cell phone service

VERIZON has been the best one for us getting way off the Interstate highways... even works in GOBER, TX...

Verizon seems to have fewer holes and smaller holes than any of the major carriers.

Of course, we LOOK for those holes for boondocking.

We've had Verizon for many years and have had good luck in many areas out west. However,check every company's service area map. It is indeed true that along Interstates and larger cities there will be service but out in open country spotty...If the towns are small and far between you can bet service will be spotty. In our region most of the towers are Verizon towers and Viaero (Viaero has no sharing contract with other carriers). You will indeed run into dead zones

For example...we are near Crawford, NE...driving east from here to the nearest town to Wally World (30 miles)much of that route is a dead zone. Enroute to Scottsbluff to our south (70 miles) most of that is also dead. And that scenario is not unheard of in our region/areas I mentioned.

I'd not consider that a deal breaker. Good luck.

Not sure it matters AT&T or Verizon. Both have holes in service area. The way to find those holes seems easier to find when you really need your phone.

Have had all 3 major carriers and Verizon is the one with the least gaps or the BEST total coverage. There are some areas where AT&T did work and no other carrier did, but those holes are rapidly disappearing, especially in south Texas. We still carry an AT&T Trac phone for the possibility of getting into an area where we have no Verizon in south Texas, but have not needed it for over 1½ years now.

Best to take the time to check their service area maps to see how many places your going to be are not covered. As a General rule, Verizon gets the best reviews for coverage from things I've seen on TV, The Web and posts I've read on RV.net. I am sure there are places that ATT or SPRINT work that Verizon doesn't and vice versa.

We have Verizon and have had very good service just about everywhere we travel.

Had all the services, and Verizon has the best outlying area coverage hands down. Yes there may be those rare places that Verizon doesn't, but by far it is better.

Verizon has not failed us in the last 4 or 5 years of fulltiming. I wouldn't gamble with another carrier at 1/2 the price.

Verizon. We've used it all over the US. We also have a Wilson Sleek signal booster that we ordered from Walmart online. Helps in areas where the signal is weak. Won't help if there is zero signal.
