If you live where no carrier has towers then ask the carrier to give you a local hotspot tower. T-Mobile sent me one free of charge. It uses my WiFi to create a mini T-Mobile tower inside my home. Doesn't help driving around but allows my phones to work in my homes without issue.
Doesn't help when camping either.
OP is talking about switching carriers and asking what carrier is better or best (cheapest? most coverage?)..
The problem however with this question is not all carriers may be good or even available in all areas. So what I recommend may or may not work for the OP and what someone else recommends to me may or may not work for me..
Most carrier "maps" are bogus, they are made up by their marketing departments to sell service. To get to the real truth, you really need to look closer at the actual physical towers in your given location.
In my case, Verizon and ATT claims coverage in my area on their marketing maps.
However, the reality is Verizon only has one tower near me and ATT has three towers near me..
Guess which service works better for me?
ATT..
But ATT may not have as good of tower coverage for someone else..
