Cell phones

I have this new Apple Iphone and Verizon. So far the only place it don't work is here at home in central NC-----they offered to let us out of our contract but there is nothing else here. But the phone does everything I ask it to. "find 125 Joe St Greensboro, NC" OK found it "now take me there" and away we go......

I must agree

Same here ! We travel with both AT&T and Verizon, AT&T has got a lot better in the last few years, and there are places where they have coverage and V does not, BUT the more outta the way you want to go (boon docking) the better Verizon gets !! imho

We have all of the coverage advantages of Verizon's network, but none of the hassles of dealing with Verizon. Our cell phones are Android smartphones from Tracfone, and our Internet data service is from Millenicom. Our phone service averages $16/mo. per phone, and our data service is $70/mo. for 20GB of 4G LTE with 3G fallback.

Verizon has been best for us. I love having a smart phone to look things up while on the road.

If you have unlimited time, it's probably ok. :)

Recently switched over from Sprint to Verizon. Wow!! 4Glte coverage, fast internet, great coverage, and Lower price. Originally picked Sprint because of unlimited data. But if you get speeds resembling dial-up like I was getting, unlimited data does not really matter. We have the 8GB Verizon plan and it suits our usage. (NO movies or high level streaming) and we saver $50 bucks a month.

I have a ATT iphone and a Verizon enabled Ipad that I use to tether to my laptop if I need the laptop.which I dont because the iPad works fine for what I do. If my att phone wont work and I can get Verizon internet I use skype to make calls on my iPad. so for me, the best of both worlds.

For fringe reception areas, I don't think you can beat a Motorola VA76r Tundra unless you want to lug along a bag phone.

Here in WV, AT&T has far more coverage area than any other company. Other areas no doubt get better coverage from other companies.

Which one is best is tough. Which one has the most coverage is easy: Verizon.

But the complaints against Verizon are enough to scare me off.. READ THE FINE PRINT if you sign up with them.

My daughter just told them to bill-off (How's that for cleaning up what she really told 'em) As they kept increasing her monthly bill and reducing her features (Minutes, data limits) and Verizon is one of the companies that if you go over.. Well they may warn you (or not) it's a push notice to your device, but they also BILL YOU for the excess....... big time.......

I choose T-mobile. now at the time I was years from going on the road.. And they covered the limited area I traveled like a blanket.. My bill has NOT gone up, and my minutes and bytes have.. in fact... I went from 700 shared minutes, to 1000 to 1100 and finally UNLIMITED,, Messaging likewise has gone all the way up to UNLIMITED, and Bytes (Data) I get 6.5 GIG of high speed. (I used 6.2 last month the counter reset today, it was a "Big" month data wise) and if I go over.. NO EXTRA CHARGE.. Just slower speed (Dial up) which is good enough normally.

But they do not have nearly the high speed coverage.. They DO, however, have it where I need it.. So I'm happy.
