/10/2001
I think this phone service is better than some of the other cellular phone services. The fees are reasonable.

I've been using Cellular One SVC for several months. It's okay service but often the line is cutting off. It's hard to hear. Also, they gave me a $100 limit because I didn't have enough credit. So, whenever I reach the $100 limit my service is temporarily interupted. What an inconvenience. Maybe it depends on the state. I am unhappy with Cellular One.
Ando 01/10/2001
Cellular One is an okay service. They have various rates to choose from. If you choose the right plan, you can use it pretty affordably. If you choose a plan and go outside of the boundries, expect to be punished quite a lot with extra charges. Make sure you choose a plan that is right for your lifestyle.
mrsmint927 01/08/2001
Cellular One service is bad. It is expensive and isn't flexible. The rates are high and you have to pay long distance fees and roaming charges. You can definitely get better plans if you look around.
Kcmehta 01/05/2001
This is good coverage because it covers my whole city, including surrounding cities. But unfortunately, it is expensive, more expensive (in my opinion) than other phone services (Sprint). And you have to sign up for a contract whereas with Sprint it is month to month.
Tuat gurl 12/12/2000
My old phone used to never have service no matter wherever I seemed to go. The rates were high and the coverage area was limited.

I agree with what seems to be a majority of raters who think that CellularOne is rather inferior in the service and customer service departments. Their contracts are weighted in their favor and full of surprises. I have been with them for 10 months and though it will hurt, I have decided to buy out my contract. I'd rather give them the $200 dollars now and be rid of them and their shenanigans, that to continue to be raped monthly when the bill arrives. Even if I refuse to use the phone, I'll be billed more that $200 over the course of the next 14 months. I was stupid and entered into a 2 year contract that I thought was proposed in good faith. I would discourage anyone from contracting with Cellularone. Since I entered into the agreement with CellularOne which seems to be the most widely advertised "service" in the area where I live, I have learned of three other people who have bought out their contracts because CellularOne failed to explain fully the ramifications of signing the contract unless you are very informed about all the situations which can arise after the contact is closed.

