Well I got back to school (Champaign) yesterday and my phone stopped working, I could make call or send out text messages and neither were getting through to me either. After some research I found out that U.S. sold out areas to sprint and Champaign happened to be one of them, so all towers for U.S. cellular are shut down. I was on the phone with tech support for over a hour and all I got out of that was deleted pictures and advice to switch carriers. Okay so now onto the question. What carrier is better overall, Verizon or AT&T? Im leaning towards Verizon because it looks like they have better coverage in the areas I will be in most of the time but price, customer service, ect. who is better? Any input you guys have for either would be great.
Some of the straight talk phones use sprint towers, some use verizon, and some use att. Whole lot cheaper than a contract. A lot of people I know are switching over. I hate my big bill but just renewed about 6 months ago sent from old school can and string
I feel your pain, I was with U.S. cellular for 8+ years. Best phone company to deal with by a long shot. Sprint is absolutely horrid in dealing with and in their coverage. At&t has that damn automated system I can't stand, have them for Internet. Went with Verizon, their coverage is good but their businesses practices leave me wishing I didn't. If it wasn't for the fact that I've had my number for 12 years I would have gone to aburner phone. Don't know if you can port your number to straight talk?
Around here, Verizon is the only provider that gets good reception. AT&T is junk here, so is cell 1. Straight talk is gaining popularity because they can use Verizon towers, so they get good reception here. But their customer service is poor at best because you typically have to wait through 10 minutes of automated crap before reaching a real person that's sitting in India somewhere. That being said, I've been kicking around the idea of picking up a straight talk phone for a couple months to see if it's something I want to stick with. I can get unlimited everything for $60 where my contract limits me to 2gb of data and ends up being roughly $120...
Verizon. I have AT&T, its serves me well in most areas. But I dont have complete coverage like I wish I had. A friend of mine lives in Door County, WI. He has Verizon and gets 4G. I only get 2G out there.
Thanks for the input guys. I think I am going with Verizon and getting the new iPhone the main reasons for going with Verizon is the coverage and the rest of my family is going to switch over too so it will work out nice that way. Sent from my XT901 using Tapatalk
