Largest Worldwide is Vodaphone Group
Largest in USA is ATT/Cingular (Verizon is largest Retail Consumers), but ATT still has more subscribers (retail, data, prepaid, govt contracts)
GSM is largest spread technology, so if you are roving worldwide look for a phone/provider using this technology

I’ve heard that certain cell phone providers allow you to test a cell phone for several days to ensure you get coverage. Does anyone know who does that? I’m asking because we’re looking for a new carrier and I’m nervous because our current carrier has VERY poor service. I don’t want to be stuck in the same situation again in a few months…

Answer by ♥Trish
I don’t reckon that I have ever heard of that. If you want to test drive the service and coverage before you buy, I would suggest go to the provider and try their prepay plot before you sign a contract. This will be an inexpensive way to test the coverage areas and customer service.

Answer by Iyla
verizon has a 30 day test drive.. go to www.verizonwireless.com but pretty much if you port your number back out if you dont get service then you dont pay anything…. but if you dont port your number then you have to pay for everything you used…

most additional carriers you have to pay for the mins you use….