Very good Bay Area coverage but no nationwide coverage. No activation fees. Frequent promotions.
JMalkovich 11/24/2000
Cell One is a good service. They have a good coverage area. I never have any problems at all.
KennyH 11/24/2000
Very crisp, good reception, almost no dropped calls. Complaint, long distance fees and roaming charges.
Lairguy 11/22/2000
This service is good and nice. I have cell one but one thing they need is incoming minutes free.
balfa 11/21/2000
Very poor rates. Not a lot of options have to pay extra for a lot of features.
jthierry 11/20/2000
I have had Cellular One for about a year now and I haven't had a problem with it, meaning billing or communication. The plans they offer are very good.
jeremie 11/16/2000
One time I had a problem with my phone and no one at Cellular One wanted to help me. Saturday and Sunday's Cellular One has no business hours so they leave you with no phone to use.
BuffGuy 11/15/2000
I had this service but I didn't really like it 'cause I kept getting over billed when I wasn't supposed to.
Calvarado 11/15/2000
Customer service in Cellular One is the best out of all the mobile phone service providers. Some of the problems that I had with this provider was that they would charge for roaming, and high rates for long distance. Also that they don't have service here in Davis, Ca.
Dr Annabelle 11/15/2000
I'll have to agree with fodesskiy and ballerbd4, customer service is rude and uncooperative. (When I asked to speak to a supervisor, I was told that there was no supervisor there.) I had previous Cell One service and was attempting to go back to them, but needed to get something settled from my previous acct (-something that was their error, not mine). My conversation with the customer service rep reminded me of the problems I'd had before. Needless to say, I decided not to go with them again. Now, I'm trying to find another wireless service, but it looks like they all have problems with customer service. Isn't there something we can do???
chronicrj 11/15/2000
Good company but high rates. Has good reception, but payment is high. Has good plans on off peak and on peak minutes. Good company to recommend.
youngT 11/14/2000
For the money you spend it's the best deal. They charge something like $39.00 for 1400 minutes.
PlayGirl-123 11/14/2000
They have bomb service. I mean, you get cool roaming services and cool weekends.
camp707 11/14/2000
Although Cellular One is the big fish in the market right now, their service sucks. It is smaller than GTE. They also only use TDMF technology.
xicanoflav 11/14/2000
Cell One is the best because their 1-800 # is so nice and understanding.
jordan 11/13/2000
I don't like Cell One's service because you have to go through so many complicated lists to get the phone.
dazling 11/13/2000
They have great bucket minimum prices, such as $29.99 w/ 125 minutes anytime and 1000 minutes off peak. Plus, they have a large coverage area. Sometimes I get static.
ElRudes 11/10/2000
Cell One always tries to cheat you on your bill. They have an incompetent support staff so you must speak with a supervisor about inquires. Other than a strong frequency signal everything else sucks.
skrubdiztorzhe n 11/10/2000
Average service, but sometimes distorted. Confusing bill. Otherwise, okay service.
lynzee 11/09/2000
It has advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is when your 18 and get one it can help you start out your credit, and the disadvantage is you have a credit line and when you exceed it your card gets cut off.
suckatree4life 11/09/2000
Their service isn't always consistent. The bills are always wrong. The rates are too high.
mestrebj 11/08/2000
It's just that "Cellular One is the one that works." I just love Cell One and it offers clear service everywhere. Even if Hercules, it's a lot better than stuff like Verizon Wireless.
albee 11/08/2000
Cellular One's coverage is not that good. The service in the city of Hercules, CA is virtually not there. So if you want dependability, do not go with Cell One.
angie 11/08/2000
I am currently with Cell One on my cell phone plan and they are so good because they give you a lot of free minutes. One thing they can improve on is their roaming charges.
m3nidad 11/08/2000
Although they provide a lot of free airtime minutes, its coverage area is not as big as other service providers. Also sometimes it has weaker signals in places where PacBell has a very good signal.
cttibi43g8t 11/07/2000
There's no reception in rural areas. But as time progresses, the coverage area is expanding. There should be free long distance.
bigbitch 11/07/2000
Contract isn't clear. Rude representatives.
dayu 11/07/2000
It's a good service company. They have good rate plans. They are pretty reasonable too. They are also a little cheaper than other companies.
jose6868om 11/06/2000
Their plans don't compete against Pac Bell and Verizon. They don't offer free long distance. Plus, range is limited.
mbermay 11/03/2000
Absolutely the best coverage you can possibly get! Very few dropped calls, excellent rates, customer service is good too. And they give the Nokia 5100/6100 for free with a one year service agreement.
missstress 11/03/2000
They have good service because everywhere I go, I get at least two bars on my phone, even while inside. The only problem is my phone keeps getting turned off because I keep forgetting to pay my bill, but I guess that's for the best for me.
darstar88 11/03/2000
This service is great as well, and I like that you can change your plan at anytime and your initial contract date remains the same.
alrcbal 11/03/2000
In my perspective I feel that this is a bad carrier. Yeah, you can get good signals, but they are pricy on roaming and long distance.
frogg 11/02/2000
The service is almost always there for you by entering 611 on your cell. Features about calling are good because some are free.
dud-dud 11/02/2000
I used to have a phone with Cellular One and it was horrible. No reception anywhere. When I did have reception it was distorted. Sometimes it would even hang up on the other person.
pigpig19 11/01/2000
Cellular One does not provide good customer service. Their calling plans do not provide customers with what they need and are not as affordable. I was recently with Cellular One but I was not pleased with their calling plan and I found the changes to be too expensive.
stefie913 11/01/2000
Cellular one is a good mobile services company because their prices are very reasonable. On the other hand, Cell One does not give you as many advantages like other companies, such as Pacific Bell and GTE. Cell One does not give you good roaming services unless you have been committed to them for a year.
