Cingular/At&t vs. US Cellular
Hi-
I'm currently a us cellular customer in the chicago land area and I'm considering switching phone companies. I think I'm looking more for the GSM Satelite service. But some people say T-Mobile and others say Cingular(now at&t). What are your suggestions? Does Cingular - At&t drop a lot of calls.

GSM doesn't use Satellites
Satellite phones are still around the $1/minute range

I own a iridium phone they only work outside dont bother about inside there great for hurricane emergency. Coverage wise i cant tell you who the best but don't go iridium there is also a 2 second delay on talking plus 500 minutes costs 500 dollars ouch!

I'm guessing you aren't looking for an actual satellite phone, but GSM. Coverage in Chicago looks pretty good for both at&t and T-Mobile per their maps.
Sorry I can't offer more, I live in FL.

get a phone from both of them and see which one you think gets better coverage in the area. i prefer at&t cause i believe more than likely they have their 3g service up and running there and that has huge advantages. plus it does look like at&t is rolling out a bunch of new phone over the next few months.
