We have US Cellular and provided we can stay in our minutes, we like it fine. However, we will be shopping around when our contract expires. If the person is staying on the beaten path here - which means on or near town and the I-79 corridor - then they really can look at other companies, like Nextel, Sprint, and a local provider, Intelos. If they are not staying on the beaten path, then they will probably want US Cellular or Cellular One. Most people I know use Cellular One for one contract term and then leave them. We basically don't like them. Their coverage is better for some people, but their service is lousy. My boss has Sprint PSC and he takes it up and down the east coast and usually has service. So, I guess I'm not a great deal of help. But, some info. Also, Verizon is moving into our market, but I am not familiar with their service plans. Because of our terrain and lack of towers, it really does depend where the person will be traveling, if at all, and where they plan to live.
