Best Alternative to Millenicom

It has been our experience that in the western states, Verizon has much better coverage.

In the eastern states, AT&T.

It will depend upon where you live/travel.

Be careful also of those providing service on the "Verizon" network. My plan only uses actual Verizon towers and I recently drove half way across both Missouri and Oklahoma with no service.

Thanks JCpainter, that would be a bummer!

Do your due diligence with AT&T. We traveled out west with another couple last summer. They had a 6GB AT&T plan and we had Verizon.

Their data service was shut down after minimal usage. They called AT&T to see what was going on and they were told to read the fine print in their contract. Apparently when you are in an area where AT&T does not have their own towers, but provides service by using agreements with local companies, they limit your data usage to some really small amount and shut your service down if you go over it. I don't remember the number, but I believe it was less than 1 mg!

I immediately called Verizon to see if they also did that and they told me that they were familiar with the AT&T policy, but Verizon did not do the same.

That was over a year ago, so things could have changed . . . but you might want to check it out before you make your decision.

Which ever one you decide on you may want to have your phones and mifi device with same one. We have ATT. 2 smart phones and 1 mifi sierra device for about $200 a month for 15gb. We do have a Verizon mifi device $50 a month for 5gb. Verizon probably has larger coverage than ATT. Just my experience, ATT treats you better. Both about same price.

Yeah, I'm waiting on Verizon to contact me; the deal was just finished I suppose. What about True Connect? They look pretty good on their web site (of course), and seem to have coverage where we go.

If it were me, I would stay with Verizon. I'm sure the costs will go up vs. Millenicom, but V has recently taken steps to stay competitive with the others, and I don't think you'll find better coverage. See what they offer, then decide.
