I'm thinking about switching providers when my current contract ends this coming June. I really hate the Motorola phone I currently have. It was a particularly expensive phone because it works on both the Verizon CDMA network and GSM technology (ie, I could take it to Egypt with me and it would work there). After having it just a year, I started having problems with charging it. I'd plug it in, and it would fail to start charging. This has been going on the last 6 months. I have to nudge the power cord into a particular position "just so" or else it won't charge. It also has a dismally short battery life even when it is allegedly fully charged.
Rather than merely replace it with a better phone, I want to switch carriers too because of problems with Verizon signal quality. Sometimes when I use my phone to make a call, I'll suddenly NOT hear the other person talking. If I wait long enough, it cycles through and their voice returns. These outages last for a length of time that feels like forever - often 30-60 seconds. That's a lot of conversation to miss. They can hear me fine, I just can't hear them.
I had a bad experience with AT&T when I lived in California (horrid sound quality and dropped calls at my house, which was awful when we were trying to sell our house and prospective buyers were calling our cell). I've been debating whether to try them again.
