Cellular carriers are not loved, but we sure wouldn't want to live without them. As much ire as U.S. telecom companies might face, they are a necessary evil; but which companies have the best plans?

We also discover how cell carriers rank on the consumer satisfaction index, and what the strengths and weaknesses are of the 'big four' in wireless - AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, and Verizon. Tune in to learn how to avoid pitfalls and if your service may be in need of updating.
