A T& T and Verizon

I know it's been discussed many times about which of these 2 carriers are best for those who travel the US extensively. I'm wondering if anyone uses both carriers? We are not big phone users but understand the necessity of having them on the road so I'm wondering if it would be best to have one as main carrier (can u say contract?) and have another like a Trac or Go phone with the other carrier so if you're in an area where one doesn't work or not very well? Anyone do this? Your thoughts?

    Maybe take a look at "PagePlus". Coverage is rather good & best of all NO CONTRACT.

    I've been using them for 4 years now, without a single issue. I fired Verizon after 18 years.

    The nice thing is, if they don't fit your needs you're not bound to a stupid contract & can stop service anytime.

    PS: I "flashed" my Verizon phone to PagePlus for a $35 fee

    We had AT&T but switched to Verizon and got better coverage. But there were still quite a few places we did not have service. We would never need or even consider a burner phone.

    We travel extensively, no need to have ATT as Verizon has the widest coverage for both phone and data

    I have only not had service 3 times in the last 3 years, all three times it was in or near a national park, Bad Lands, Big Bend and Yosemite.
