    Verizon, It was the only company I could get service at my property with. But even then only on top of the hills.

    Same here, I get signal in deer camp or along the spine of Sierras. I had ATT and kept getting dropped calls, looked into Sprint and Verizon and liked the coverage better with Verizon. Only problem I have ever had was a phone wouldn't get reception standing under a tower. Verizon sent me a different phone and it worked great.

    You might want to look into offering a small slice of your property for a tower, sometimes it will pay the monthly cost of owning it;)

    Verizon, signal has been good. I will say however their coverage is very expensive. My bill for 3 phones on unlimited data is around $250 a month.

    Same service on sprint was $60 a month less, and that was before Sprint just reduced their plans cost.

    Man that is odd, we had Cell 2000 for years and loved them. They were bought out by Unicell our bill went up a bit and service went down, but it still was good. Unicell was then bought by VZW and at first they lied to me about switching to VZW so I went to Sprint. Absolutly Horible experience. Wacked bills, they offered me 25% my bill for beeing a Vet but never applied it. So on and so on..... So I got out of contract and went with ATT and Iphones. 2 lines 2 IPhones with the amount of minutes we needed. $330/month I just couldnt handle it. No *****es at ATT they told my the price I agreed. Apple on the other hand man did I have bad luck. Finially I just bought out of contract and went to VZW. I have a Droid and the wife has a regular ol nothing phone. $160 month. Everyone here has VZW so I could go way down in minutes. The internet is faster and from my experiences oer the last 4 months have been all good.

    You guys that are paying $250-300+ a month for cell service, do you also have a home phone? Seems like a lot of coin for a phone IMO.
